HRV

Today I need to contact an HRV company.  We need the filters cleaned or replaced asap.
I seriously doubt the previous owners of this home had them looked at or cleaned at all during the 18 months they were here.

Now that we are at Level 3 we should be able to get someone here to do it, keeping all the necessary precautions in place.

Also today we are hoping Lacy finally gets safely home, after being in lockdown up in Whangarei.  Hopefully we hear from her soon to say she's on her way.

What else?  Not much!
Stew will be working all day.
I will do more sewing after attending to the housework.

It really is the same stuff every day right now!

A couple of mornings ago we had a cracker jack fog hanging around and it was horrible and cold.

And it prompted me to say to Stew I really didn't think it was worth me doing the Cambridge Market any more.

Two reasons really.  1. It's not profitable most of the time and 2.  I hate standing out there in the cold for 8 out of the 12 markets in the year.

Seriously... I get so cold I could cry.  And now that we don't live in Cambridge anymore, Stew has to stay with me the whole time.  So he's cold too.

For what?  Certainly not for the money!  I do enjoy the social interaction... but not when I end up freezing cold and miserable.

So... I am handing in my notice.  Then I shall just concentrate on the two Church markets that are profitable for now.  And also perhaps go back to having an Online Facebook page for selling my stuff?  There might be a few once a year markets I can get into as well in the area?  I will check it out over time.

I could also set up a space in my garage (once Lacy's out of it of course) and have a go at selling from home too?  Worth a thought.

So... plenty to think on and do/find out about.
But for now, enough waffling.  I'm off to do some housework.  Oh yaaa.

ABOVE:  Too funny not to share with ya.

ONWARD...

I had a quick look on Facebook while having my brunch just now.  And I'm so incensed.

So many people seem to think going to Level 3 meant they could just travel anywhere within their 'region'.  Ah NO.  You still have to stay LOCAL... not go 50-60 kms away to catch a bloody fish!  Or walk on the beach. Or climb a mountain.  WTF are people thinking?
I fear we will be back in Level 4 before we know it.

I applaud EVERYONE who is doing the right thing.  THANK YOU.

So I rang the HRV place here in Hamilton and left a message. Still waiting to hear back from them.

I've spent the last 2 hours on the phone/internet trying to find a particular cotton thread I need for my cot quilts.  Still no luck.  Grrrrr.

ABOVE:  Two of my dearest friends in the entire world, Sandra and Chris D.  They live in Palmerston North.  I miss them so much.  Anyway... Chris has been on her own during Level 4, but yesterday she was added to Sandra's bubble.  So happy they are together again, and Chris is not alone any more.

Though she does have her two adorable little dogs, Buddy and Harley to keep her company.

We got a knock on the front door  just before.  It was one of our neighbours and her little Grandson, Arlo.
Arlo wanted to hand deliver a letter to me.
Just the cutest little 5 year old!!!

He's usually very reluctant to write his Grandma told me... but he had no problem writing a letter to me:

ABOVE:  How darn adorable is that?  
He rather enjoyed looking at our fish too... though I had a couple of mini heart attacks with him on the bridge!

STEVE:  we do need side rails!  ASAP.  In a very rustic sorta way ... we can discuss it when we get together again.  *smiles*

Lacy... is half way home.  There goes our left overs every day.  lol

And FINALLY... I have found a stockist of the thread I want!  Way down in Petone, Wellington.  I'm just waiting to hear if they have the colour I want, and when they can send it to me.  Until then, I'm not stitching the cot quilts.

Whoop whoop!   They do have the thread I want, and more.  So I just ordered a heap... enough to ensure I don't run out in a hurry.  So relieved.
Now I just have to sit and wait for it to be delivered.  

ABOVE:  AND ... she's home.  Marley hid behind the curtain until she got enticed out for a cuddle.
Lacy had no problems on her drive home thank goodness. 

A lovely dinner tonight of chicken steaks, fresh bread rolls and a lettuce/egg salad.  It was actually just as nice as the takeaway meal we had last night!

Time to sign off and enjoy an evening of TV, maybe some craft in me sewing studio?  Dunno yet... depends how lazy I feel.  lol
