FBG WALK

 

Right, fingers crossed the weather is playing nice today, as I want to attend an FBG walk in Cambridge this morning.

I haven't caught up with my FBG friends in quite a while, so it would be nice if today's walk happens.  

I will need to leave fairly early (for me), as the walk is at 9am. 

It's BLACK FRIDAY, luckily I'm not superstitious at all.  But it does mean we are bound to be hammered with 'Black Friday' SALES.  Meh.  You have to be damn careful of those 'sales'. Sometimes they ain't a bargain at all, just 'tweaked' prices to make it seem like you are getting a lower price.  Live long enough, you get to see all the tricks retailers play.

Sooooo, anyway, I better get outta bed soon and get ready to skid the wheels.

ONWARD...

11.20 am, and I'm just home from my walk with the FBG's.  NO photos right now, as I rely on sending my photos via email to myself, then I edit them and post them on here.  But MICROSOFT is down, so I can't do that right now.

And I'm also not getting ANY COMMENTS as they come via email as well!   So, hopefully you send me a comment and I get it once the outage is over?


ABOVE: I found another way to get photos on here... but it's not ideal.  I can't 'tweak' them at all... so they are a bit dull and colourless.  

We walked around the area of Cambridge we used to live in, but the new housing part of it. It's changed so much in the past 7 years!


ABOVE:   I finally found a way to use up a bit more of my 'Singapore Jacket'.  I'm going to use bits of it for an apron that I can wear to markets.

ABOVE:  I have a couple of old jeans I picked up from an Op Shop to use as well.  I think I need to find one more pair of darker denim jeans as well.

I think I will go out after lunch to find them... 

OH and Tracy, I don't know how your comment got through!  I'm not had any emails since very early this morning.  Microsoft is still down.

Felicity, how did that get through???  I'm thinking you don't use Outlook/Microsoft to send emails?

Right, it's now 4.05 pm and the email server is still down!  So annoying.

I went to the op shop and got more jeans, most were $8.

ABOVE:  I should have enough now to have some nice colour changes on the apron.

I did a little bit of cutting out of that denim tonight, but nah, it can wait till tomorrow.
I'm tired and looking forward to bed.
Catch ya tomorrow.

  1. Bloody email outage. I can draft all my renewal emails & they are in the outbox but many of the office can’t even do that - or just can’t be arsed so it is very noisy & unproductive today.

  7. The denim apron looks cool ... and the front pockets could be tailored to hold your takings if you wanted. Have a lovely weekend ahead 😀
