LESSON LEARNT

 

On Monday, when I fell and hurt my knees, we ended up at the Akaroa Pharmacy.  The pharmacist dressed my knees ... and all I could think of was "FUCK, I haven't shaved my legs in months!"

And yep, the hair on my legs was LONG.  Like so long I was horribly embarrassed.

LESSON LEARNT.

Never stop shaving your legs, even in winter.  You never know when you might end up being ashamed of your hairy legs!

So, this morning I am going to shave my legs, that will take a little while. 😂😅😖

While I do that, Stew will do the 'weekend' grocery shop.

And after that we shall probably go out for lunch.

I was curious about how heavy my fabric haul from the South Island was?  It was SEVEN KILOS!  I'm damn lucky we packed light, because our bags were both JUST UNDER the allowed weight on our flight home.

I have not put that fabric away yet, that will be another job for later on today.

There's another smaller Braid Runner laid out on the work table, so I will try and get that sewn up in time for Sunday's market, either today or tomorrow.

ONWARD...

11.59 and we are sitting down at The Foundation, The Base, waiting for lunch. 

I just ordered some new glasses, progressives for wearing out and about. I have two pairs of glasses already,  one is for distance/driving, and the other is for resding/computer.  I decided while we were away having just one pair would be so much easier than having to keep changing glasses. 

I hope I like progressives. I had them before, many years ago. But my memory of them is long gone.

I got all the new fabrics away this morning, legs deforested, and Stew got the groceries in. So tick tick.

ABOVE:  Lunch, we both had the Lamb Sandwich, which was so lovely.  I would be happy to just have half a bun with the mint jelly on it, cos that's the part I love the most.  It is served with chunky fries, but I couldn't eat mine, they will be for Stew's dinner.  I also didn't eat all the bun, it's just too big.  Fine if you have a huge appetite!

After lunch we visited Steve and the boys, Bex and Lily were at the zoo with a girlfriend.

Home now, and looking forward to a quiet afternoon.  The sun is out, so nice to see it after 4 days of cloud, fog and rain in Christchurch.  And it is a bit warmer here today too.

7 pm, and the afternoon/evening has gone exactly as planned.  Relaxed.

Time to sign off for the day. 

Catch ya tomorrow.

  1. Your knees and legs look just fine. I think you should skip the shave.

    My leg hair is very blond (assuming yours is too) and very fine. I stopped shaving them long ago.

    Be careful with the progressives. They can upset your vision at the start. You dont want to have another fall. Kj

    I wore progressive lenses for years while at work (mainly for the computer) but now I just have single lenses for distance. I can read and use the computer without glasses and if needed you can buy magnifying ones from the pharmacy cheaply. It is certainly nice to see the sun. Audrey
