Day Out Yesterday

Yesterday I had a lovely time as I went with Christine to Forde Abbey, which had been started in the 12th century, and is still live in now. Sadly as it's privately owned no photography was allowed indoors, and my camera finger itched, but I was a good girl.

However as you can see, we were allowed to walk and enjoy the gardens -

So, Now You Know

... Why I wasn't around yesterday.  Christine was early-ish, and with an hour's drive there, then lots of wandering, it was a long, but lovely day.  So it was a good reason to not pop into LJ!

I had aimed to be here yesterday as I wanted to wish you a Happy World Giraffe Day

Today I have been into Exeter as I needed to pick up a couple of things for Tim's birthday ... I am going there on Monday so we can celebrate our birthdays.  We always manage to meet up, usually on my birthday as by the time it's Tim's 6 days later they are on holiday.  They go to the same flat in Cornwall, that they have been going to for 12 - 14 years.  It's lovely there, I know, but I prefer to go to different locations if I can.  After all, there's a lot of the world to explore.

Now, as ever, I won't be around tomorrow being Sunday, so ...



21. Can you do the 'downward dog' pose on International Yoga Day?
I can (I think) as I used to occasionally do it when I was at gym classes, but wouldn't want to do it as it always pulled on my back injury.

22. International Being You Day - a day to celebrate our differences, and our unique qualities. Do you have a unique quality you'd like to celebrate today?
I don't know, I think I am slightly mad, anyway. However I do quite like who I am, most of the time, anyway.

23. Board games - yay or nay? What's your favourite, or the one that fills you with horror at the memory of playing?
yay ... although not really a fan of Monopoly or Cleudo ... but do enjoy others.




Right, let's get this done and posted.

I will see you Monday x
