Richard was on his own today. He spent time
continuing to fit the bedroom wardrobe, concentrating on trimming, on the rails, and on the handles.
The first of the above images includes him
working on the safer step he has built to create an easier drop from the former dressing room to the bedroom.
This afternoon Jackie and I visited the Milford G.P. surgery where we received our Covid booster vaccinations.
Dark indigo clouds loomed over the Isle of White, The Needles, and the lighthouse beside which the Jesus sunbeams penetrated the canopy.
This evening we dined at Lal Quilla where the service and atmosphere was as friendly as ever, despite the fact that with the staff all masked I can never be sure whether I know them or not. My main course was the hot, sweet, and sour Chicken Jaljala while Jackie’s was the milder Chicken Boona. We shared pilau rice, and egg paratha and saag bhaji, both drinking Kingfisher.
I love the Jesus sunbeams photo!
Thanks very much, Liz. It changed so much while I was getting the camera ready that we gave up on it. A few hundred yards away it changed again so I had another go.
You’re welcome, Derrick. Your persistence paid off!
Never heard of Jesus sunbeams before. Interesting term. Good pictures
Thanks very much, Pat
Oh, aren’t those handles pretty!
They really are. I’m pleased you like them, Laurie. Thank you very much
Great job, it’s going to look great. Send him over to my house when he is done 🙂
Thanks a lot, Bridget. I’ll let him know 🙂
It sounds like a good day, Derrick. The “Jesus Beams” photo is beautiful. Congratulations on getting your boosters.
Thank you very much, Merril
A safer step is a very practicle initiative Derrick ..and the wardrobe is looking great ..
Thanks very much, Ivor. We had been using an old breeze block before.
I’m glad you got your boosters, Derrick. I had mine a couple months ago with no reaction. The “Jesus Beams” are gorgeous!
Thank you very much, Jill. No after effects for us, either.
I am pleased that you have got your booster. I hope that it has no side effects.
None for either of us, Tootlepedal. Thanks a lot.
Great smile you grabbed with the step in it
And dinner out sounds delish
Thanks very much, Yvette. Richard now wonders what I said to him to get that smile,
😊
Richard’s work is all looking good, Derrick and Jackie! I am glad to hear you got your boosters, too, and enjoy a good meal out. 🙂
Thank you so much from us both, Lavinia
Gorgeous photos!
Thank you very much, Ribana
Those sea shots are so striking.
Thanks very much, Gary
Things are changing for good. Covid boosters are becoming a reality now, all thanks to the Madarins of the Muddle Kingdom. Sea photos are great. They are notoriously difficult to capture.
Thank you so much, Uma
Lovely craftsmanship.
We’ll be having our boosters soon. Just waiting for an appointment.
Thanks very much, Chrissy.
Cool Jesus beams photo. It has an interesting overall symmetry and with a well defined horizon giving the illusion the end of the earth.
Thank you very much, JoAnna. I chose that shot in preference to a close-up.
My dad was a carpenter, so I love to watch carpenters at work. The handles on the wardrobe are very graceful. Good idea to get your boosters. I felt more confident after I got mine.
Thanks very much, Nicki. I’ll let Richard know.
Booster shots are being talked about here, but not yet a reality – perhaps next year. It is pleasing to know that you both not only got out to enjoy some interesting scenery, but ‘out-out’ to enjoy someone else’s cooking.
So right, Anne. Thank you very much. And I hope you get your booster in good time.
The wardrobe is looking fab
Thanks a lot, Sheree
Wonderful work, Richard…even wonderful-er smile! 🙂
Love the wardrobe handles!
Glad you got boosted! We got boosted last week! I had a sore arm for 2 days. Hubby felt no ill effects at all. 🙂
Gorgeous sky show! In that last photo…I always called such sky scenes Jesus Is Coming Now clouds! 😉
(((HUGS))) 🙂
Thank you very much, Carolyn. I trust your arm is fine now. X
Yes, my arm was not sore anymore after just 48 hours. 🙂 Well worth it. 🙂
1. I love the twisted wooden handles. 2 The dramatic Isle of White photographs cannot be bested.
Thank you doubly, John.
It’s nice to see that honest craftsmen still survive. Finding one in a city can be quite a task!
Yes, I agree, John. Thanks very much
I read this earlier and was certain I’d commented! I must learn the difference between thinking of a comment and typing it! 😁
Richard looks very happy at his work and the wardrobes are looking good.
Sophie once did a lovely drawing for my RE lesson of Jesus sunbeams, her interpretation of the ascension. I’m glad you included the photo.
That is a good piece of thinking from Sophie. We can’t even be sure we’ve ever said anything we have thought about saying. Thanks a lot, Sue
With Jackie’s smile and now Richard’s smile lighting up the blog, Derrick, we are very lucky followers. Who can help but to smile back in return! Glad you’ve had your boosters. My other half had his today, I have a wait a few more weeks.
Thank you very much, Sandra.
Such beautiful photos, Derrick. Peace and serene.
Thank you very much, Eugi
Glad you got your boosters! Wardrobe is looking lovely. The handles are beautiful! Have a wonderful weekend! <3 Sending love your way! <3
Thank you very much, Jan. X
I like those handles – gives me some ideas for our own cabinet redos!
Thanks very much, Barbara. They are so elegant
Ominous photos of the clouds, but the sunbeams bring hope. I didn’t know those were called Jesus sunbeams. Why?
Symbolic of Christ’s blessings, shown as beams of light, I think, Dolly. Thanks very much
My pleasure, Derrick, and I thank you for explaining.
Congrats on the booster shots! I am very much enjoying the work done in your home. Thank you for showing new shots each day.
And thank you for reading and commenting, Crystal
