Well, had eye exam yesterday and, sooner or later, have to have cataract surgery in both eyes. I can't get any new glasses. They ones I have area the best I can have...….told to me by two vision doctors now. Obviously I can't wait until after we move, so will have to have it done sometime after this summer. Like any other surgery, I'm not looking forward to it, but it has to be done...…….just like both of my rotator cuff surgeries and my hip replacement was.
Good evening we are in the country now having arrived on the late train, the heatwave has gone and it's cloudy and much cooler now. I hope to finish Lisa's room before we leave on Monday, I will come back to my room when I return in September. We are also looking forward to our 5 day trip down south on Tuesday, and next month we go on our Bulgarian/ Macedonian vacation which will be hopefully be an interesting one. Here are a few Bulgarian paintings most are by Pavel Mitkov ..... Pavel Mitkov was born in Sofia, Bulgaria in 1977. He took up painting in 1994 while still at high school. Later, he earned a degree in Landscape Design. Mitkov quickly made progress in the world of art, in just a few years he became one of Bulgaria’s best selling painters and in 2007, a Deutsche Welle documentary even pitched him as one of Europe’s most successful artists whose art has a universal appeal. He received international recognition in 2004 when the St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral Board of Trustees, commissioned and made a gift of one of Mitkov’s painting to the Russian President Vladimir Putin, who was on a visit Bulgaria. That brought in plenty of commissioned artworks and prestigious exhibitions. Mitkov’s paintings have also been presented as gifts to Pope John Paul II, King Albert II of Belgium, Pope Benedict XVI, Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, Russian Patriarch Kirill and other dignitaries from all over the world. With numerous international exhibitions in Europe, the USA and Russia Have a great day.....
Nancy from SF? Nice to have you here.. Good morning all.... it's 8.45am overcast and very humid temps expected to reach around 72 degrees f I've got to go out mid afternoon to the next town , but other than that I'll be staying home all day... Have a good Friday everybody!!
I have been up since 6am and am still in bed drinking coffee at the moment until the local building merchants open, so we can can go and buy some more materials to finish off Lisa's room. The morning here is sunny but only 8c (46f) so a tad chilly, but it should warm up later, have a great Friday ......
Yesterday when I went to my daughter's she had bought a new table and chair set for her little ones and when I saw it I thought how perfect it is for having a tea party. So today I want to share some tea party paintings with everyone. And here they are. I have always loved having tea parties with my granddaughter's when they were little and now it is time to plan a tea party for my youngest granddaughter. Oh what fun it will be especially since we will have it in their Gazebo in their back yard. This time Mom will be invited to tea with us too. I wish all of you a beautiful Friday and a weekend filled with memorable moments.
@Babs Hunt , those tea- party pictures are so sweet, thanks for taking the trouble to find them and post them...
Morning all... It's a little overcast here but warm...the sun is beginning to come out from behind the clouds, and we're gonna get about mid 70's today... it was reallllllly humid during the night, but the ceiling fan keeps me awake if I turn it on and we don't have AC here in 90% of the houses.. Hubs has been away on the stag party for his best buddy the last couple of nights , he got home about 10am this morning and has gone straight to bed...LOL>>> I have no sympathy!! Have a great Sunday whatever you're doing...
Good Monday morning to you all, it's a grey warm one here in the country, I have been burning the midnight oil and finally finished Lisa's room late last night, I only have 2 more coats of varnish to put on the cladding and finish off a bit of wiring today, then we head back into St.Petersberg on the evening train. I hope you had a good weekend...... Have a great week.....
Good morning all.. It's a gloriously hot sunny morning.... All our plumbing upstairs in the house has stopped working...thank goodness hubs has a day off because he's up in the attic fixing the blockage in the tank... I'd have had to pay someone to do it if he hadn't been here Then when he's done we've got to go shopping to buy new outfits for a wedding we're attending at the end of the month ..but it has to be done now, strike while the iron is hot, because my husband hates shopping for clothes , and he's working after today until we leave for overseas..so there won't be any more time before the Wedding day! This is a picture taken from the pub garden in our next door village, many people arrive by horse rather than car because we're in rural farmland!! Have a good Monday everyone, whatever you're doing!!
Holly, why does your husband work so many hours? Wife and I thank God that she only works 40 hrs. a week, with every weekend off. Actually, I remember, back in the mid 70's, when I was in EMS (didn't call it that then) that I had to work weekends as well as spend the night where our Unit (ambulance) was parked (house). After I left that job, I went into manufacturing and only worked Mon thru Fri, 8 hr days and weekends off. I liked that much better.
