Unlucky February, 10.2.2025.

 Well it's been unlucky February for me up to now, just hope this trend won't carry on now.

Firstly one of my front upper teeth fell out of my dentures, so it was out with the Gorilla super glue and it's gone back perfect, being an old modeller helps I suppose.

Then my car packed up and with all the cars in those flats in Stockport flooded out I've not been able to get into the garage of my choice until the 13th, (hope that's not a bad omen). but luckily my mate and next door neighbour goes' to the same cafés we do so I've been able to keep my outing the same!. 

I've been jigsaw puzzling the past week instead of out with the camera, the puzzle mentioned in my last post as seemingly impossible? well I've done it.

 

I've finished, only due to the fact that it was a Chinese puzzle and they mostly have letters on the back, ie A.B.C.D so gives one some idea!. 

Then I started a puzzle (500 pieces) that a good friend in Cornwall had had made from one of the pictures from my calendar into a puzzle using Snapfish.

Not quite the right colours but still a nice birthday surprise. 

This turned out to be a bit more of a challenge , as a lot of similar colours and no letters on the back.  

My friend Jean said I have some frames at home, send me the measurements, which I did and she came up with a frame I'd given her years ago, and would you believe it it was a perfect fit, couldn't have been better if I'd had it made, my luck might be changing!.  

Not a very good photo but the best possible, with the light on the stairs 

With some of my other favourite pictures I've taken in the past.

Another I've framed in the past, I like clowns, not everyone doe's.

It is strange but I've driven past this tree a thousand times but never noticed it before, (eyes on the road) but with my mate driving there it was whilst we were stopped at the traffic lights.

As you can see the tree has wrapped itself round the railings!, in the back ground there, is the carpark for Taylors Glass on Reddish Lane, Stockport.

The new light I bought for Alfies box 

 mentioned in the previous post seems to be ok with the switch incorporated into the clamp, so might be a bit more sturdy.

Yesterday was looking out of the back bedroom window and the squirrel proof bird feeder which was quite expensive and hung there for weeks with no birds using it, and there was a Goldfinch on it! and another on the washing line that used it too, Over the moon that the goldfinches are back!.

Well hope the change in luck continues when I take the car into the garage on Thursday, fingers crossed.

Thanking all my friends for the car lifts over the past week and into this week.

One of my friends from Reddish Vale photographers is in hospital at the MRI and has had a 14 hour operation on his jaw for the big C and bone cut out and a piece from his leg put in!, and I'm worried about a car!!.
