Woke up with a cough and sore throat- most unlike me.Went to Bridge this morning. R has decided not to come again so wasn’t sure who I would end up partnering with. However a regular group of 4 women had had one drop out so I filled her space. They were very friendly and think I’ll carry on joining them. Some things gradually came back to me and I quite enjoyed it. At least for these last 4 weeks we aren’t learning anything new!
Got back home and the decorator had almost finished the downstairs cloakroom (blipped) . I really like it! He cleared up and put my big canvas from Australia up above the stairs. It only took him about 20 minutes- J and I would have been faffing about for ages. Gardener arrived to prune the acer etc but it started to pour with rain so he went again.
Cleared up in the hall etc and then remembered I had lots of smallish stones from holidays away so got those out and put them on the windowsills going up the stairs, along with some of my dad’s turned bowls. Think I like them there - it looked a bit bare before and these fill some space without getting in the way of the stained glass windows.
Did a few more things on the list but my cough was getting a lot worse so I stopped at about 5.30 and retired to the sofa
