As I mentioned last week, Friday was our grand-daughter's first birthday, so I went round to visit her in the morning. She loves the Busy Book that I bought for her, but she is also very happy sitting on her walk and ride vehicle, or rolling around in her baby ball pot.
One thing we can say about the weather this week is 'Changeable'. You never know what you are going to wake up too. On Monday the park looked like this all day,
On Tuesday it looked like this.
Everything was golden in the sun shine and I spotted this little fellow sitting right by an elderly lady who was feeding the squirrels. But with all the rain, the grass is covered in worm casts so there is no shortage of food for him yet.
On Sunday morning we walked across the park for the Remembrance day service that takes place at the main park gates. It was a beautiful day, sunny and warm - unlike last year when it rained. All the services were represented in the march past, including the Scouts, Cubs and Beavers. They looked so tiny, but it seems no time since some of our boys marched with them. The local band played familiar tunes to keep them moving together.
I have been busy this week continuing to test out my cutter. I did engrave a pair of slate coasters for Chris and I to use at the table. I buy the blank coasters from Amazon.
But something else I wanted to make proved more of a challenge. However, yesterday I spent all day passing files between the cutter software, my silhouette software and Adobe photoshop and eventually got each element into a form that the laser would recognise. Next I have to make everything the same size and then print and cut them. It is only a simple desk calendar but I wanted to make it and couldn't see why the machine wouldn't recognise it in the form I bought and downloaded. But it is ready now - I think, so it was a day well spent.
Now I must practice some music for our choir rehearsal tomorrow.
