We need more benches.

I have been wearing this t-shirt, very appropriate don't you think. 😛
I knocked up this short video the other day. Now I am a bit older I need to sit down more often. A church with a bench is perfect. We need more benches for us oldies. 
This morning I felt a bit chilly, so I knocked up a pan of soup for lunch. Broccoli, carrot, and rice. Chuck in some spices and zap it with a stick blender. I have just finished the second portion for my dinner. 
A bit more added to the mandala. I wanted a wire hoop to go around the edge of the circles. Didn't have any wire, so I made the hoop. I cut the top off a cardboard popcorn tub. Adjusted the size to fit exactly. Wrapped it in wool. Perfect. 

Billy dog walk done tonight. 
Thanks for popping in. Toodle pip.   ilona

  1. We recently went to an out of town shopping centre on the edge of York. I was in a shop with my husband when I started feeling dizzy and went outside to find a bench. There was nowhere to sit down anywhere. I ended up perched on the stones surrounding a flower bed, which were all of about 8 inches high. There were lots of elderly people wandering around, a lot older than me, but the only seats were in coffee shops. Clearly if you are not actively spending you are not welcome.

    1. This is a real problem Tracy. I have noticed a lack of benches where they are most needed. I think they are being removed, because heavens above, people may need to sit down. Anti social behavior has a lot to answer for. They spoil it for the rest of us.
