WOYWW 854/74: Get Well Soon

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 healing prayers and gentle hugs to Neet who is poorly in hospital.

I am still working at my jigsaw desk - there has been much progress. I did make a birthday card but can't show that until next week.

A mix of prompts for my #dailyart2025 this week.

It has been a musical week. The showcase went really well last Wednesday afternoon. Saturday was the monthly SRP meeting and I think I have just about got the hang of the membership system now. Yesterday afternoon was the normal meet up of the U3a recorder group in Lichfield. I am meeting up with Eva for a walk around Trentham Gardens tomorrow which will be good exercise. Heading over to Mum's for the day on Friday too.

Stay safe and Happy WOYWW.

WOYWW 853/73: Crafting With A Difference

Another desk with a difference today. I have taken to doing jigsaws and this is the latest one ready to be sorted. We pass them round in our family and this is one that I got for Mum for her birthday last year.

I finally completed the one that was a gift from Eva a while back and which I will pass on to Mum. I bought a few at Lidl at the weekend then realised I would need a bigger board - so I have ordered one. I will then be able to work on two at once.

Eva and I took part in a workshop with Tilly Tea Dance on Saturday and this was the result. It was good to meet up with Twiglet too, although if I had known it was her birthday the following day I would have brought a card!

I met up with a group of retired former colleagues yesterday lunchtime from my very first teaching job. I hadn't seen most of them for nearly 30 years so it was really good to catch up.

Later today I am heading to Lichfield for the U3a showcase. It is the first time I have been able to play for this as previous years I was at work. I love retirement.

Stay safe everyone and Happy WOYWW.
