We went to Gloucester for the day on Friday, the city was bigger than I expected and we didn’t get to see everything we wanted to. So we’re going back in the summer to visit the National Waterways Museum, Nature in Art at Wallsworth Hall and to look inside the Cathedral. There was a service on at the time and it wasn’t open to the public.
We did get to visit Gloucester Docks.
Walk around the City centre.
Above Bakers the Jewellers, is a old striking clock with five figures. It striking Jacks representing England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales together with Old Father Time. And for those that are wondering, no, you can't see up the Scots Man's kilt.
And walked around the outside of the Cathedral.
There's a lot of restoration work currently going on at the moment; this is one of the new gargoyles.
Behind the church is the Story Teller's Bench.
Scally emailed me some amendments she wanted doing. Now one would think this would be a fairly easy job and it would take ten minutes at the most. Well, it would if Microsoft hadn't been evolved. Nearly 45 minutes later I managed to get it to update.
Microsoft certainly know how to look after their customers when their software has problems, I got the following message when I hit the No button as to whether I had found them helpful:
And I only get a 1000 characters to tell them what I think.

And lastly the cat has been in disgrace this weekend, but you’ll have to wait to hear about that one.

We also visited Gloucester City Museum & Art Gallery.

Rather fitting that I found this on our wanders, or it would be if I ever get around to publishing any more stories.

So your seat on the story telling bench then would be the one with its hand over its mouth keeping the words in. I see. That's your excuse. So much for telling me you've been writing all day.
Is there a seat with a character who looks confused? If there is it's mine. How can characters that you've made up yourself become so obstreperous? The cheek of them to go into hiding and start doing things on their own.
I'm leaving them in that flippin corridor and they can just stew!

There you go - I’ve added a innocent smiley face one just for you. It’s got a tooth missing. I think it was probably a little too trusting, fell in with bad company and got lead a stray somewhere along the line.
Scally can have the first one, which looks like a devil with horns.
You've summed me up so well.
'I used to be Snow White, but I drifted.' Sweet,innocent and trusting that's me. Until I met you lot that is. Now look at me.
Now I'm not sure about your last comment. Scally doesn't look like a devil at all. No she doesn't. Not at all. ( Are you a complete eejit? Have you no longer a use for your earlobe?)
Would you like a cushion for your seat on the bench? - you may be needing it. Twit.
