GETTING THERE

I am so happy to report I am actually feeling so much better!  I don't feel so dreadfully ill when I wake up in the morning!  I still don't have any energy ... but as the day goes on, I get some.

I'm definitely a 'night owl' as opposed to a 'fowl' type of person, which doesn't help in the mornings!

The all day nausea has gone too... thank god, that was just awful!

Now that I am going to have a few more items on my sales table, I needed to stop using the big triangular display unit:

ABOVE:  It is perfect of course, but just too big.  So the other day I went into Hamilton and found an alternative.

ABOVE:  I got two, they will sit on top of the trestle table, off to one side.  Then there will be heaps more room for other stuff.  
I am going to pin the coasters on the fabric slips that I've made.  

Problem solved I hope.  They were 40% off too, so not very expensive at all!  Bit lucky there.

Today, well I've got heaps of jobs to do.  Basic bloody housework, sewing, gardening and so on.

I want to plant cauliflower, broccoli and cabbages, so need to get plants asap.  The start of the winter growing season is NOW.

Last night, around 11.30 pm, I finished another couple of soup bowl cosy's:

ABOVE:  Happy to say they are BLUE!  Well ... mostly blue.  Rather funky if ya ask me.

Right, I'm off to start the day.  

ONWARD...

I've been sewing.   Then Stew said "Let's go for a little walk".  So I said "OK, as long as it's not too long or fast", cos I've still got no energy.
Off we go... down past a rest home, and down a steep track which connects up with the tract that goes out to the Velodrome (right), or into town (left).
We get to the bottom of the bloody big hill, and I'm thinking:  "Thank God I don't have to go back up that hill!"... 

And we go a bit further, to the point where we EXPECT to turn left and take the short way back into town.   WRONG!

ABOVE:  Track closed!  Two choices.  Go right, which is another 3 kms, with a big hill at the end, to the Velodrome, then have to walk on the main road back home, so a round trip of about 6 kms, or go back the way we came.

I chose the shorter way... so we had to climb back up that bloody hill!

ABOVE:  A small section of it, bloody STEEP!
I don't do hills *sniff, sob*  Serve me right for smugly thinking I didn't have to go back up it!

 ABOVE:  Gorgeous pukekos.

 ABOVE:  Quite a few horses on the way... this one was fairly friendly. 

ABOVE:  Hot and bothered face.  
But, I'm feeling quite pleased with myself now... even though I never expected to be doing a big hill walk!

Lunchtime and I'm not exactly hungry.  Stew is cooking meat patties and eggs... smells ikkkk.  Might have a scotch egg with some coleslaw.

ABOVE:   For you Tracy.  I am now making all future soup bowl cosy's in the slightly wider base.

ABOVE:  Three more done and dusted.  I'm now taking a little break from sewing, and tidying the room instead!  It's got cotton thread and bits of fabric and batting all over the floor!

9.09 pm:  Usual evening here... watching TV mostly.  Stew cooked the family Chicken something or other, it was hot apparently.  Because I had a 'main' meal for lunch, I only had yogurt and berries for dinner.  
Feel quite yuk now though.  Not sure why.
Oh well.. another day tomorrow.
