TODAY'S MISSION: finish all these paintings...
ABOVE: 4 of these paintings are ALL DONE. But the rest need to have their hanging strings added and be signed.Then I will be taking some of them to market with me on Saturday.
Bex is calling in this morning with some clips, so I can hang them on the side of my gazebo. Well, I hope that will work. Might be a case of trial and error.
ABOVE: This darling wee man just ADORES our dogs! It's such a shame the family cannot have a dog at their rental property.It's lovely for Archie that they only live around the corner now. He can come and love on the dogs most days. I swear, he loves them more than us!
Once I'm up and dressed, I will put me face on and give you a look at the front of my hair. I just LOVE IT! I'm so very happy to have found a hairdresser 5 minutes walk from home, who can do it perfectly! It's taken 4 years to find a good one again.
ONWARD...
So far today, it's been excellent!
Bex called in and we went down to the local shops, where I bought a dried flower arrangement in a cute pot, a tin of chocolates and a little Boot of chocolates.
Then we took them to my new hairdresser, as a 'Thank You' for getting it right! The tin of chocolates are for all the ladies who work there, the little boot of chocolates is for my hairdressers little boy, and she got the dried flowers.
Good deed of the day - DONE.
Now... here's photos of the hair from the front:
ABOVE: Even tied up it looks good!
And now I'm going to get to work on those paintings.
1.24 pm: And all the paintings are done, boxed up and ready for market. Another good job done.
Now I feel a bit jaded. At least I slept last night, compared to two night's ago, when I hardly slept at all. Too much stuff on my mind, always keeps me awake.
Have I told you how I'm feeling now?
WELL... I finally feel like I am 'AT HOME' and settled in again.
The world does not feel 'off tilt' anymore either.
That was a weird feeling I must say.
It has taken almost 2 weeks to get my head around everything that has gone on, and IS going on.
But, my equilibrium is back, and life is ticking along nicely.
I'm even almost looking forward to this Saturday's market! ALMOST. Getting up extra early? Nah, not so much.
8.50 pm: Well I've had a relatively quiet afternoon. Didn't do much. Stew got home after work and we went up to the local college to check out our market site.
Then home for dinner.
Cold meats and salads like last night.
Now, watching some mindless TV before bed.
Nothing like a good color job to lift your spirits.
ReplyDeleteSweet picture of your grand!
Your paintings give me a happy vibe, they are so pretty. It is nice for you, Archie and your doggies that Archie visits so often. Even if the dogs are the star attraction, you get to see him too.
ReplyDeleteCan you try to recreate that pose from yesterdays post. The hair swing, and the hand "just so".
ReplyDeleteI love a good hairdresser! I have one of the very best but sadly she is off for months due to getting breast cancer. Her replacement is not nearly so good so it will be not so great haircuts and colouring until my hairdresser returns. God I hate a bad haircut! It's wonderful that Archie can be around your dogs - perhaps one day they will get a place where they too can have a dog but at least he has your two :)
ReplyDeleteLove the hair, you look great :-)
ReplyDeleteFabulous hair Chris, you look like one of your daughters,,
ReplyDeleteSeriously you look at least 10; years younger than what your birth certificate says,,
Your hairdresser got her toning perfect
Well done with the prezzies n the wee guy n the dog is priceless
Enjoy your day
Cheers 🥂
Love the hair and glad that you have found a really good hairdresser locally. Hopefully you will be able to do the same with a doctor!! Children and animals are so cute together. BTW, if you had smiled you would look TOTALLY beautiful in those last two photos - nearly there. Audrey

Wow, that cut and colour looks fantastic. She did a really great job. Little things like that can really lift your spirits and make you feel more like yourself again. I hope the market goes well for you - it would be great to clear some stock before the new year. Liz
ReplyDeleteHair looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteHi your hair looks lovely, do you wear it out much?
ReplyDeleteI only wear it out if I'm going out to a 'do' or party or similar. Otherwise I tie it up to keep it off my face. Not a fan of hair on my face at all.
DeleteAbsolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLOVE LOVE LOVE the hair. Its so great when you find a good hairdresser. I've been going to the same girl for 10 years now. She is awesome too. Have a great day. Kristin :)
