Morning everyone.
Woke up to a beautiful blue sky and sunshine. And now it’s raining. My walking buddy, Marion, are off to the free transport weekend down here in Saltash at the Waterside venue. There are free bus rides, Tuk Tuk rides, free boat trips across the Tamar to the Royal William complex in Plymouth. Plus there is a meeting with council officials and for the general public to put there tuppenney’s worth in. I can have my walk as well. I can manage a 45 minute walk without the ankle playing up too much. Still using one crutch. One of my neighbours is a retired orthopaedic nurse and she has readjusted the height on the crutch for me so I can be more upright when I walk. She has also given me a few more exercises that I can do whilst laying on the bed. Gradually getting back to normal, well as normal as I can get.

Boy, does that pool look inviting I like your theory. I guess you're working on the 'you are less tasty food' than the groceries in the other tent ? Do you keep a camp fire going through the night to ward off would be predators ? Enjoy your shopping trip to get a new (weatherproof) tent .

Thank you Jeff. If we think there is a lion around, we keep a fire going and the car doors open in case we need to get in fairly quickly, otherwise we don’t keep the fire going and put it out after dinner. These days it’s all health, safety and security precautions, so we have to hire the services of 2 armed rangers to watch over us. They charge 1000 Kenya Shillings or £6 each for the night. This includes their food and water. They protect us from the wild animals and poachers/bandits. 10 years ago today Jeff, you invited Derek, Lilian and myself to join you and Ros at Brands Hatch. What a great day that was. On the left is Gate Keeper, Windrush - Derek in the middle and MG hat far right is yourself 😀 We count our blessings we are lucky to be here ….. 😀😀 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

Tent
Hi Phil, In 1960 my parents bought a tent from Low and Bonners in Nairobi. It was used on a trip from Nbo to cape Town, we kids slept in the back of the station wagon. No need for guards anywhere in those days, just kept fire at night to keep animals away. How times have changed. That tent lasted well for over 30 years and many safaris.

Afternoon Phil, Thank you. We were only saying last night, where on earth has all that time gone. Yes that meal was very rich & a one off really to celebrate our anniversary weekend, It very nice indeed though. More than one wife? Oh heck! I don't think I could manage something like that. I've been fertilising the bed in the other greenhouse & putting the tomato frame up ready for when the tomato seedlings are big enough, All this low light cloudy, cold, wet weather has not been good for the plants especially the tomatoes, cucumbers, chillis & bell peppers. They're behind when they should be by now even on heat mats & under grow lights. On the other hand, the first early variety of seed potatoes (Ulster Prince) are all starting to break through the compost & doing well.

I also got reminded of that weekend on my Facebook memories today as well. Was a wonderful day but sad knowing that Derek is no longer with us. A true Gent in every sense of the word.

This morning I removed the boat mattress and bedding that had been drying out in the studio.
All in the back of the car ready for Ros and I to take it back to the boat shortly. As it was all out I could put all the lighting stands, modifiers and background papers back up. So now the studio is back up and running....Ready for it's next willing victim Our studio by Jeff Cranwell, on Flickr

Afternoon all.
Back from the first Midlands Nano of the year. The sun came out and it was pleasantly warm. Met up with and had a good chat to friends I've made over the years at this event. Quizzie acquired various "treats" by various combinations of brown "puppy dog" eyes, slight whimpering and straightforward theft . Enjoy Easter whatever you are up to. Andy. |
