Calamity Jane & Watery Landscapes Course


Busy, busy day yesterday got home to late to Blog--had a fantastic day! Up and about on Saturday morning made the early cuppa then had breakfast before having a shower and washing my hair. Then we all got into the car and headed for the beach to take the Wonder Dog for a walk. Had a great time with him throwing big shells and stones, he retrieved lots of shells.
back home a we are expecting visitors from the Isle of Lewis T & K for an overnight stay as they are going to the Edinburgh Tattoo! Sure enough arrived almost on the dot they said they would 1335h, lovely to see them, cups of tea and coffee then we all set off to the town.
Graham and I were meeting the family to go to a singalong with the film 'Calamity Jane', T&K for a meander around the town. Met the family Bella dressed in her Glam Calam gear. Met one or two people we know, the cinema was packed--all I can say great film, singing and clapping:)
Really enjoyed the afternoon, Joe dropped us off at the house T&K there, we had a natter then they went to catch their bus we got Ruaridh and drove over to the family's.
Had a Chinese take away for dinner, then sang along to Buddy Holly whilst Bella danced. Read the wee one a story and told her one about when I was young, 'How can it be about you if you are telling it Granny'--pass.
Goodnights said and we called at Asda to get messages.
Home T&K arrived they had a great night, nattered a wee while then bed.
Sunday up early as I am going to do the Watery Landscapes course. Saw to Ruaridh had a wash then made breakfast when our friends got up. Another blether and goodbye then Graham and Ruaridh dropped me off for my course.
Love Lauriston Castle where the course is being held--in the Glasshouse, about seven of us turned up. Found it difficult--remember now how to mix colours and let them run etc. also how to use brushes to achieve different shapes. Must buy three new brushes, think G used mine to pollinate the tomatoes when we lived at the cottage:)
Enjoyed the course especially the chocolate cake for lunch with coffee! Graham picked me up and home, he and Ruaridh had spent time with Layla and Bella.
Made our bed with clean linen, Graham made a lovely dinner of falafel taco's with roasted veg, salad and chili sauce, delicious.
Attempted to catch up on my Blogging getting difficult again--bye!
