So my desk is festooned with different weights ready for my new regime of exercises.
The photos are from Advent/November last year when Jan introduced us to crocheted angels. Remember those, I made 20+ in the end.
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,
3) I tried the jug to watering can method with bath water but that proved too much.
Best to leave that water for 24 hours before use on garden.
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.

And he insisted on a photo opportunity back at campus.
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.
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
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.
It's called "Grey Water" and you can definitely see why - LOL.
Lovely to see him home for the first time since he moved out in March too.

a) When he was 18yrs and on his Open Day visit to Southampton University
b) Now Graduated 23yrs,

PS done that water saving here for years, though stopped the grey water pne sime time back it was too hard to do.
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 !!

Hi BJ, so nice to vist your blog this morning - very interesting how you are capturing more water! I hope your PT goes well!
Have a great week, Ginny M
I am very impressed at your water saving methods, good for you! Love the photos of your son at either end of his Uni time! Happy WOYWW and good luck with the exercise xx Helen #2
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.
