SEEING DOUBLE ... BUT LIKE UNDERWATER!

Sooooo... yesterday I had a problem.
It stopped me blogging from lunch time on.

I could hardly see!

Seriously, my eyes were sore, and I simply could not see properly... it was like everything was blurry, and I almost had double vision! 

So obviously I couldn't see to type or do the blog... or even watch TV.  I just had to sit and wait for it to ease up.

And why did this happen?

Simple.

I changed my make up wipes.   I always get Johnson's, but there were none at the supermarket the other day, so I bought a different type.

ABOVE:  So yesterday morning I used the NIVEA wipes, and by lunchtime my eyes were all itchy and my vision was dreadful.

I struggled with seeing things properly for HOURS!  Thankfully by bedtime I was pretty much seeing OK again, but still having some blurry moments.

Clearly, I won't be using the NIVEA wipes again!

Today? I've got an FBG walk on at 9.30 am, followed by morning tea with the FBG girls who are on today's walk.  That should be nice.  

I've managed to get these done:

ABOVE:  6 more owls.  I don't think I need to make any more of them for a little while!

And that's all for now!  Catch ya later... after me walk.

ONWARD...

9 am:  and just like that, change of plans.
Got outta bed and boom!  My lower back was killing me!  Must have slept wrong... so walking ain't gunna happen today.

After thinking about it ... it's probably a good idea to give my blisters a rest too.

So, what to do?  I've seen an advert for a shop out in the country side pop up on Facebook many times, so Brylee and I are going out there to have a look-see.

It's out Te Awamutu way, which isn't far from here at all.  After we've been there, we are going into Te Awamutu for a wander around the shops there.

Should be a nice change of scene.  I'll take me camera, so might have a few nice photos to share when we get back.

2.30 pm:  And Brylee and I have had a fabulous few hours!

First up, we went to The Interiors Barn, which is out in the whoop whoops between Te Awamutu and Cambridge.

 ABOVE: See?  Whoop whoops.  But very pretty area.

ABOVE:  It is a very lovely shop, lots of rustic type nick nacks, wall stuff, furniture and the like.  Prices were varied... some stuff was really expensive, and other stuff was down right reasonable.  We got a couple of  'reasonably' priced things ...

 ABOVE: That diet sign... cos it is funny.

ABOVE: And this one, cos it's handy to know/have handy in the kitchen.  Just need to find a wall it put it on now!

ABOVE:  Left The Interiors Barn and passed these gorgeous cows on our way to Te Awamutu.

In Te Awamutu, we walked up and down the main street, popping into a few Op Shops and a really GREAT 2nd hand clothing/shoes/handbags/jewellery shop:

ABOVE: I totally recommend this shop to anyone wanting a bargain!

 ABOVE:  Brylee got TWO dresses for $15!

ABOVE: And I got two tops for a bit more than that... but they are perfect for summer.  Both are light weight and can be worn over a white camisole or t-shirt.

Op shop purchases:

 ABOVE:  A melamine tray, cos like... I REALLY NEEDED ANOTHER ONE!   I counted up how many I've got (53!).  
At least I don't pay much for them, and they are damn handy when you have a lot of visitors!

ABOVE:  And these little dishes will be perfect for putting chutney/dips etc in on my birthday.  I think you can bake in the 4 on the right too?

And that's 'it' for the shopping! We had lots of fun, then came back to Cambridge for lunch at a coffee shop. We shared some wedges actually, but they were so HOT we didn't really enjoy them much.  Lots of laughs though, trying not to choke or burn our mouths with them!  lol

It was so nice to spend some quality time with our girl.  Must do it more.  

Time to just chill out for a while now... it's tiring shopping!  And my back is killing me... so some relaxation is on the cards.

Well it has been a lovely relaxing afternoon and evening.  I really love Friday nights.  Silly bugger dinners, Coronation Street... and a weekend to look forward to with Stew home.

Catch ya tomorrow.
