Here's a picture of a cafe in Venice, which is a place I would like to visit one day. Having no job and no hope of one was so depressing, thinking that I could never realise any of my dreams, but on Friday afternoon, I had a phone call to say that I have got a job at last!
I don't think it's sunk in properly yet and of course, it's subject to my references being ok, etc. But I HAVE A JOB!!
I am going to save up firstly to go on a cheap sunshiney break, probably in Spain. I need sunshine and relaxation! Then I'll start my little nest-egg for that special holiday. I said I'd do it eventually (Kev) and now I can look to the future a lot more.
Also, here's the piece that I made for Cindy in the USA. It was a challenge on https://www.facebook.com/groups/mixedmediaart/
I really enjoyed doing this, though it was fiddly to do. I'm looking forward to getting the one she's made for me now.
It's getting closer to our holiday, just about five months to go! We are going to Budapest for ten days and I've been checking out sites such as
http://www.hungarybudapestguide.com/ and http://www.caboodle.hu/ to read info on where to go and what to see. We will be staying on the Buda side of the Danube, close to the river and not far from the Chain Bridge over to the Pest side. Here are some of the sights...
Fisherman's Bastion
Parliament
St Stephen's Basilica
It all looks wonderful, architecturally and otherwise. It will be nice going in June (I hope). We went to Prague in December 2007 and it was flipping freezing, though good to see the Christmas market in the Old Town. Last year we had ten days in Malta and we fell in love with the place. I would love to go back there one day, especially to see their lovely city, Valletta where we spent many happy hours. The temperature was quite high though and it was uncomfortable especially for me, as I had recently started the menopause....not a place to be having hot flushes!!
These are the gardens we used to go to, to cool off after sightseeing in Valletta. The view here was fantastic. We sat under the olive trees, watching small green lizards dart up and down
I remember us being stopped here by a young lad who said that he needed some money to phone...something about a lost passport, but we didn't believe him. I suppose you get these scammers everywhere. We had some guy in Prague who asked for money and was even willing to accompany K to the bank to get it!!
The last pic is another of our 'resting places' in the centre of Valletta, next to the Palace. There are benches there now and a bit of welcome shade. Roll on June!!
