MONDAY ROLLS AROUND AGAIN

 

Well, even though the weather forecast is a bit shitty, I am going to pack up my sewing trolley and head down to the Craft Room this morning.  Luckily I have made a waterproof rain cover for the trolley ... just in case it pisses down.

That will be after I've been for my little walk of course.  I will get some washing on as well, because I didn't do any in the weekend.

I will be doing placemats today in craft group... no surprises there at all.  I have two weeks to go till our next market, so I really should get on with them.  I kinda procrastinated last week and only got 13 finished.  

ABOVE:  Look at my gorgeous flower!  I can't remember what plant it is, but it's the first time it's had flowers.  It's in a big pot in our front garden.

ONWARD...

8.30 am, and clearly the weather forecast is wrong.  It's a stunningly beautiful day right now.

And my walk will not happen until this evening now, it's just too hot for me out there.

So on with the washing and so on...

2 pm and I'm thankful I thought to take the raincover and umbrella 🌂  down to the craft room. We've had a huge downpour a few minutes ago. 

I have just quilted 16 placemats. Time to stop and yak. 😊

ABOVE: Three straight hours and 16 placemats quilted.  I was just settling down to yak with the ladies and my phone went.

It was Brylee, and she was on her way to visit me.  So I hot footed it home and got there just before her.

We had a really nice visit, then she left and I settled down to enjoy an hour or so's peace.  My back and shoulder need a break.

OH and I got home in between some heavy rain/thunder and lightening.  Rather lucky.

5.35 pm, and damn.  I won't be going for a walk this evening as it is fair pissing down.  Frustrated.  Maybe Stew and I can go down to the gym and get a walk in there, on the treadmill.

I'll see how he feels about that idea when he gets home, which shouldn't be too long now.

7 pm, and we decided not to go down to the gym.  Just too wet and meh.  We had a good walk yesterday, so I can wait until tomorrow for my next one.

Not much else on the agenda for the day, so I'm signing off.

Catch ya tomorrow.

  4. Enjoy the day.
    I am working - double hard , because Hubby has a bum arm. However - I can sit and watch TV for entertainment. I need recommendations though. Netflix, apple tv, tubi, etc... The choices are overwhelming!

    I thought that flower looked like an azalea. Mine looks similar. But I'm no botanist! It's beautiful. xx Colleen

  6. Rhododendron it is and a lovely colour.

    Yes the weather is very changeable at the moment.

    That’s a great stash of sewing to get done my rostered day off and I’ve cleaned haha.

  7. Having a visit with Brylee certainly made it a great day. Those placemats can wait just a bit.
