Tea & Leaf Tuesday....

It's feeling a bit more like a "normal" Tuesday today....

...because the pills have helped me to get some sleep...

...so I'm packing my bag for choir tonight.

I've missed FOUR WEEKS with my bonkers little group...

...and I'll be glad to see them again!

Bloke bought me a "Bouquet of Flowers" for Christmas...

...in a tiny tin with "Kusmi" on it...

...and that's what is in my Portmeirion tea cup today.

Flowery (of course) and delicious...

...and making me feel ever-such-a-bit spoiled.



On the leaf is another little crocheted pot...



..made in creamy-white cotton and linen mix that was then dip-dyed yellow/orange/turquoise...
 



...beaded and finally stiffened with acrylic medium.

Looks and feels like a little Mexican basket :-)

..tired out on a Tuesday!!

..just managed to sit down with a cup of Earl Grey after being on the go since 10 am this morning!

It's choir tonight....

...and we have a concert on the 3rd of December....

...so today I've sorted 17 copies of a 47 page booklet....

...with Christmas, New Year and Midwinter songs....

...dating from the 15th century up to now...

...along with various readings and run lists.


The car has duly been loaded-up with mega-heavy digital piano...

...three types of large hand-drums...

...one of which has bells all around the inside of the rim, so it sounds like we've got Santa's sleigh in the back....

..various recorders....tambourines...

...and a bowed psaltery!!!


It was a chip-shop jobby for lunch...

...and a very quick shower after loading up the car.

Now...

..I'm putting my feet up for five minutes...

...with tea and some chocolates....

..and charging the camera to take some photos to post tomorrow :-o



See you then....
