Back again with another WOYWW where I am showing my desk. Saturday is Club day so I am getting things together as I have a busy week on and might not have time to get my bag all packed up if I leave it to the last minute.
Tuesday saw my chiropractic appointment cancelled owing to a bereavement with the owners but I managed to bag one with a different chiropractor and she certainly worked on the knots in my neck. She also told me to start using Tiger Balm on my neck so I got some (the red one), love the smell of it (cloves) but not sure everyone in the vicinity will. Another thing was a side sleeper pillow from Bensons Beds so that is something else I must try. Anything for this pain to lessen.
Afterwards we tried the new Indian Street Food Chain Chaiwalla, ok - but not as good as Mowgli which is definitely my favourite. (Must try the Dishoom, if I have got the name correct, recommended by my lovely niece.) So much so that I did nothing but sleep when I got home. Originally my old line manager was going to the same chiropractor today, Wednesday, so he and his wife were calling to see us on there way home. Now we are meeting up and going for a meal so that is Wednesday afternoon taken care of - guess who will be asleep again in the early evening? I'll catch up on my comments when we get back.
Thursday we are meeting up with a group of friends for another meal out, early evening and then Saturday is the class. Going from completely stay at home, nothing happening for ages to a week like this is making me feel tired just thinking about it. Gosh what a boring life I normally have. Must be old age doing it to me
I did manage to do another picture, with the aid of Jo Rice, since I blogged last week. It was all about perspective and depth. Again not happy with the first one so I did a second one but as that is in my journal now - I will have to let you see the first one. Also had to do a quick sympathy card for the chiropractor which is underneath too. Apart from that we are up to date so I'll leave it there and go back to sleep. Just 40 winks you understand.

well done on managing to get an appointment Neet - and that Indian food sounds great - pity I cannot eat it now, the tummy swears of I do!
Love your sympathy card - I too like to make 'quiet' sympathy cards, not generally that CAS, but not bold colours... The scene you made is gorgeous
Blessings

You've got a busy week! Hope you enjoy the next meal out. I like both the sympathy card and the picture and it will make a great card. Happy WOYWW Helen #?
Glad you managed to sort out the appointment Neet. My Hubby uses a leg pillow which helps a little. Sounds like a busy week for you. Enjoy class on Saturday. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah #?
Hi Neet, I've used Tiger balm before and it's good. Hope it works for you. I think the simple cards are some of the hardest to do and make them look finished but that one is beautiful. Loving the landscape card too. Sending WOYWW hugs Angela x7x
Gooid morning Neet 💖 I'm pleased to hear you managed to see another chiropractor and how helpful they were 🤗 here's to the tiger balm helping 🙏 hope you manage to get the pillow soon. What a fabulous week you have planned, enjooooy your meal together later 💟 then rest up after so you can enjoy what else you have planned 🤸♀️ I don't think anyone could ever say you're boring Neet 😘🤩😍 Your card will be cherished by your chiropractor . Tooo that fabulous picture you created 🥰😍 Sending you much love with gentle hugs, have a wonderful week filled with all good things Tracy #9 xxxx
You’re a social animal! I’d be snoozing too lol. Glad you’ve been seeing friends despite having your sore back. The new chiropractor seems to have had a good few suggestions about other ways to help, long may that continue. The sympathy card was spot on, the sort of thing I’d go for.
Hugs LLJ 5 xxx
Tiger Balm is magic!!
Never rains but it pours . . . I find that social life is like that . . all or nothing . . why can't it even itself out?!?!
Love your picture, great colours
Have a good week

Beautiful cards, love the bridge scene and dandelions always fascinate me. Hope your neck improves. I use an electric heat wrap. For me heat helps every time. Happy WOYWW. Angela #10
What a busy week you have. Hope you are enjoying your meal out as I type this. After being a hermit for the last four years, I can quite sympathise with feeling worn out at just the thought of all that socialising but I'm sure the fun and chat you'll have will be worth it. I remember I used to have a cream which I used which had cloves in and you're right, everyone noticed when I walked into a room lol. Love the smell!!!! Have a fabulous week. P xx
Sounds like you have a lot on your plate, but sometimes having a lot to do is better than having nothing to do. I hope you got everything packed up for your weekend fun. And what a fun and magical scene you created. I expect a gnome or an elf to suddenly appear. You could even stick in one of your Dyan R figures, unless it is too small for that. Hope you're having a great middle of week Neet. Hugs-Erika
Hello there Neet! Yes it does tend to be feast or famine with socialising. I'm trying to get a balance but invitations of course don't take account of the other things you have booked in and one can't always put them off!! But I must admit I like plenty of time to myself. I guess I'm boring too!! I haven't tried Dishoom but when I was in town recently we passed one and the queue was enormous, went right round the building. Can't comment on the food but it does seem to be popular. Lovely card and picture. I tend to go C&S for sympathy cards as well, sems the most appropriate way to go. Often more about the words anyway, which are hard. Happy WOYWW, have a good week, love n hugs Cindyxx
Hi Meet, what a busy week you have planned. Makes mine look very boring but, to be frank, I'm still too busy sorting out my craftroom and unpacking boxes to have time for anything more exciting. I like both your pictures and I'm sure the sympathy card will be much appreciated. Have a great week. Hugs, Elizabeth x #15
Sorry you are in pain, Neet, and hope it will soon be better. Tiger Balm is good, I love it! Your art is beautiful, as always. Get well soon, Valerie
Wow! I can only dream of weeks like one you're having. I am also very boring in my old age, but would still like to get out once in awhile! But V-day is coming up, so I have a promised night out sometime that week, anyway! I love the scenic card you made! Just needs a fairy or two...! I am having troubles with my shoulder as well, and I am a side sleeper, so I may try the Tiger Balm as well, and look for a side sleeper pillow (I never knew there was such a thing!) Have a great week, enjoy! Lindart #16

Such an exciting week you've had! LOVE the picture - so pretty and the scene so restful. I need that. We have been making curry at home a lot recently as there is no local to touch the excellent meals we had while living steps away from Brick Lane in London. Your card is stunning too BTW and yes, simple for sympathy is what I try to keep in mind - too fussy is just not the right tone.
Best intentions, total fail!
