I have eaten too much but I have also walked although this morning the temperature was -6 degrees. We went into central Dundee on Saturday and visited two of my favourite people.

Desperate Dan from the Beano

and one of his horrible little friends. You can see how loved they are by the polish on the bronze. Dundee is the home of the Beano and the City Fathers put these statutes up some years ago. They are life sized.

We went out to lunch and I could not resist taking a photo of Dorothy's pudding. I did steal a marshmallow. It is cold up here, definitely hot water bottle country. I am reading lots of thrillersd but also thinking about textiles. I must have trawl through unfinished projects when I get home. Two new projects have appeared already. Dorothy has found a very tatty book of SEAC cartoons. SEAC = South East Asian Commando = Burma War in 1940s and it was my father's book. I have undertaken to rebind it. Also an astonishing Christmas present was two Victorian leather bound books in need of some TLC!!

 

This was written on 29th December in Dundee but the iPad was not playing and so I had to rescue the blog on my desktop.

 

In actual fact I am now back home tidying up and deciding what to do next.
