Sun 061220 Next door neighbour, Fiona, knocked - Philip Firsov/Zoom/Architecture drawing/painting class

2 PM NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOUR, FIONA, KNOCKED

Somewhere around 2PM, I was really 'busy'...; when, all of a sudden, there was a 'persistent' knocking at the door. In the end, I felt I had no other choice but to answer it.

Normally, if somebody is delivering a parcel...they will knock maybe once or twice. Similarly, if people are dropping leafet's...about the same amount of knocks. However, if the knocking is 'persistent'...; then, that's probably somebody who knows you.

Some weeks back, Finona, my next door neighbour dropped a note though my letter box...saying I should contact her; but, most unfortunately, I did not.

When I went and opened up the door...; sure enough it was her.

I explained, thanks very much for calling...as nobody else around here seems to be interested enough to want to call; and, therefore, I was very appreciative of her time and attention. 

I also said, the reason why I didn't reply back to her...is my mind is elsewhere...namely, tend to sleep days and wake nights; also, I wanted to reply...but, many times, my mind kept on getting distracted.

I informed her about my family situation...and, the history of the house/family.

She mentioned she would like to buy the house...; but, I answered if I had any choice in the matter then I would not wish to sell...not after living here for over 50+ years long.

We also discussed the builders work they had done on the house...started it...; but, never really finished; however, the most important stuff was achieved...namely, they rebuilt the floor...which, otherwise, was in danger of collapsing.

Before, Fiona left...I gave her a few gifts...

- 1 x remote controlled helicopter drome

- 1 x Roulette set

- 1 x Pressure cooker

...all of which I helped take across to her door.

When I went and checked out my Facebook Instant Messenger...I noticed a link from Philp Firsov(one of my former art teachers).

Then, I went and checked out Facebook...where I found the link to the FREE online class. I decided to join in.

The class was over 1 hour long...; and, was a very good demonstration of how to create an architectural drawing of the head of building's decorative column. 

The class was recorded; and, the recording is available to view for the next 7 days.
