Not a nut but the ring off the bottom of a wet glass. Water absorbed into the open unvarnished oak grain. A temporary signature that will soon dry.
Food and drink finished, I abandoned it to its quiet fate of invisibility. Evaporated, gone.

Phone numbers
How do I arrange transport to a hospital appointment?
Rang the doctors.. Ring 01……..
I rang 01…….this is not the right number, we don’t cover that area. Ring 02……
So I rang 02….for A dial 1, for B dial 2 for C dial 3 etc…
Selected 3…..yes we can help but we don’t transport people in the afternoon. Please try and rearrange your appointment.
What number do I ring? 04……
Rang 04……..for blah you need to ring 05……
Patience running out…
Rang 05……for blah press 1, for blah blah press 2….
Pressed 2, you are number 6 in the queue. We are extremely busy and it may take up to 45 minutes to answer your call, if you are on hold for longer than that you may be cut off….
You are number 3 in the queue…. You are number 1 in the queue.
Good afternoon, how can I help? My appointment is on Wednesday afternoon but transport don’t do late afternoon appointments as they might not be able to take me home.
OK let’s rearrange that. I have an appointment for eight weeks time?
I might be better by then.
I can offer you one tomorrow but transport might not be able to arrange things at short notice.
I’ll have the eight week one but I might not need transport by then.
Tried ringing transport 05…….
Ten minutes later… I’ll try in the morning!
Little ring
Not again! This silly little ring just fell off again. My fingers on my right hand must be getting thinner (my left always feels swollen), it means when I wash my hands the ring can slide off. Today it ended up in the washing up bowl. You will say take it off? But if I do I might not remember where I put it!
I think I will buy a slightly smaller ring to hold it in place, or maybe discard it completely. It’s only a cheap copper thing with a blue bead, but it was a gift from a friend and I like it.
From bad to worse?
Not this one…
But while I was having tea tonight I realised one of my rings was missing. One hubby had given me on our anniversary a few years ago. I’d had to wait for it because the one in the shop was a size too big. I eventually got it, gold with some diamond chips.
I suddenly looked down at my hand and felt something was missing. I did a double take and squinted, not realising it was gone. Just thinking it had shrunk….?
Searching, in bins, no, going through the recycling, no, but it must have slid off. I’ve lost a bit more weight and all my rings are getting loose. In the pedal bin, no, in the kitchen, on the floor? No…. Panic, where was it. Coat pockets, no, dressing gown pocket? No. Another bad thing today… Looked on the floor and swept up. No. Can’t vacuum incase it gets sucked up.
I remember a senior manager getting some students to search for her diamond ring through full vacuum cleaner bags! That was years ago.
Oh where are you? Handbag, got a torch… A GLINT of GOLD!
Oh great!!! I won’t need to contact the places we visited, or our insurance.
Where is it now? On my other little finger, crammed between two other ones. Hopefully safe now.
Glass pieces done
One and eight are my hubbies pieces, the rest are mine. Out of the kiln at Art Glass Lounge. I did them at a workshop. Some are being turned into necklaces, some brooches and a couple will be attached to rings. I’m collecting them tomorrow. I’ve really enjoyed learning such a simple technique of layering glass to get a sparkling result. Can’t wait to collect the finished pieces. I will take a photo of them when I get them.
Usk day 35, digital close up
#uskstoke
Day 35 and the challenge was to draw a close up. Someone drew a necklace so I decided to draw one of my rings. The green tub is meant to be a plastic pencil sharpener. It was quite reflective and you could see the ring mirrored in it. I actually drew both objects on top of the tablet, so the light was shining up . Its a different method to what I normally do, but I want to try and get some skill back doing this kind of thing.
