Wow, It Feels Wrong

[debris4spike]

Today is a Saturday ... and the sun is shining. That somehow feels very wrong!!!! However it is lovely - I have 2 loads of washing on the line, hav walked to the shop to pick up a few things (and bumped into a a friend, so good to catch up with him.

Yesterday was busy as I was doing a half day of training for a job that I am doing over the next few weeks. ironically, for all that it annoyed me, I shall be working in a different hospital (but also very close to me) to register Bank Staff who are transferring to the national company I now work for. So the positive is that I am able to geta a few days of work ... the irony is that I hated the whole system, and now I will be doing this!!! So I am working a full day on Monday.

As you already know my plans got changed for today ... and I had thought that I would drive to Paignton as the daughter of a friend from the Church I used to go to, is being baptised. However I have decided to rest my wrist with computer work yesterday & Monday, and have a long drive ahead on Thursday, so thought I would let the arm (& ribs) rest today instead.

So, I shall also sign off here ... but as I will be busy Monday, then -



12. Created in 1996 - The Day of Silence was created to support LGBTQ youth who were consistently silenced and ignored by parents and administrators. Yearly, millions participate by staying silent for the duration of their day - communicating only with the written word, representing the silencing of LGBTQ students. Have you ever participated in this?
Didn't know this day existed.

13. International Plant Appreciation Day. Do you have houseplants? Do they thrive?
I have 6 - 8 plants ... but whether they survive or not is more luck than judgement.

14. A day to look up at the sky - do you have many planes flying over your home? Is it noisy or can you live with it?
Occasionally ... depending on the wind direction (I am about 5 miles from an airport)
We also get quite a few helicopters on their way to A&E

15. It's World Art day, and also the birthday of Leonardo da Vinci (1452) - do you have a favourite artist or sculpture whose work you would love to own?
I have quite a few of Mum's pieces, which I love
I would love to own a Canaletto of Venice.




Right, see you Tuesday x

It's lovely here as well! It's so nice to see some sunshine!

LOL, I know how you feel. I can't remember the last time we had a completely rain- or drizzle-free weekend.

Canaletto was a simply marvelous painter. I love his skies.

Sorry for the delay in answering -

we actually have a dry day forecast.

I am always amazed at the details of the people in the Canaletto's

Favorite artist is Monet.

Sadly some of his paintings are difficult for me to see, as I am colourblind, so will admit I tend to just avoid areas where his work is displayed

[deepseasiren.livejournal.com]

Well, you know how his paintings have that faded, blurry look? It's because he had bad astigmatism, and he painted as he saw things, sort of like through a haze. I thought that was interesting. What if he didn't have astigmatism? Would his art have been as famous or as well-known?

That's interesting you're color blind because it's almost always men who are.

I hadn't realised that ... maybe that's what people think when they see some of my colour choices, that they look OK for me, though!

Yes, when I was at school we had a chart that was done by the year 11s on genetics ... and for the 7 years I was there I was the only girl at the school
