Stressed a lot.

I think the DP and I are about ready to retire again.  The Art exhibition this coming weekend has become a nightmare.  One of our friends and also member of the Art group which is putting on the exhibition has run on her own the Community Challenge we set every year.  This year its Under the Sea.  Taken up enthusiastically by schools, church groups etc.




Some of the exhibits from the Community Challenge.

Our friend liaises with all the schools and groups providing paper etc.  She collects the finished work and then when the hall where we exhibit is open she starts to put up the exhibits the week before the exhibition. As there are so many of them.  One of the Art groups meeting at the hall has complained to the Council that she was doing this on 'their time' so we now have the threat that a charge will be made.  This Art Group was one of the founder members of the exhibition.  How nasty they are as things have not always been as they liked. Really leaves a nasty taste.

Very high humidity again today so the DP accompanied me to the Prom.



How it looked when we arrived.  Then the Haar rolled in.





It followed us home, the Haar.  Then it rained a lot.  No thunder, though it was forecast.


Soggy Siskin.


And damp Mr and Mrs Hoover.

The DP is down at the Dalrymple Hall taking in other artists and photographers exhibits and ours to be hung tomorrow.  Full day of setting up the exhibition.  I have been sat waiting for the chap who makes the trophies for Best in Show visitor votes for Artist and Photographer.  He has been rather busy so he is now coming tomorrow.  See what I mean STRESSFUL.

Don’t stress, the day will come and go whether to become upset or not so might as well just relax and let things fall as they may, beautiful photos!

Time to draw a line under it Jill. Stress does no-one any good at all. Sorry it's been so humid too - I know just how that must have felt today.

The weekend will soon be over and you can tell them you will be Retiring : )

Love the bird photos.

We are shrouded in a deep mist this morning that has been around since yesterday. Sorry to read you are stressed out about the art exhibition, maybe time to retire. Great photos.
