CAN YOU HAVE TOO MANY?

 How many different 'bags' do you have for various purposes?

I am wondering if I have a problem!

ABOVE:  I have several bags on the go.  Coco thinks I'm nuts of course. 

 

OH and Happy Birthday to Coco!  She is 13 today, and shares her birthday with my Dad, who would have been 89 today.

ABOVE:  Explanation?  Marley LOVES tennis balls.

But she also loves shoving them under furniture and rolls of batting, then DIGGING them out.

She ruined a large chunk of my latest roll of batting doing that.

So... I finally thought of a way she can have a tennis ball to chew to death, without doing any damage to my furniture or batting.  I attached a string to it and tied it to the table.

At the moment, she's a bit confused.

Give her time, she'll come around to enjoying it, without playing hide and seek with it. 

ABOVE:  And there ya go.  It didn't take her long to start stripping the fluff off that ball.  😂

Today?  Hmmm... probably just finish that Fish Runner, then perhaps start a couple more.

And I also need to ring and book my next Aqua Jog Class for next Wednesday.

You can only book for the following week, and only one class at a time.

So, if I want to go to next Wednesday's Jog Class, I have to book it this morning.  Same for every single Aqua session you want to attend.

It's slightly annoying, but seems they've had that system for years.

When I'm at the Aqua Fit class tomorrow, I can book for next Thursday's class then.

Right, I'm off to start me day.

Catch ya later.

10.59 am:  This morning, cos I was in the mood, I decided to go for a walk.  But not outside in the heat of the sun.

I took myself off to Chartwell Square.

ABOVE:  It's probably the most ram raided Mall in New Zealand!

Seriously.  It's like pretty much every week it is raided.

I see all the Hollywood Cafe's have closed down too.  Sad, they have been around forever.  Though I don't blame that one in Chartwell... it's right beside the front doors, which are now made of wood.

ABOVE: It was nice and quiet in the mall, so not too many people to dodge around as I walked.  I did 2.91 kms walking the entire length of the mall, both downstairs, then upstairs.  That was three 'laps' of the mall (top and bottom).

It felt good to be out there walking in relative comfort.  I didn't overheat.

After my walk, I went to the supermarket and bought 14 things, that cost $99.  Crazy prices.

Oh and a word of warning.  If you are shopping for things that have expiry dates at Countdown Rototuna, CHECK THE DATES.

I swear to god I picked up three things in the deli area that had grossly out of date ham/mussels/dips.  Like WEEKS over their USE BY DATE.  I gathered them up and took them up to the guy working in that area and gave them to him.

I didn't stick around long enough to see if he put them back on the shelf or not.  I hope he didn't.

Now that I'm home again, I'm going to fling open all the windows and then do some sewing.

It is a stunning Late Summer / Autumn day.

ABOVE:  And there ya have it, another one done.

I'm now taking a break for lunch.

Back later.

7.25 pm:  Clearly its much later!

I had a visit from Bex and her friend Ren this afternoon.  Ren is the girl I'm gifting all my painting supplies to.  She is thrilled to bit with it all.

After they left I made some cheesy scones, just enough for Stew and I to have 2 each.  Then I lay down with a sick headache and dozed until Stew got home.

I turned one of the front soaker hoses on mid afternoon, and totally forgot about it for 3 hours!  Whoops.  Well, at leas that garden is well watered.  lol

I'm going to sign off for the day now, and make sure I have everything I need for tomorrow's Aqua Class over the other side of town.  

Catch ya tomorrow.
