SWIMMING? NOT SURE YET.

Today I am thinking of re-joining Aqua Fit, run by Sport Waikato.
Over winter swimming is held in St Peter's School Pool, which is just outside Cambridge.

So, this morning I might go out and suss it out... if I can find me togs!

It's also Patchwork day, but I have pretty much decided not to go any more.  Why go, sit and do some hand sewing, and not feel comfortable or happy there?  I know I keep changing my mind about this group, but after talking about it with another girl who's a member (who feels the same as me), I have finally made up my mind.

As 'C' said to me while we were out walking on a FBG walk last week, why go somewhere where you really don't feel HAPPY, when you can go for a walk with the FBG's and really enjoy the company?  We are both done with patchwork group.

I have a FBG walk on tonight, 6.30 pm.  So,  plenty of time to get the family's dinner cooked before I head out in the freezing cold!  At least while walking I don't feel the cold, unlike yesterday when I just sat and froze at market!

OMG it really was so cold... I'm now hunting around for what I can wear next time that will actually keep me warm!  Maybe a hot water bottle or two as well!  And wool ugg boots!  My feet were so cold, even though I had on my fluffy slippers and wrapped a blanket around my legs.  Brrrr.

ABOVE: Sometime this week I will be hunting down where I can buy some REAL Ugg Boots, not cheap rip offs that aren't as good.
I had some Uggs 40 years ago as a teenager when we lived in Upper Atiamuri, they were wonderful.  Wonder what happened to them?  *sigh*... far too long ago to remember now.

But I do remember how warm they were in winter.  Winters in Upper Atiamuri/Rotorua/Tokoroa were brutal back then. 

ABOVE: Two ladies walked past my stall yesterday, spied this Tree Runner and immediately looked at each other and said "Perfect for The Shower!", and bought it on the spot! Only they plan on hanging it on the wall instead of using it as a Runner.  I was really chuffed they loved it so much. 

I now only have two Tree Runners left!  Think I need to make more somehow!  A couple of Autumn ones next, (put your name down if you want one!), and then a couple of Greens and Christmas ones too.
I am totally LOVING making them.  They rock.

Swimming starts at 8.30 this morning, so I better get a move on, and find my togs!  Get myself organised and get outta here on time.

ONWARD...

SWIMMING... didn't happen.  I kept thinking of everything I wanted to get done today and flagged it.

UGG boots... FARK have you seen the price of them suckers?  They are over $200!  Certainly won't be getting them at that price!  They sure have risen in price since I got some aeon's ago.

ABOVE:  I went hunting in my wardrobe and found THREE 100%, pure Merino Wool, long sleeved tops that I can wear to keep me warm!
I vaguely remember buying them when we lived down in Palmerston North.  Was freaking cold down there too. 

 And a really warm hat that doubles as a scarf, and it comes down over your ears and quite low on the back of the neck, so PERFECT to keep one's head warm.

I'm winning today!

And now... I am going to vacum the entire house properly, cos Griffin does a shit job.  And then I've got a few other jobs to do around the house before I have lunch.  Which will probably end up being mid-afternoon the rate I'm going.

Well half the vacuming is done, and most of my other odd jobs too.
I had veges with a cheese sauce for lunch, with a little ham thrown in for good luck. It was lovely.

We now have persistent rain, not too heavy.  But, the FBG walk this evening is now in doubt.  The leader is going to call it in another hour or so. I fully expect it to be cancelled.
But... you never know, there might be others happy to walk in the rain?  

Well as expected, tonight's walk was cancelled.  The rain just got heavier and no one was keen to walk.  All good.  I'm tired anyway.  Been busy most of the day.

Looking forward to watching the first 'up to date' Coronation Street episode tonight.
And keeping warm.  It's so damn cold now.  I've had the heat pump on/off all day, depending on what I was doing.  

Catch you tomorrow.
