During Levels 3 & 4 you can go to a store and do 'Click & Collect'.
Last time we were in hard lockdowns, I never did click and collect.
Yesterday was a first time for me...
Mine was 2 - 2.30 pm.
So I joined a huge queue...
It is rather a neat way of shopping I must say. No walking into the store to find what you want, they bring it out to you. I liked that.
Maybe not the long wait though.
I doubt I will need to do it again. We might only be in Level 3 until next week all going well.
Then the shops will open again and everyone can go mad after being cooped up at home.
I wonder if my parcel of fabrics will arrive today?
Be neat if they did. I'm dying to see what she chose for me!
I will be working on the next 3 blue gnomes today. I've not even cut them out yet! So... that's me plan.
Housework, then sewing.
I'm fairly consistent in what I'm doing lately eh? 😉😊
1 pm: Awesome news! Our Covid numbers came down a good amount today.
Fingers crossed that continues.
More awesome news... me parcel of fabric arrived...
And oh shit... now we have trouble!
I just discovered more fonts that I can use!
How much fun am I gunna have now!
Ha ha ha... this is gunna be AWESOME!
But for now.... i'M HEADING BACK TO ME SEWING ROOM.

The shop owner's name is Robyn, and she is just lovely.
6.20 pm: Ha ha ha! I had pork belly out for dinner.
Got sewing... forgot to put it in the oven.
We are having Fish 'n' chips for dinner now.
No different from 'normal' really. We ring and place our order, and pick it up after about 10 minutes. The only change is Stew has to pick it up from the shop's front door, not inside the shop.
Well dinner was really yum. So nice to not cook and have the kitchen look like a bomb site!
NOT that I clean it up. Stew always does the dishes.
I'm a bit lucky eh?
And on that note, I'm outta here. It's 11 pm and I'm tired.
Catch ya tomorrow.
My son has been using curbside pick up for a year and a half now. I still go to stores but mask up!
ReplyDeleteLove click n collect , it’s a nice drive to get there n no seeing other things n buying them while I am there .
ReplyDeletePurpose shopping 🛒 though for me is a new discipline,
Have a fab day
Cheers 🥂
Because we are still in level 4 we cannot even do that yet. I was talking to one of my clients yesterday who is hanging out for level 3so she can order paint and repaint her house :-)
ReplyDeleteI have been doing curbside since March 2020 - pharmacy, Target, grocery and I don’t think I will go back to in-store shopping. Curbside is so efficient and I stick to my list, no impulse. I had a hard time getting my mom (age 80) to try curbside, now she said she is sticking with it permanently too.
ReplyDeleteLove that you back sewing again, I love seeing your creativity
ReplyDeleteI've not done click and collect but I have had stuff delivered/posted. So glad to see you sewing again.
ReplyDeleteI'm dying to go and buy a few things but I'm making a list. I'm over this lockdown. Been sitting in carpark in sun at Drs for 1/2 hour waiting for my face to face appt!!! $100 gone in a week. Had phone consult Mon. No better. Kj

Wow those Grey's are gorgeous. Where did you get them from? Kj
ReplyDeleteOMG - she rocked the gray/silver choices! They are fabulous.
ReplyDeletePork Belly.
ReplyDeleteI had never heard of Pork Belly prior to reading your blog. Now - if I EVER see pork belly on a menu (very rare)..... It is what I order.
do not torture us with 36,394 typefaces! As a former professional typographer, I would be in agony!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYum I miss fish and chips. We were gona have pork sausages but ended up having pizza lol was so good.
ReplyDeleteI would love fish and chips but the only decent one is outside our 5km limit. Enjoy!
