Text of the page (random words):
ich bucket lifted water up from a 40 foot deep cistern hunting dogs from my journal inside oh my goodness ancient 7th c fresco s though sadly some were very damaged because they offended those who came after bedouins who used this as a dwelling as this had been a hunting palace there were clearly leisure pursuits also available and several walls ceilings had pictures of a sexual nature which had been appropriately damaged later there were many other different paintings people at work hunting scenes someone playing a lute the ever present tree of life and a lovely frieze of desert animals i loved the painting of a centaur which had been introduced from other influences greek mythology of course the photo of the centaur is one of the ones which is still on the camera journal then oh my goodness al azraq castle built by the romans and used ever since this final crusader castle was the very one where lawrence of arabia discussed the sykes picot agreement in 1916 wikipedia says the sykes pico agreement was a 1916 secret treaty between the united kingdom and france with assent from russia and italy to define their mutually agreed spheres of influence and control in an eventual partition of the ottoman empire journal entry the actual castle was built by the romans the double front door was made from two slabs of stone weighing 1000 g and had pivots on their outer edges now greased by diesel oil it would have been olive oil in the past there was another elsewhere a single door even heavier at around 4 000 kg here i am stood in the very room where lawrence of arabia and prince faisal had their talks the blackened stones above my head were from later bedouin fires the sense of history here was breathtaking the very heavy door gabby goes to the shops prices were very much cheaper here than in the cities or the stop offs the coach tour used then across the desert again to the dead sea that s israel on the far shore i just had a paddle but most of the folk on our coach floated it is so salty something like 40 saline you can only float and you don t want to splash it in your eyes afterwards it s obligatory to cover yourself in the mud which is good for the skin and then you can have a beach shower to get off the worst before going back to the showers which were part of the hotel complex we had lunch at you could hire a towel i ll put a couple of museum photos up tomorrow now it s gardening time again posted by bovey belle at 10 35 14 comments labels qasr al harranah quseir amra al azraq castle monica edwards the summer of the great secret hoopoes lawrence of arabia the sykes pico agreement prince faisal tuesday 25 march 2025 a day out to look forward to before the car decided to give me problems i was going to go to aberystwyth to go on rosie s 1st birthday outing it clashed with a coach trip run by the heritage society to some of radnorshire s most interesting churches with lunch at the visitor centre in the elan valley and home via cors y lyn bog the one i have visited several times now with boardwalks anyway now the car s off the road they were looking to fill the last seats and i got the very last one and friend pam will give me a lift into town on saturday not today s walk this is up in the hills near pant y llyn this morning pam bought me up my newspaper and we took her rescue dog for a lovely walk along the river wye up past pen ddol rocks and up through the woods and back in a loop it was lovely i made a big pan of risotto with a gammon steak chopped up rice tinned chopped tomatoes onions peas and mushrooms i had some for lunch and there s still two big meals out of it i was a bit too achey to do much gardening today but took myself out to hoik out the ancient and moss covered lavender bushes in the bed at the top of the garden i just did one side two bushes and dug out all the gnarled root bundles of grass hooray buttercups etc i will give it a more thorough going over tomorrow yesterday i was edging and weeding weeding weeding the arc of gravel in front of the rhododendrons and sweeping up a tree s worth of beech leaves from the lawn and by the back fence panels i ve made good progress in several places in the garden this past few days i tried to get back to my heritage quilt blocks all i can say is the instructions are screwed no way does the block fit together so i have gone on line and downloaded instructions from someone who does know how an ohio star block should be cut and pieced and i will start over before i ruin too much fabric for the straightforward ohio star you have no idea how relieved i was to read all the cut pieces were 5 1 2 when cut out no 4 7 8 cut in half and pieced etc and the row above 5 1 4 i know that morning s minion had it all worked out but she s an expert quilt maker i ain t i ve been watching one of neil oliver s excellent talks about ghosts it s on youtube and titled power politics premonitions and heartbreak i really enjoyed watching it learning about seers premonitions and the like and then he took us to culloden and what people have experienced there very good viewing well my beautiful petite grand daughter is a year old today happy birthday rosie my gorgeous girl i wish my car was on the road so i could have visited but i will see her on sunday when they come over and gabby visits and we all go out for a mother s day lunch at the seven stars inn at aberedw i m looking forward to that so nothing exciting to babble on about but it s so good to have sunshine and birdsong and to be able to sit outside with my book and a cuppa posted by bovey belle at 18 49 10 comments labels rosie s birthday ohio star quilt blocks walk by pen ddol rocks gammon risotto gardening neil oliver and ghosts monday 24 march 2025 family and friends first of all sue in suffolk asked for the link to the eye test i did so here it is it is 100 pictures long though as they count each picture as a percentage it made my eyes tired by the end i had a lovely visit from tam and rosie yesterday and they took me for a quick next week top up shop in tesco i will confess that i got a bigger tub of ice cream the kelly s cornish honeycomb ice cream was on a special offer and i had several spoonfuls last night with strawberries still failed on the cheese though no edam no plain wensleydale or caerphilly on offer as long as you want 3 dozen different brands of cheddar though you re ok rosie was a delight but a busy bee now toddling about and walking the length of the room the shop with the fabrics in which i pictured yesterday was booths in hay on wye primarily a huge bookshop but its crafts end seems to be expanding which is great by me it s nice to browse though none of the crafts books was that tempting this time it was nice to wander round my favourite town and have a word with friends i see the shop of one of them has now been taken over by someone else and the interesting antiques and studio pottery have gone and replaced by this i liked the china with the hares on and thought it might be emma bridgwater but picked up a mug and no stamp on the bottom and it felt light and breakable an interesting little corner i don t know if this shop will make it as i think rents are high and winter is dead in hay apart from market day when it livens up a bit people seem to think hay is the place to sell but tbh it s a bit like smoke and mirrors the shops all have a very good look but prices are high here and times are hard well i did a load of housework and tidying before tam came including another frontal lobotomy on the dyson which keeps blocking up i can rest on my laurels for a couple of days now i had to have a big tidy up in the living room before rosie arrived so books have been tidied away and all my sewing stuff removed my friend pam came round with plants for me just before tam left i have two clumps copper grasses a big clump of pink hardy geranium some dahlia tubers and lots of rudbeckia which will go at the back of the bank as it is tall and spreads we had a good natter and watched a couple of monty don s big dreams small spaces programmes on youtube she went home with a pile of my gardening magazines to get ideas for her garden from i had another 3 or 4 hours out in the garden on saturday oh my aching back and dug through all the chippings by the low wall to remove dozens and dozens of wild strawberries they spread so and these plants weren t as pickable as the ones up on the bank it looks much tidier now i also weeded about 6 feet of the long border plus potting on well grown small rose campions i overwintered in the greenhouse and gave pam some when she came we plan to visit local gardens open to the public this spring and summer under the powys national garden scheme right nearly 5 a m now i m down because i got too hot in bed so the winter duck down duvet will have to be changed for the summer one today i will probably have to walk into town and back today as boots have informed me that my prescription is ready gardening on the agenda too of course i need to start some more seeds and plant some of pam s donations grass weed on the bank and put down cardboard and bark chippings sarah in sussex haven t heard from you for a while i hope you and s are ok or are you on holiday i know you had one planned posted by bovey belle at 04 57 10 comments labels gardening new plants hay on wye saturday 22 march 2025 testing my brain i am here honest but in finding some new brain games to keep the old grey cells active i did a colour and vision test out of interest gosh i thought this is going on and on and then realized there were a 100 pictures to work through anyway i persevered as i wanted to know the answer and got 86 which makes me one of only 5 4 of the participants to do this well not bad at my age but when i had my eyes deep tested last year she did say my eyes were in good condition and i had no macular degenation i still needed stronger reading glasses though it s not that long ago 5 years at most when i could read the tiniest printing on food labels not any more guess where i was last week then anyway it got me away from playing car escape for a bit as that is really addictive i guess it rewards your dopamine levels hence me wanting to get away from that and into brain training short term memory especially back tomorrow when hopefully my lower back will have forgiven today s hard work in the garden oh good start to the day as i sold an old but good sack truck i no longer needed a pleased seller and a pleased customer posted by bovey belle at 19 26 12 comments labels brain testing thursday 20 march 2025 talk about miniature i got my asda order delivered today i wondered what the delivery man meant when he said i showed great restraint with my ice cream until i unpacked the crate and found this diddy carton 50g and i thought i was getting a special offer bargain ah well i shall have to exercise restraint to make it last more than three mouthfuls the bowl is a standard breakfast bowl not a mixing bowl btw i have been busy outside again today and dug a hole on one side of the bank for the dwarf aster i was given by my friend chris a couple of months back then i set to and began weeding that area as grass was beginning to take over three hours later plus i did some more moss and grass removal in front of the stables i gave myself a proper lunch hour and sat in the sun with a new book come hell or high water by jd kirk then i took myself off for a cross country walk along part of the viaduct long distance trackway anyway it s down our track turn left and up across the fields to the old church and then back home via the lanes photos through the copse across the stream and that tallest of the fir trees edges my top triangle paddock the orchard i sat on a warm bank and ate a peppermint aero the view across the next field rhayader and the elan valley are about 15 miles beyond those hills my home is off to the left once you get down the steep hill i stopped to chat to the lass who was in the lambing pens she had 3 sets of triplets mums were going to be able to feed them themselves too no need for one to be bottle fed as is often the case the mums here were blue faced leicesters i noticed some texels and suffolks in one of their other fields though final photo i was glad to get home and rest tea tonight was a bungit a chopped onion a very small pack of aldi minced beef a grated carrot a small grated potato long grain rice a hefty sprinkling of medium curry powder and some oxo stock very tasty and
