GOING TO POTTER

 

It's back to 'normal' here today.

Stew is off to work, and I shall potter around the house, sorting more stuff out.

My biggest priority will be trying to get a bit more OUT of the garage so I can fit in more of my fabrics.

Cos as ya know, I bought 'a bit more' on our trip down to Palmerston North.

ABOVE:  I crammed them all into one collage for my records.  I like to record where I got various fabric from, in case I want more.

A few more photos from yesterday:

ABOVE: Leaving Palmerston North yesterday morning, following a 'WIDE LOAD'.  First time ever we really thought, yep, that IS a really wide load.  

ABOVE: I was impressed with how the rear trailer had independent wheels.  It was a tight turn, but they did it.

ABOVE: We saw these ornaments in a shop in Taihape.  Stew thought we should get one for our garden.  Maybe not.  Tempting though. 😂😅😆

 

ABOVE:  We stopped at this stream, which runs under the main road, by the mountains.  It was still very snowy/icy on the side of the hill.  And it was midday.

ABOVE:  So beautiful, clean and FREEZING!

ABOVE: We stopped by the stream to gather a new mountain stream rock.  I'm quite sure our last one is back at our previous home, along with MANY, MANY other rocks I've gathered over the years.

I did bring some to this house, but not many.  So, the collecting starts again.  😉😊

ABOVE:  Mt Ngauruhoe was looking stunning again yesterday.

ABOVE:  X's 4.  Some happy snaps of Taupo.  

ABOVE:  We got two new little houses in a gift shop in Taihape. We already had the one in the middle.

ABOVE:  I have been looking for quite some time for those fish placemats... finally found them at The Interiors Barn in Tirau.

We got a couple of other things in various shops, which I will show you another day.  Two are gifts for people.  

Moving on... time to get a move on, shit won't get done on it's own.

I have been pottering in the garage since 7.30.  It is now 9.45 and I've just finished finding places for all my fabrics.

ABOVE:  I am shocked to discover, I have room for more!   YES!!!!

Now though, I am stopping and putting the heat pump on.  This little house is FREEZING. 

11 am:  And I took myself out for a little walk.  I didn't go far or fast, just starting back with the fitness/walking ... little steps. 

After lunch I did what I needed to do.  I had a nap, with a blankie and two hot pods.  It was wonderful.  I actually went to sleep.  When I woke TWO HOURS LATER, I felt so good.  Clearly needed that.

I then spent a couple of hours just pottering around the house, tweaking areas/cupboards and so on.  That will no doubt continue for... ever! lol

It is now 5.30 pm, and I'm sitting with the blankie and hot pods again.  Watching the telly.  I should fold up the washing, but MEH... it can wait.

10.21 pm:  Watching Coronation Street... once it's finished I'm off to bed.  I'm looking forward to another really good night's sleep.  Last night I had the electric blanket on it's lowest setting... and I slept almost all night long.  Amazing, when you haven't had a decent night's sleep in MONTHS. 

Catch ya tomorrow.
