Fiona's Quiet Life

since my brother and younger daugh­ter had to phone me to find out what i was up too these days i thought i had bet­ter update the log.

came back from Den­mark 10 days ago and Cameron came to stay with me while his par­ents were in Ver­ona at the opera in the sear­ing heat. we toured all of Fife on one day and all of Ayrshire on another, hav­ing fish and chips in the world fam­ous chip­pie in Anstruther. we learned to make felt on one of the days, my felt art­work is now framed and on the wall. and we made a won­der­ful drink with fresh rasp­ber­ries and lem­ons and picked eld­er­flowers to make cor­dial. it is yummy.

today was great, it was the first day of the glas­gow River Fest­ival, i was feel­ing tired this morn­ing due to some heavy garden­ing yes­ter­day and would have been happy to vegit­ate in front of this laptop but thought that if i went out it would wake me up and it did. there was all sorts of things to do and i did them all includ­ing get­ting into the sci­ence cen­ter at the reduced price of £2, was about to go up the tower when they closed it because of the wind.….……maybe tomorrow.….….AND the whole thing was free.the weather was lovely and thou­sands of gla­swee­gions turned up.

One of these pictures.….not the one con­tain­ing beer.….is of a vik­ing burial site, note the boat shape of the grave. We have popped back into Aalborg.…..and into range of broadband.…..for half an hour , so i am vet­ting the 912 spam in my spam fil­ter and weed­ing out the other 70 that got through into my emails.

the weather here in /denmark is superb, we have been to gal­ler­ies where i have had to res­ist beau­ti­fully designed jew­elry, ceram­ics and paintings.….well i did get a small thing or two in the ceram­ics place from the artist that i bought from last year. we have walked for miles , we have been to a vik­ing mar­ket, where i did buy a small brace­let made from bronze, sil­ver and oxid­ised sil­ver, would have loved the lar­ger one but even i could work out that 1000 Kroner was more than £100 so was a bit much for a souvenir, we also were given free tick­ets to a won­der­ful hol­i­day play area, as it costs £20 per per­son per day were were pleased to go free, it was huge fun, if i can find the web site for it i will put it on, it is called farup­so­m­mer­land i think.there will be pho­tos to fol­low when i have crunched them all own to fit.
we have BBQ ed every night yum.
ok off back to the sand dunes now
