THE START OF A BUSY FEW DAYS

Today will be the start of 4 days in a row I shall be out and about.
Bex, Dante, Lacy, Keera and I are heading over to Sylvia Park.
Lacy and Keera have an access meet with Keera's bio father.

While she's busy with that, Bex and I are visiting Spotlight and the supermarket.
Spotlight... well just cos we can.
Supermarket... cos I want to get a few baking ingredients.

Once we come home I have to turn around and go to do my stint at the Hospice Shop.

Tomorrow Stew and I are attending the funeral of a friend from Coromandel.  He died from kidney failure/complications associated with kidney failure.  He was the companion of a very long-time and dear friend of mine, Frieda.  So a trip down to the Waikato on Wednesday.

Thursday I have Hospice Shop duty again, and on Friday Stew is taking the day off so we can have a day together again, just the two of us!
I might like getting used to having my hubby all to myself once in a while!

So, it's going to be rather out and about-ish for me this week!  Bex is looking after Brylee and Griffin three times this week!  I feel a little guilty about that.

ABOVE: Oh and a friend in Wellington (thanks KJ),  let me know of a fabric shop that is closing down over on the North Shore, so I want to fit in a visit to there as well.

Busy, busy... and no photo for today YET!

ONWARD...

Morning Bex... see you when you get to the kitchen... ha ha!

JUDY:  if I really thought she couldn't cope with them I wouldn't leave them with her.  But they are not babies, and really don't require 'looking after' in any way.  They ARE 11 & 12, not 3 or 4.
They really just require an adult to be 'present' as you are not allowed to leave a kid under the age of 14 alone at home alone in this country.

Oh and she really only has to stop them arguing and squabbling!  Which they do a lot.  

Home again... the morning has gone well.  I got the few baking ingredients I needed, and so did Bex.
We also went to Spotlight, and I got some gorgeous red and blue fabric... it was on sale, so SCORE.

I was a bit of a twit and only bought 2 metres of each colour at first.  It wasn't until we were driving away that I thought of getting more of the blue fabric... in case I didn't see any more of it.
So I did an about face and went back and bought some more.  

It doesn't photo well... but it really is the most gorgeous blue.
I might make a duvet cover for our bed with it... stripes of white and blue.  

At least now I have enough for any sort of project I may want it for.


And now, I pretty much have to go ... Hospice Shop duty calls... and for ONCE I'm taking stuff there to donate!  Glasses mostly.

Well... Hospice was bloody quiet today!  I managed to amuse myself by going through all the craft magazines and getting some.

ABOVE:  heaps of magazines, some knitting patterns and three small plastic mini-trays.  I just BOUGHT 3 on the darn weekend!  They are so handy... for sideplates for ya sandwich or what-have-you.  So now I have more, for 50 cents each.  *sigh*

Where is everyone?  Blog world is bloody quiet!

End of Day:  a nice quiet evening.  Nice to just relax after a busy day.
