CLICK AND COLLECT

 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... 

ABOVE:  Mitre 10 gives you a 30 minute 'window' when you can pick up your items.
Mine was 2 - 2.30 pm.
So I joined a huge queue...

ABOVE:  I just scraped in during my time slot.  

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...

ABOVE:  LOOK AT THEM!  So awesome.  I'm not going to run outta grey/silver Christmas fabric in a hurry now.

ABOVE:   THE boys doing their school work. PHOTO SENT TO ME BY bEX.
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.
Karen :  tis the season, Whitianga.  wwwtistheseason.co.nz

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.

  4. I 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.
