saturday.


Just taken the above photo of a cross stitch picture Ann embroidered for my last big zero birthday. Always liked it. Sort of enlarged illuminated capital. Finished off small clock I have been working on over Christmas - now ready for delivery. Went to scrabble club this afternoon. Only five of us so rather than playing a three and a two game (two handed scrabble - if both players know the other's game - is very predictable) we decided to play a five handed game - great fun. Doris won the first two games by going out first and collecting the other four's remaining points, and although she went out first again on the third game, I had managed to build up enough points to win anyway. Very pleasant couple of hours. After that Ann and I met up in the library and then walked round to the local optician's where we acted as guinea pigs for trainee opticians. We do this voluntarily but the optician always presents us with a bottle of wine apiece as a 'thank you'- very civilised of him. Home and had the last of the leg of mutton casseroled with lots of left over vegetables - very tasty too. Just got to clean my black shoes ready for choir in the morning then off to bed. Goodnight all.

Very true NEA. You'ld better come and help us drink it on your Grandfather's genteel principle of always accepting a drink when offered, to prevent it falling into hands less able to cope well with it. Or to put it another way : "Cheers (hic!)".

Come on, give us another picture, before you forget how to do it;)
