HAD A THOUGHT...

 

We have a 'formal' event to attend this Thursday, here in the village.

I was tossing up between a rather colourful dress I already have, or leggings and a new white top.

ABOVE:   I really like the black/white option, BUT am terrified of dropping something on my front during dinner.  I do it ALL.  THE.  TIME.

So I've been trying to work out how I can still wear the white top, but not have to worry about spillages.

I think I've worked it out!   

I will take a photo of the solution a bit later on, once it's lighter inside.  *I will be wearing black dress boots on the night, not sneakers.

Today is Craft Group, so I'm going to gather up some stuff to work on, and put it in my trolley, in readiness for later on this morning.

After I've done that, I am going online to suss out things we can do in Christchurch.

Top of the list?  Visit Sew & Co at the Tannery of course!  Fabric.  We are packing LIGHT, just in case I have to buy some fabric.  *snort*

ONWARD...

10.35 am.   I've been working on what to wear, considering all the comments re: Leggings.

First of all, here's the solution to the spillage problem:

ABOVE:  My black, pure wool cape thingee that I bought in Bellingen on the 12th of October, 2020.

I can take it off after dinner if I want to.  Still got leggings on here.

ABOVE:  Long, flowy black pants.

ABOVE:  Found these too... pants, not so flowy.

So, I still love the leggings.  But might go with the not so flowy pants yet.

And now, I'm off to Craft Group.

2.30 pm.  I came home from Craft Group a bit early today as I'm feeling a bit ikkk.

I got acid reflux badly overnight, so didn't get much sleep.  Had to literally sit upright from 10.30 pm till about 5 am!  

Therefore, I'm bloody tired as F.

I did get these made in C.G. :

ABOVE:  I love using up bits n pieces of fabric which would otherwise go to waste.

Now... I'm going to have a freakin' nana nap.

7.29 pm, and NOPE, I did not have a freakin' nana nap after all.  I was so, so tired, but could not get to sleep.  So I just lay in bed with the electric blanket on and scrolled the 'net.

Coco was doing 'zoomies' up and down the hallway, having a ball.  She's so cute.

Stew arrived home and got on the exercycle.  I might a bit later on this evening, depending how I'm feeling.  I'm still feeling rather ikk.  Just over tired I reckon.

I just got a hire car sorted out for when we are  in Christchurch.  It gives us total freedom to go where we want, when we want. 

I had looked into doing a day tour, to like Akaroa/Cruise on the harbour, but OMG... they want an arm and a leg and lots of $$$'s.  Just not going to do that. 

We will probably wing it each day, but I do have an idea of a few places we can go.

And on that happy note... cos it's been a productive day overall... catch ya tomorrow.
