For some years now I have been involved in Twin Research Studies, and I had another invitation to take part in one on Monday covering Ageing and Mental Health.
it was a really interesting day, and the interviewer was a delightful lady, who was very patient with my failing memory of dates and events.
I did get so play with blocks and puzzles, tasks which I think I performed ok, so maybe that means I will do very well in my second childhood. Sorry no photos of me doing that as we were in a Government building.
Another friend had come to visit from Brisbane on Friday, so I travelled back in the bus with her on sunday, and stayed with them overnight. My friend is not a craftsperson, but she loves to shop, so I have no photos of that either because we were too busy shopping.
Just after dinner on Sunday night, there was a thump on the roof, which turned out to be their friendly possum who they feed every night with fruit slices. i did take a photo of it, but was too freaked out to take a photo of the huge spider that crawled up onto the bed I was to sleep in so can't show photos of that either.....besides he was too close to where the camera was as well.....and yes he did get dispatched to spider heaven.

ReplyDeleteHello Shirley, Your possum looks sorta like our raccoon. Your blackwork is sooooo very lovely. You are a stitching master. I have never tried this kind of work before but you tempt me. VBG Have a great day. Hugs Judy
ReplyDeleteHe is cute, the possum, an animal we do not have in Europe. You shot a great photo
ReplyDeletePossums are so cute when they are in trees, not so much if they decide to take up residence in your roof cavity..........LOL..... Seriously, it's lovely to see one, as we don't see them much here anymore, not enough trees close to the houses.
ReplyDeleteInteresting to hear about your 'twin study'. Hope you enjoyed playing blocks and puzzles.
So sorry to hear about the spider episode. I am not scared stiff of them but would rather they stay outside!!
I agree with Linda, possums are cute in trees, but thundering over the roof at night with hobnailed boots.........DEFINITELY NO. Actually we haven't had much possum activity since we lost our large tree last year! Love your blackwork embroidery. Cheers
ReplyDeleteHi Shirley,

Hugs and Smiles,

Hi, Shirley. Enjoyed your Memory Lane posts and loved the teddy bear. Do you have more? Oh, please show them! I'm re-doing a small teddy by adding patches on top of his worn fur. So I really liked your teddy with all the embellishments--boggles the mind!
