DAMN FIREWORKS!

When... like WHEN are 'they' going to ban private use of fireworks?

How many animals have to be scared half to death, or die from injuries caused by fireworks, before the powers that be ban them?

Last night, Coco was inside, safe in her bed until some idiots started letting off bangers near our home.

Next thing I know, Coco's scratching on our back door, in a part of the yard she's not normally able to access.

We open the door to let her in...

ABOVE: And there she is, sopping wet and covered in dirt!

She had dug her way under the fence and somehow gotten all wet, then found her way out of our property, then back in under our hedge ... to then beg to be let back in.

She was petrified.  So we had to lock her inside so she couldn't get out again.

Grrrr.  We will no doubt have to do this for the next week, if not longer.

Now, today.
First up, I'm going to do some more sewing.  It was so enjoyable getting some done yesterday.

Then at lunchtime we are going into Hamilton and picking up Keera, Rena and Lacy for the afternoon.
As it's going to be a lovely fine day, we shall have lunch at the mall, then head off to our new, favourite park.

ONWARD...

2.45 pm:  Well!  I did some sewing this morning, then we went into Hamilton and picked up the girls.

Off to the mall for lunch, and I went to Spotlight and got some more Christmas fabrics (30%  off)... then we went to the park up the road from our new home.

ABOVE:  It was extremely HOT, so we didn't stay longer than an hour or so.
Came home, and now they are playing outside.

Sunblock is on, cos OMG it's hot out there!

ABOVE: Meanwhile, Kelly is taking advantage of having no kids... and is out on their motorbike for a ride. 

I'm now going to cut up more fabric for Wine Bottle Hats.

9.10 pm:  And I've spent most of the late afternoon sewing, and also an hour or so after dinner too.
Very happy with my results.  I'll show you tomorrow OK.

For now... it's time to wind down, relax and do nothing.
