Day 27 LA

Day 27 LA

Woke at 6 and my brain was clear for the first time in a few days. My foot was still sore. I worked on my computer until Troy woke at 7 and then it was downstairs, breakfast, computer, feed and walk the dog. Troy was online with his friends.  Oscar woke then Teagan and finally Susan.

In the meantime I sat outside and sewed for most of the day. Troy and Teagan were on their devices. Then Troy was helping her play an online game. Oscar went off to work. I finished all the basting of the shapes and then finally began to sew up the shapes into star formation.

We headed for Pasadena in the late afternoon. After parking, we found Santa at the top of the escalator and had our photos taken. He was great. No queues when we were there, Then we wandered through the Pasadena Antique Mall- what a treasure trove of all kinds of things. From here we went up the escalator to “Tokyo Wako” for some sushi.

Susan had her parking ticket validated and we set off for the Descanso Gardens “Enchanted Garden of Light”. A truly amazing experience. More than just a light and sound show. They had set out the garden in ten different themed garden areas. My personal favourites were the “Flower Power”, Starlight Garden” and “Garden of Good Fortune”. You definitely needed to rug up as t was cold in the gardens. I was wishing I had bought my hat and gloves.  I was wearing a long sleeve T-shirt, down vest and polar fleece jumper and was still cold. Luckily we had the first time slot and there was only a few people in front of us. We went through all the sections and then back to the car for the drive home.

When we got here it was time for a cuppa and some TV while I typed up today’s diary.
