LEST WE FORGET

It is ANZAC weekend.  A time to remember all who have lost their lives during wars in the past.

Because of Covid-19  shutting everything down, there were no poppy sales this week.

ABOVE:  So I made my own.

And I will put our little remembrance tribute out on the grass verge very early this morning.

ABOVE:  We all have layers... some are public and some are private.  Like an iceberg, most people's private layers are hidden from view, and only a few are privvy to them.  My inner circle just got smaller.  It happens. 

Moving on...

 ABOVE:  The fabric I ordered from Grandmother's Garden turned up by courier!  I had no idea they could send it during Level 4!
I love it... there's enough there for either 4 or 8 cot quilts, it will depend on how many sections I use per quilt.

ABOVE: OMG ... just OMG.  I asked him for a nice birthday photo!

Today I will probably flog Stew into doing a few odd  jobs around the place.  Though for the life of me I can't think WHAT right now!
Seriously, there is so few things we need to do now.

The 2nd Bird Runner will get finished today... then I have two more lined up to make, so I have plenty to do.

ONWARD...

Well contrary to popular opinion... we CAN relax!  Which is pretty much what we have been doing.
I even had a nap after lunch.

I'm running the pool filter today, and added chlorine too.  Something I will have to do every 2 weeks over winter.

ABOVE:  Stew cut the TV shelf corners with the jigsaw and I painted the edge white.  Now it doesn't jut out so much and has nice curved corners.  Much safer.

And before you ask/wonder, YES, the TV is screwed to the shelf and the shelf is screwed to the wall.  So it's NOT going to fall off on anyone.

I had a lovely chat with me Mum (THE OLD MOO) today, just explaining latest family interactions.  She's beyond ANGRY, like we are.
But oh well.  Shit happens.   


Stew had just gone out to the chemist to pick up his prescription, then he's going to the supermarket for some things we ran out of.  Like ice cream.  lol
Nah in all seriousness, we did need a couple of things. 

I'm now back in my happy place, sewing.

***  Oh THE OLD MOO has ordered a cot quilt from me too! She just loves that new fabric.  ***

For the second day in a row, Stew came home empty handed from the supermarket.  Not because they were closed, but because the queue was far, far too long.  It's damn crazy. 

So, no damn ice cream.  Oh well... like I needed it.  I'm craving sweet things though.  We have nothing in the house that is sweet to eat.  I might have to  make a dessert.  Might be apple crumble.

7.15 pm:  Stew cooked Spag Bog for dinner, super yum.

I got this far with the 2nd Bird Runner today:

ABOVE:  I was sewing the eyes on and managed to stab my finger ... bled like a stuck pig.  Before I could help it, I got a drop of blood on the runner.
So I had to stop and immediately get it cleaned off... so now it's drying.
I'll get it finished tomorrow.

The rest of tonight is dedicated to relaxing again.

Stew has gone to the supermarket again... hoping there is no queue now?


And success!  There was NO queue at 7.30 pm.  So he got the things we needed.  And some ice cream.

I'm off to bed a bit earlier then usual tonight, there is NOTHING worth watching on the TV tonight.
