IT'S FALLING OVER!

Our freakin lawn is now so long it's literally falling over!

I water it and it gets flattened in places... I've walked on it twice and the grass just stays flat.

I was thinking Stew could mow it this weekend, but after reading up on it, sounds like we should wait another week at least.  And let it dry out a tiny bit before mowing too.

 ABOVE:  I took this photo from out the sunroom window.  You can see some of the patchy places in this photo.

ABOVE:  I took this one while standing on the pool decking.  It shows the entire lawn.  And my footprints. *smiles*

I wonder what it will look like after it's mown for the first time?  I hope we don't kill it!  Though if I water it morning and night afterwards, it should be OK.  But, that's another week away.

I also read that I shouldn't be walking on it at all yet... so bugger.  I will have to go around the long way.

Thought I'd mention this,  yesterday I put photos on here and Facebook of my latest 'batch' of zippered coin purses.
And I ended up selling 4 and taking orders for more!
So, guess what I will certainly be doing today, and probably all weekend?  lol

So... after my morning jobs... it will be straight into the studio and sewing more coin purses. 
Oh and I shall have to pop down to Spotlight for more freakin zips!  

ONWARD...

11.36 am:  So I'm in the studio, cutting out more coin purses, and I see Lacy arrive.  She can't see me cos the studio windows are tinted.
So, I duck down behind a table and wait.

Heee heee, she comes in, doesn't see me and goes off looking for me.

I text her "I might be playing Hide N Seek"...and turn me phone sound off.
Yep, she tried to ring me.  I swipe CANCEL.

So she has to hunt for me.  Luckily for me (it wasn't comfy on the floor), she found me pretty quickly.

Fun over.

I  gave her a job:

ABOVE:  I must be a visual person, cos I needed samples of the fabric colours on the front of the scraps bins, to make it quicker to see where to put scraps.  So Lacy did that for me.  So much easier now.  Thanks Lacy.

She's now gone home and I'm taking a little break before I start cutting out more.

4 pm:  And I spent a good two hours cutting out 10 more Kiwiana coin purses, then I sewed up 6 and now... I'm calling time on sewing for the day.

I've got a stiff neck, but otherwise just fine.  I decided to put the Air con on in the studio today... OMLord, what a difference that made.  I didn't over heat and feel sick like yesterday.

I just hope it doesn't bump up the power bill too much!  Not that I will use the air con every day, just when I know I will be in there for a long time and it's particularly hot.

Today is particularly HOT.  *smiles*

At 5 I will get some chicken drumsticks in the oven for dinner... to be had with a nice stir fry vege mix.

Stew arrived home at 6 pm, and WHOOPS!  I had got distracted by messages and yakking with our son Mike over Messenger and hadn't got dinner on.

So, into the oven went the chicken, and into the pool Stew and I went.
It was a wonderful way to cool down and relax before dinner.

And dinner was yum, and then we relaxed in front of the telly... me to watch Coronation Street, and Stew to watch sport in the lounge.

Now?  Bedtime.
