Had a lovely time at the pantomime on Saturday for P's birthday and then a good meal at a local Italian restaurant courtesy of Ben. Yesterday was our usual Elsie/Roxy day - which went well, but with few photo opportunities.

This is Roxy, the horse, rearing. Obviously getting in as much practice as she can since she wants to be a horse when she grows up!

 

 

My model and I tried to find time for our shoot for already a few months. Finally we made it, but we couldn't choose any other light situation than the harsh midday sun. So I tried to apply all my knowledge I got from shooting in natural light, after having watched Fstoppers' tutorials and behind the scene videos.

 

Actually, I like shooting in those light conditions, as it adds way more punch, drama and definition!

After school, a cuddle for Roxy. Roxy has a lovely temperament and often an expression like this will settle back into peace and not become a . . . Roxy doesn't seem to cry, she has a high pitch squawk which is bird--like.

Roxy needed a little persuading to have her photo taken - she took me out into the garden which was fortuitous because it started to rain and we were able to bring the washing in, even before Abby yelled from the loft that it was raining! And so we landed up in the kitchen and then by the front door. She was her usual whirlwind self.

Roxy in repose . . . like Elsie she looks quite sad when she is still . . . but in fact we had a good morning

we picked up Roxy from school (Elsie has a two week half term and she was staying with a friend). Roxy decided she'd like her photo taken doing aerial splits on the equipement in the garden. I did warn her that her school uniform was frevealing flying skirt and knickers . . . thus they will not be appearing here. Stella was quite accommodting as she jumped about tugging on Roxy's skirt, although Roxy told her to stop!

Although still a little under par, Roxy has recovered well from her chicken pox - only a mild dose.

On Tuesday we are going to Glouceste to visit my brother and Peter's sister and partner and having and evening meal with them . . .

Roxy had changed in the 6 months since we had seen her last, but at the same time she was just as essentially Roxy!

I had my first Roxy day today. Abby is still breastfeeding, so this means that I entertain Roxy when she's awake and when she starts to fidget with her eyes try to help her go to sleep. Abby, in the meantime, works up in her attic studio. Roxy had 3 jabs yesterday, was a little grumpy today, but all in all she seemed to respond to the strange woman with specs!

 

So far I have maintained a distance from Roxy, because of sensitivity for Elsie. Now I'm embarking on the best of both worlds . . . wish me luck when they collide!

wrong camera, right subject

 

for the next few weeks my Elsie and Roxy days are topsy turvy. Abby has a large design project in progress and my garden is also in progress.

Both Elsie and Roxy are doing gymnastics and aerial this year. Elsie is doing PE as an O level subject. Roxy takes affter Elsie in treating all the movements very seriously - and like Elsie, she is graceful too.

Abby said that Ben had dressed Roxy and had put her dress on back to front (as seen in pic) . . . which is now a new baby fashion, because I turned the dress round after her lunch, which meant the front of her dress was then clean for the afternoon. Good, eh?

 

I have a cold and have had a Bourbon to make me temporarily better. The decorating is finished and looks great - despite the fretting builder who said the sun hadn't shone today. And what has that to do with it? Well, apparently it will show up any little imperfection which can then be put right. I jest not. What a great man! Had a lovely day with Roxy, despite her teething. I have taught her alliterations - biting bunny's bottom badly . . . a side effect of teething . . .

Originally built as an Opera House in 1906, the Roxy Theatre in Neepawa MB has seen it's share of activity and change throughout the years. No longer viable as just a theater and in bad need of repair, the residents of Neepawa banded together in late 80's to purchase and restore the facility. Community owned and volunteer operated is, what I believe, the real success story behind this grand old structure.

 

And you might have guessed, as a teenager, I watched many shows from the balcony of this fine theatre.

Today Roxy initiated the beginnings of role play. And like Elsie's it has started off based on Nursery. Time for you to sleep, Grangran, she said. I had a bad night last night and I thought - how nice. Cushions were placed on the rug and I lay down and was covered with a blanket and given a little Miffy to cuddle. This is good, I thought. But then, after 2 minutes my nap was over - Get Up, Grangran. It's time to stand up!

 

I am not being a very good contact at the moment - lots of things happening in the kitchen that I need to be thinking about. Peter and I are beginning to be pleased we don't speak Bulgarian - I'm not sure I want to know what is being said! Before I left this morning I insisted on the original measurements being adhered to - because we want to be able to open the oven and take out pans without climbing in because there is no room to stand in front of it! (I know Elsie thinks I'm a witch, but that is ridiculous!)

 

Oh, and to top it all, the not very old cheap boiler the people before put in a few months before they moved has packed up. Tomorrow our friendly boiler people whom we have used for years are installing a new one as it makes no sense to spend hundreds of pounds trying to figure why this one keeps leaking and going wrong. We could have done without this at the moment.

I took a few pics of Roxy after school cuddling Biscuit her cuddly dog, but she was tired and she looked it. This was taken after Peter's cottage pie and Abby's apple and balckberry crumble which must have provided a burst of energy. I don't think i'd recommend doing this after a meal, but it had no ill effects!

 

We are going to Whitstable tomorrow for a few days - to stay in one of the fisherman's huts and see friends.

 

Christopher seems to be pretty stable in Cirencester rehab ward - doing physiotherapy - I think he'll be there for a couple of weeks or so. Today he was walking with a frame with two people helping him, but it was good news he was off the hoist. I think lack of confidence as much as building muscle tone will be the major tasks. . . . back soon

we went to east London yesterday to celebrate belatedly with Roxy. We had been steered towards a new movable Barbie with accesories - something I would have to be steered towards as I don't like dolls, Barbies, clowns etc . . . but do like animals and bears like Edward. However, back to Roxy, she was very pleased and because the accesories were seaside oriented she put her bikini on and got in the tin tub in the garden to play with them. Sit with me, Grangran - I don't want to be on my own.

Leeton, NSW

 

This heritage listed art deco theatre was opened on 7 April 1930 purely for use as a cinema. In 1933 a stage was added and it was officially opened by Australia's most famous and internationally celebrated singer of that time, Gladys Moncrief, known affectionately as "Our Glad".

 

Since 1933 the theatre has operated continuously providing both film and live entertainment to residents of Leeton and the surrounding area. The Roxy film screen is one of the largest roll-up mechanized screens in Australia measuring approximately 16 metres wide by 8 metres high.

I am current;y mastering a new Ipad which is replacing the one I have been using since 2013 - an old faithful friend - since I read The Guardian on it, watch the news and other tv on it, listen to talking books on it, take some photos with it, especially during lockdown on Facetime, do my brother's shopping on it, and ours, use it for all sorts of information - it has become a bit of lifeline since my eyesight has worsened and it is very user friendly since I am able to enlargen the print size. But just before lockdown the on/off button cracked which was a bit worrying, but it has been fine over the two lockdowns . . . and then, last week, Siri went mad . . . popping up to interrupt everything literally all the time. I managed to outfox it, by getting into settings before an interruption and turning Siri off . . . but the lingering thought remains that the on/off button and Siri are closely connected and maybe this was the beginning of the end and it was time time to get a new one.

 

And now I have a new one and I am just hopeless trying to master all the new things. I have a session booked with an Apple operative tomorrow afternoon - Peter is going to sit in in case he starts talking in language I don't understand! Give me a trowel any day!!

 

Flickr has set this as restricted. I really don't know why.

 

I have been in touch with the powers that be, and have changed this picture back to safe.

The light was poor and neither Roxy nor I are very good at being absolutely still. So this is as good as it got.
