OFF TO CAMBRIDGE

 

First up, how about some Coco snaps from yesterday...

ABOVE:  WHY?   Mexican standoff.  She does this ALL.  THE.  TIME.  She was right at the full extension of the lead, so I just stood and waited until she went around the pole the RIGHT WAY.

ABOVE: And this stance?  It's called I'm not coming back.  I don't want to go home.  I'm going this way and I'm NOT moving, I'm digging my heels in.  All four of them.  So there.

And lastly for Coco news:

ABOVE:  SPOT.  THE.  DOG.   She blends in so well. Love you Coco. 💗💜💙

Today I am off to Cambridge, to Mosaic Group.  But I am not going to do mosaics anymore.  I am gunna KNIT !  lol  I hope I don't get kicked out of the group.

When I get home... I will take a photo of the hearts on our bedroom wall.  It was too dark last night to get a decent photo.

1 pm:  And, I didn't get kicked out of Mosaic Group.  They don't care if I sit there and knit, or just yak.  It's a social group, there to support each other and have a nice morning together. 

I got half a teddy knitted.

Then came home and immediately went outside to tweak.

ABOVE:  I had thought about the fountains position overnight, and knew it wasn't in the right place.  And I knew where I wanted it.

RIGHT THERE, in that garden, under the kitchen window.  

I am going to screen off the satellite dish somehow too... it's ugly.

ABOVE:  It wasn't that hard to drag the base over to there either.

Two of my neighbours (ladies) saw me dragging it and were worried about my back.  They even offered to help!  But I said no, I couldn't ask them to help!  It wasn't that hard really.

I'd certainly NOT try lifting the big pot though.  That will have to be done by a couple of strong men.

ABOVE:  I had to drag this freakin' pot to this spot too... it wasn't fun I can tell you.  I tried to get it on the hand truck, but didn't have the strength to tip and roll it.  So, dragged it was.

ABOVE: Once the bottom part was in place, I filled it with water, as I wanted to make sure the pump was working.

IT ISN'T!  I have rung Mitre 10 and let them know, as they will have to replace it.  Grrrrr.

It has to be going before we lift the pot on top.  I'm now waiting to hear back from them.  

  

ABOVE: Stew last night, hanging our hearts.

ABOVE:  No more holes all over the wall.  Just one to hang it from.  I've not quite finished with that installation yet.  I'm going to make a black 'frame' that sits out from the main board.  It will tie it into the black light fitting in the room.

But, it can wait for now.  

Now... lunchtime.  Take a break time.  Catch ya later.

Well it is much later.  I had a quiet afternoon, then took Stew to the pub.  Then I visited with the kids, before joining Stew.

We are now home, and looking forward to a couple of hours watching the telly till bedtime.
