On this wet morning I made a good start on ironing my shirts, eventually finding myself running out of steam,
so Jackie finished the task after lunch, while my body reminded me that this is only the second day after my BCG vaccination instillation.
When I had recovered I set about culling pictures and failed at that, too. This is because I simply added to my collection. Only today’s header had already been included, and I managed to omit just one of the set I had produced in September 1995 of Newark Caribbean Club’s annual float, the theme of which is even more relevant today.
Our late friend Frank, coincidentally Errol’s uncle, is seen setting up the carnival creation, much of which was designed by our daughter, Becky, also a member.
This is a selection of her paintings adorning the vehicle,
and this her design for the T-shirts.
This evening we dined on tasty roast chicken; sage and onion stuffing; meaty gravy; crisp roast potatoes; firm carrots, cauliflower, and broccoli; with which I drank more of the Malbec.
I really enjoyed your daughter Becky’s drawings for the carnival!
Thank you so much, Luisa
You are so very welcome my dear Derrick!
It’s my pleasure as always
Lovely photos! Dinner sounds so delicious, guys. Mmm 😋
I love all the Peace images!!
Thank you so m much, Liz
You’re welcome, Derrick.
Oh Derrick, you reminded of my laundry 😁. Lovely creations.
Our world currently needs as many reminders of the importance of peace that we can get. Thank you for the beautiful images.
Much appreciated, Donna
The ever-elusive peace we all crave is evidneced in Becky’s work.I’m sorry you’re still feeling low, but its certainly understandable. How many more treatments, Derrick?
One next week; then three week cycle repeated every three months for the rest of the year. Thank you very much, Alys.
Apologies for all those typos. I’m sorry to hear the treatments will drag on. If I’m reading correctly, then you’ll have a break from March through May, a nice time of year to be feeling more yourself.
Bravo, Derrick. And great assist, Jackie. Becky has a real talent for drawing. Dinner sounds good again. We really need Peace right now, but too many countries seem more interested in reinventing the age of Imperialism.
Thank you so much, Pat
“Peace among the beasts”. I think we’ll have to wait a while for some political beasts to understand what peace is all about.
Quite so, John. Thank you very much
World Peace is very relevant in today’s argy bargy amongst world leaders.
Thank you very much, Gay XX
A fabulous float with appropriately appealing artwork by Becky …
Thank you very much, Ivor
Beautiful carnival float. Let peace begin with me.
Thank you very much, Rosaliene
You have not failed at anything. Some days are just more “productive” than. others. Peace is always a worthy endeavor. I love Becky’s artwork, especially the header picture.
Thank you so much, JoAnna
Hope tomorrow you feel better.
Thank you very much, Andy
You’re welcome.
More of this way, way less of the likes of Trump. That’s what we all need.
Indeed. Thanks very much, Gary
Hope you are feeling much better tomorrow. ❤️
Beautifully colored shirts! Yay to both you and Jackie for your team work on the ironing! 🙂
The World Peace float artwork and Becky’s shirt design…all beautiful and such a powerful message. She’s a wonderful artist! 🙂
(((HUGS))) ❤️❤️
Thank you so much fro all of us, Carolyn XX
I didn’t know Becky was an artist, Derrick. Great pictures 💜
Good for you for ironing your own shirts. I detests ironing shirts. Norm does it’s own usually but I do make an effort when he’s busy.
Thank you very much, Chrissy
Those paintings are wonderful!
Thank you very much, Sue
PS. I hope you’re feeling better today.
Getting there XX
You ran out of steam…I see what you did there 🙂 Wishing you void health and rest
Good health…strange autocorrect
That is an impressive display. Your daughter is quite talented. I was sorry to hear you were finding yourself “running out of steam” as you were doing that tedious job of ironing. Good for you for even starting it! Nasty job! But the results were lovely. God bless Jackie for finishing it!
I read a bit on BCG side effects. Not pleasant. Rest up as much as you can.
