DUMP RUN

 


I have a couple of things on my 'to do' list today.

1. Take rubbish to the dump.

2.  Pick up our new vanity handles from Mitre 10.

I might get our new clothes line while at Mitre 10 as well.  Stew can install it on the weekend.

Stew is returning to work today.  I hope he isn't in too much pain, and one or other of the drugs the Dr gave him actually work.  Hopefully he hears from the Dr today with the results of the ultrasound he had yesterday.

Today will be another day I miss going to Mosaic group.  I just have too much on my mind right now... and I'm thinking of giving it up.  I don't think it's 'my thing' really.  Next time I go I'll donate all my supplies to the group and be done with it. 

It has taken me quite a while to come to that decision, but I'm happy with it.  My sewing and new activities here in the Village will take up my 'spare' time from now on.

And that's me for now.

Catch ya later.


11.29 am:  And a successful morning by all means.

ABOVE:  I now have a drop down clothes line, which Stew can instal on the weekend.  I also picked up the new BLACK handles for the vanity.

The dump run was easy, but expensive.  So glad to have that rubbish gone though.
Then I couldn't find me phone in the car, in my backpack or in me hoodie pocket... PANIC stations!  Went back to the dump, in case it fell out of me pocket.  Nope.
So then I figured it had to be at home.
So home I went, and there it was, sitting beside my seat in the lounge.  Derrr. Panic over.

You don't realise how much you store on ya phone, till you 'lose' it.
I will be saving a lot of photos and passwords this afternoon!

After that, I took more stuff to the Op Shop as donations, then bought a couple more Sistema dishes for cooking in.
Home now, and contemplating lunch.

Can you believe it?  Cos I can't.  It's getting warmer!  I had on a really thick sweatshirt today, and nearly died of heatstroke.  Got home and literally ripped it off in desperation.  
I wonder if this means we shall have a really hot summer?

I'm already looking for a sun umbrella, with no luck.  And some new squabs for the deck chairs.  And a sun lounger.... gosh that's quite a list eh?

Shopping.  So much fun.  I think that's what gets me up in the morning, that, and sewing.  πŸ˜‚πŸ˜…

  3. Funny story. I dumped some bags of clothes into a charity bin. Couldn't find my phone in the car. After searching in a panic my car system kept saying it was nearby when I parked near bins. Luckily it was in top bag of clothes which given my lack of height was hard enough to get back out.

  4. That’s a productive morning you’ll be glad of the rubbish out of the way. There can’t be many little jobs left now ticking them off one by one.

  5. Google 'Samsung Cloud' - I presume you have a Samsung? It does the same thing that iPhones do and back everything up to the cloud. If you haven't got that set up then do it and you won't lose a single thing on your phone. If you lose it and need a new phone it simply puts the info back onto the new phone.
