Finishing off February

So I got to the end of February and stopped blogging for a while.  The trouble is the longer I left it the harder it became to start again.  So I am going to catch up February to June and kick start the blogging again.

Went to appointment at Charing Cross for removal of ingrowing eye lash.  They were somewhat bemused that I had been referred to hospital, and pulled it out with a pair of tweezers.  They have put me down for laser removal in August – but between now and then I shall watch for it growing again and see if I can pull it out with tweezers myself.  If I can, I will cancel laser appointment.

End of February saw the Barnes Ringers AGM – followed by Annual Dinner in the Melvill Room - Penny Dupre did the catering this time.  I wore one of my new tops, and experimented with leaving my hair down.  It looked ok when I left the house but later it looked awful and billowed out around my head.   I shan't repeat the experiment until I have found someone I trust to layer it properly!

Handbells: have scored a couple more peals in hand, one of Turramurra on Trebles at Guys and one of Superlative on 5-6 which coursed throughout with Steve, Hamish and Margaret.  Had some more attempts at the 4xspliced without success.

Roving Ringers/Cottage holiday Leominster

28th July - 4th August 2018 Photos     Itinerary Mike was based with Rovers at the YHA in Leominster , while Suki and I stayed in a cottage a few minutes drive away -  The Owl Barn  near Kimbolton. Just a few days after the Barnes Summer Trip we were off on the Roving Ringers week.  At the last minute it seemed that no-one was going to be organising the catering, so I ended up taking this on - with the help of a suggested menu and shopping list from Becky, who would be providing the meat.  I cooked a vegetable pasta sauce for the first night, and then did a huge online Sainsbury order to be delivered direct to the hostel on the Saturday night.  This worked extremely well - and it was certainly much more pleasant to sit in the garden on my computer than pushing two trolleys around a supermarket and then packing/unpacking the car.  It was just as well we did it like that as there wasn't much room in the car for shopping once we had got ...

Wednesday 3rd December

It was lovely having a houseful this morning.  Sam said the futons were comfortable, which is good to know.  I took Suki for a walk and then went to Westfields with Lorraine, Sam, Amanda and Bethany.  We went to the food court so that the others could get something to eat, and I bought a couple of wraps from the Lebanese stall for lunch - a falafel one and a halloumi and olive one. I went home once they started shopping as there was not much I needed.  We shared the wraps, having half of each one each.  They were excellent and very filling. I took Suki out again in the afternoon and then we went off to Baden Powell House for Goldsmiths rehearsal.  We got baguettes from Pauls again, and I also took a flask of coffee as it was the final, long rehearsal tonight. We got home quite quickly on the tube and I finished off the coffee and had a sake before going to bed and watching another episode of Doc Martin.  Rather annoyingly this one didn't follow on from...

Thursday 31 July

Went up to the Woodland Trust car park at Bovey Valley woods and explored the path off to the right which went along by the river and was very pleasant.  I then followed a little path through the woods at the end, over a stile, and came out on the track a little way down.  Did the Hisley bridge circuit to get back to the car park.  Went to handbells in the evening - Lisa came too.  She rang 11-12 and I rang 9-10 and had to turn the pages and generally help her!  I have moved up to P and she now has the L plates!
