FOAM BOARD WORKS

 

You know when you buy a big bag of salad and it goes all brown and soggy?  COOKIES  don't do that.

Just sayin'.

Half way through APRIL...  the time is racing by!

We will be in May before we know it.  Our moving month.

Stew's favourite number is 8.  This new home of ours will be our 8th home.  There is another special number associated with this house too... which is a sign it is the right place for us. 

Which is good, because for the longest time, I've been totally unhappy about this house!  I kept thinking it was TOO SMALL.... but everyone has told me I will adjust.

And I know I will eventually, I just have to keep telling myself it is right for us NOW, at this stage of our life.

Last night Lynda suggested we use drawing pins to hold the Round Table Topper to the Foam Board.

I tried it out:

ABOVE:  It worked really well using push pins, thanks for the suggestion Lynda.  I probably won't cut the board down, as I can use the bottom bit for pinning coasters on.  When I make some to match.

My plans for today involve the freakin usual Monday jobs.  Washing.  Water plants.  General tidy up.

Then I might start my new project.  More on that once I have it made.

Another thing I have to do today is ring our Green waste bin supplier, and arrange our LAST EVER PICK UP for next month.

At our new home, all of that is taken care of by the Village Management.  No more gardening for us.  Though I can put plants in the gardens to my hearts content, we just don't have to do the weeding!  How cool is that.

I'm off to the chemist first thing... my calf muscle pinged again last night.  I'm going to get a compression thingee to help support my calf.

It is not my achillies tendon playing up, as the pain is right in the middle of my calf muscle.  So it's a muscle tear or strain.  Rest would help it, but like, can you see me sitting on me arse all day?  I sure in hell can't.  I will try the compression thing first, and Deep Heat cream.

ABOVE:  Visitors arrived, so I cooked them some food and we enjoyed a visit.  Keera is staring at me wondering how the hell I know where all the keys are on the keyboard.  Hard to explain how you learn to touch type... back in the day we had OLD AS FUCK typewriters, and the keyboard was covered with a cloth that was around the typewriter and then over our heads!   It meant you simply couldn't see the keys.

So there ya go.

LACY IS NOW GOING TO TYPE TO SHOW HOW FUCKING GOOD SHE IS AT IT:

so now lacty is having a go because she is gust glugging amazing im a a tasd ogg as i gave not gad much practice hahaha and they are noth watching me like nlinnken gallatz hahahah.

What she meant to type was :  ... So now Lacy is having a go because she is just fluffing amazing I'm a tad off as I have not had much practice hahaha and they are both watching me like fluffin gallahs hahaha.

ABOVE:  Finally finished this WASJIG, it was one of the hardest I've done.  I might have to go and buy another one soon.

But right now, I am about to go out and buy a thing for my leg.  

ABOVE: Well this is the only thing I could find to help support my calf muscle.  It's a compression sock type thing, without the 'sock' component.

Fingers crossed it helps.

ABOVE: While out and about, I got a few more supplies for my new project.  

Keera is coming over again this afternoon, so she can work on a project as well.

For now though, I shall put my leg up and give it a rest.

It is so hot here in the family room I am finding it hard not to fall asleep!

I might have to watch a movie or doco to stay awake.

We worked until Stew arrived home at 6 pm, then it was 'down tools' and time to be inside with Granddad.  Might have to feed the child ... hmmm....  what to throw her way?  😂😅😉

We all had some lovely Dino Chicken Nuggets!  They were so yum, particularly with Sweet 'n' Sour sauce.  Stew and Keera had some potato wedges as well.

We are now winding down ... sending jabba jaws off to bed soon!  She's wearing me out I tell ya.

Catch ya tomorrow.
