WOYWW #686 - Exercises, WATER, Graduation

I'm seeing my osteopath about various things right now (Back, Hamstring, Shoulder and Knee). 

So my desk is festooned with different weights ready for my new regime of exercises.

I did however do a scrapbook page this week.

The photos are from Advent/November last year when Jan introduced us to crocheted angels. Remember those, I made 20+ in the end.

I used one of my new Kraft Crazy dies of the angel, all the photos don't leave much room for other stuff but I managed it.
As for the WATER situation with a drought looming especially here in the South East, I have been saving water from various activities for the garden,

1) The Air-Con machine dehumidifies so there is a run off of water so that is collected in jugs...


2) I started saving run through water, and veg washing water in the kitchen,  and quite amazed at how much "waste" water there is.

Both are now transferred to conveniently located watering cans ready for the garden





3) I tried the jug to watering can method with bath water but that proved too much.

So yesterday we set up a hose from the bathroom to trugs outside. It took a bit to get it going but it worked in the end. 

Best to leave that water for 24 hours before use on garden. 

It's called "Grey Water" and you can definitely see why - LOL.




And to finish my son's Graduation from last week, a hectic day in the heat, driving to and from Southampton St Mary's Stadium but all done and such proud parents. 





Lovely to see him home for the first time since he moved out in March too.





And he insisted on a photo opportunity back at campus. 

a) When he was 18yrs and on his Open Day visit to Southampton University

b) Now Graduated 23yrs, 

I can feel a scrapbook page or two coming on.....





Happy WOYWW Everyone.






PS Blogger is a right pain today, photos won't drag and drop amongst other things!!

    I love the photos as they are :D Saving water like that, what a great idea. I live in an apartment so there is not many thing I can do concerning the water, only use less as possible :) .. Congratulation with your Son ... That is an amazing thing when the "kids" are finishing ther graduation.
    I wonder? .. Have you heard about Anthony William? If not, try to google him and see if you can use some of his books?

    Thank you for sharing

    Have a great week !!
    Hugs

    I have given up watering the garden and cutting back the plants instead. They will grow back when the rain starts or not. I bet you had a lovely day with your son he looks great. Wishing you a very happy and creative woyww. Hugs, Angela x9x

    Oh, graduation, even if later than planned, is so marvellous isn’t it, a day that really does point to the promise of their future. I loved it. Saw quite a few be-gowned graduands last week on my wandering to distract from thinking about Mr Dunnit in the clinic! Really love the then and now photos of your lovely boy..and how that greenery has grown too, such a great measure of the time lapse! I hope the weights and exercises are a help for you.
