OUT AND ABOUT... AND IKKKK, GROCERY SHOPPING

 Today I'm heading out bright and early.

Lacy and I are going to do some girly stuff in town, a mother/daughter morning.

Should be great.

Then... bloody hell, I have to do the grocery shopping.

That shouldn't take me too long thank goodness.

Then I'm gunna probably have a walk on the treadmill, then do some sewing.

But... I might not either!

Nothing is set in concrete.

Late yesterday I did this out the front of my shop:

ABOVE: I added little strips of the flag fabric.  Looking at it now, I see it could do with a couple on the right hand side too, but not blocking the entrance.

Stew is working on how to fix my other 'thingee' out the front safely.  It will no doubt get sorted on the weekend.

Did you know that we have now been in this home for a whole year?  Yep.  We moved in on the 5th of December last year.  That date slipped by unnoticed until I remembered last night.

It's been a very difficult year I must say.  For everyone in the world really... we are not the only people who've had a dreadful year.

But I tend to think we have had a particularly bad year all things considered.

MY GOD I hope next year is 100% better!

And well... that's all I have for now.

Catch ya later on.

ONWARD...

12.20 pm: And I'm finally home after a very busy morning.

Lacy and I went into town for a while, then we mozzied on out to Chartwell Square for brunch.

ABOVE:  LONG GONE are the days when you just got some food, sat down and ate it.

OH No!  Now you have to 'arrange' said food, photograph it, photograph YOURSELF with it... and then finally, you can eat it!

Just a bit funny.  There was a little elderly lady across from us on her own.  She engaged us in conversation a couple of times, so I ended up going and sitting with her and having a good old chin wag.  She LOVED it!

Good deed of the day done.  And I actually rather enjoyed myself too.

Ran into a friend there as well... and she was is hysterics when I plonked myself down with the elderly lady for a yak.  lol

I used to 'eat my emotions'.  NOW?

Oh shit, I think I shop them.

Because we were at Chartwell Square, I just had to pop into Taking Shape, to see if there was anything new?

And yes... they had heaps of new stuff.

ABOVE:  I just love this dress.  Got it obviously.

And then there was a jumpsuit ... old stock, so heavily marked down.

ABOVE: I thought it looked 'OK' in the shop, but now that I've looked at it properly at home... I LOVE IT!

I've never had anything that had that sort of shoulder detail before.   And can't say I've ever worn an animal print before either?  Can't remember.

What do you think of it?

Well... I just spent the last couple of hours in my sewing room.  Chopping up all three of my jumpsuits!

ABOV:  All three of them had these weird extra bits out the sides ... and I hated them.

ABOVE:  So, off they came!  I can't think why you would put that extra freakin' bit out there?  Just a dumb arse idea to me.

I'm now even happier with my jumpsuits.

I have not done the grocery shopping.  I just decided it could wait.  There's enough food in the house for now, so why worry?  Just because it's 'shopping week' doesn't mean it has to get done right now.

Alright... it's been a quiet evening.  Shit all on the TV, so I watched some You Tube instead.

And now... time for bed.

Catch ya tomorrow.
