WOYWW 857/77: Some Down Time

Welcome to the weekly sharing of desks which is WOYWW (What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday?), the brainchild of Julia, who kindly entrusted it to me to continue after the first 15 years of togetherness.  Please feel free to link up your desk and visit others' - we are a friendly bunch. 

Sending Neet well wishes and continued healing hugs.

My desk shows the program from Riverdance - a spectacular show, a couple of items that I have made recently using some of the backgrounds I made at the Clarity summer retreats, and the parchment pages left over from my last lot of sample making. 




A never forgotten experience when I was 18 and at university.



As you can see, I finally finished the Harry Potter puzzle.  It is now back in the box to pass onto Mum.
Eva and I are meeting for an early walk tomorrow, followed by breakfast at Trentham Gardens.  Mum and I are spending our Friday together as usual and on Saturday it is #1 son's birthday.  Next week I will be packing for the journey down to Kent for the Clarity Open Days so I am enjoying a little down time in the meantime.

Stay safe and Happy WOYWW.

You are busier after retirement than ever, it seems, it sounds like it’s just more fun stuff. I bet the Clarity day will be fab. The sketches continue to amaze me! Happy WOYWW

Parachuting? I'd be too scared to jump. Enjoy your time in Kent - sounds like fun. I hope the rain clears for your walk, if not you can just have breakfast. πŸ˜ƒ x x Jo 🌈🌈

Fair play on finishing the jigsaw and I must admit I really like your silver birch tree design and the wording too. Hope you have a great week, sounds busy!

Good morning, Sarah.
No matter how hard I try, I can't get up early enough to post earlier in the list. LOL I think 12 is a record for me.
I'd love to see Riverdance. I took my sister to see Celtic Women once. She'd still rather see the guys. LOL
Creative Blessings & Hugs! ~ Kelly #12

The dancers of Riverdance always amaze me, especially when they do those heel clicks mid air…they must be supernatural, that’s all I’m saying! Have fun with Eva and your mum over the next couple of days, there’s nothing wrong with allowing yourself a bit of downtime, enjoy!
Hugs LLJ 3 xx

So proud of you for getting those Trump jabs in as much as you can! My favourite today is "toddler"! Riverdance must have been spectacular! I think we saw a version of it many years ago and it was very good. It's amazing what those dancers can do! Have fun with Eva and your Mum! πŸ‚Lindart#13
