Fiona's Quiet Life

that photo is not about this blog , i just hap­pen to like it , it was a watch tower in the middle of the Nubian desert.

for two days i tried, i took it to bits as much as i could, i tried a wee trol­ley, i tried the thing i use to move flag­stones about the garden, i built a ramp in and out of the french win­dows of the room .….……i was chan­ging the use of a small room to a din­ing room and turn­ing the din­ing room into a morn­ing room/library/ work room.…it is the room with the real fire place and i had a lot of logs to burn and it is still freezing.…..literally.….…in my bit of Glas­gow. any­way. could i shift the bed settee, no i couldn’t, i got the din­ing room table , the chairs and the side­board moved all by myself but when , this morn­ing him upstairs phoned down to see if i had a bit of wire i said “help” and help he did, after tak­ing it to bits even more we got it out through the french win­dows and in thor­ough the back door.….…the door­way to the new din­ing room is very narrow.….…..it too 3 hours …though there was a break for cof­fee while we worked out a game plan, and a break for fruit tea while we con­tem­plated put­ting it all back together. but it is done and looks good. and i have the Christ­mas tree par­tially decorated.….….well the wee lights are on it cos i needed cheer­ing up

but my back has seized up, it was fine till i reached past the tree to draw the cur­tains, now i dare not move and am propped up with cushions.

tomor­row even­ing the cam­era club is des­cend­ing on George sq, Glas­gow to take pho­tos of the ice rink and fun fair and to drink mulled wine, i hope to go too if i can move.

i want to go to Green­land, a lady gave a talk on it at the cam­era club last week it looked fantastic.
