The Leas on a Beautiful Day

Wendy needed to get out so Caelyn and I took her to the Leas to allow Nigel the luxury of a Sunday Afternoon Snooze. A band was getting ready to play at the old Bandstand. That Tuba was bigger than Wendy.

Here are Caelyn and Wendy settling down to listen for a while

There were loads of people, just enjoying being out on such a lovely day. There were loads of dogs out with their owners too.

Artists were exhibiting their artwork and a lot of it was for sale.

It added colour to an already colourful day.

This is a sculpture made entirely of computer parts.

After seeing all there was to see, Wendy got a lift on my lap (see the dog at my feet) and we went to the fabulous Italian Ice Cream shop, where we indulged!

When we got back home, Wendy and Nigel had some time together

Last one in this post: See how mother-and-daughter they look?
Wendy was tuckered out after all that and conked out for a sound sleep while the adults enjoyed the peace. Nigel was reading, Caelyn was doing college work and I worked on my computer. They had come round so that Caelyn could wax Michelle's legs, but Michelle didn't turn up. Caelyn had done a lot of waxing on my mum and I as well as Michelle on Friday evening. Nigel, being a bloke, was banished to the kitchen, while Wendy helpfully climbed all over her Auntie Michelle as she was being waxed.

The place was in a heck of a state the next day. Michelle went to work, but sent Richard round to look for her handbag, and hungover though he was, he stayed and helped me to clean up. Thanks, Richard. It was very nice of you and it was a tremendous help. Both my energy levels and my morale were low.

Tonight I used my new microwave for the first time. I did a Rice Pudding for Wendy for tomorrow. I hope it tastes OK. It looks OK so I'm hoping for the best. It is always a bit trying getting to know a new oven because they are all different. Even identical models from the same manufacturer are different so a new oven is always a learning curve.

Lisa is coming to cut my hair tomorrow, thank God. I hadn't been able to get hold of her but she had been in Egypt on holiday with her parents. I'm looking forward to it as my hair is in a dreadful state.
