Hello there, I hope you’ve had a good week! March already…. who would’ve thought that?! Here’s this week’s Sunday Sevens…
Plane spotting
Last Sunday we had a football match to watch involving one of the Little Postcards. The football pitch they play on is right next to the runway and so plane spotting is a natural side show. It always amazes me that the planes come so close to where we are. Little did we know that just 24 hours later some poor souls would get the fright of their lives as they attempted to land st Gib… if you saw the news on Monday, you’ll know exactly what I mean.
A new project
Last week I was complaining that I haven’t done any ‘fun’ crafting lately as I’ve been too busy doing other stuff. So rather than keep moaning, last Sunday night I picked up my bag of odds and ends and set about granny-square making. It’ll be s long time before I can cover a double bed with it, but it’s been fun…
Stroll at dusk
On Monday evening, after the crazy winds that disrupted air travel had subsided, I headed out for a lovely evening stroll.
It was lovely to see buildings which I usually only see in the daytime lit up so beautifully.
Dressmaking class
The sleeves are on… and they’re staying on this time!
A jazzy underpass
The decoration of this underpass close to the Alameda Gardens looks like it’s almost finished. I rather like it.
Watercolour class
Now that I’ve finished my Church ceiling painting, I fancied freesias this week at my painting class. The wild freesias are out in abundance in Gibraltar at the moment…
Bunny update…
Diamond’s been a bit naughty this week. I know he’s a bunny and bunnies like to chew stuff but I was rather miffed with his nibbling this week. The bottom of his enclosure was covered with an old Laura Ashley spotted plastic tablecloth (the type of fabric/plastic used for wipe clean aprons) it worked pretty well for keeping the floor tiles underneath clean. But bunny decided he liked to nibble holes in it. He doesn’t seem to ingest the bits of table cloth as he leaves Laura Ashley confetti all over the bottom of his cage.
Over time the tablecloth was looking rather messy and horrible, so this week I threw caution to the wind, threw away the old tablecloth and bought a brand spanking new one. It looked lovely, and lasted less than 12 hours. The tablecloth confetti is back… naughty Diamond.
Thanks for stopping by, that’s all from Sunday Sevens for this week. I hope you have a good one!
I’m linking with Natalie from Threads and Bobbins for this weekly blog series.
Wild Freesias!!!! Oh my! Do they fill the air with that gorgeous scent?
Love your painitng – will you frame it?
The painted Underpass is wonderful – I’d love to see more of this sort of street art all over our towns and cities.
I think the freesias will probably smell more in the evening as that’s when pale flowers let off their perfume to attract insects I think?! But I haven’t been by any at that time of day. If you get close to them and give them a sniff though, they are lovely!
The painting is framed and gifted today as a matter of fact as it was painted to mark my parents’ golden wedding anniversary which is today. I will share a picture of the finished piece on this week’s Sunday Sevens.
The street art is so uplifting isn’t it? Far better than a dingy passageway.
Crumbs! I just looked up the footage of the attempt to land on Gib – I’m so glad I wasn’t on that plane!
Must have been a hairy scary moment for the pilot as well as the passengers!
I know it was terrifying to watch. When I first saw the video I actually thought it was fake. I was down near the airport that morning and watched the plane before this one take off and it was blowing a gale. Properly frightening stuff…
