ONE THING AFTER THE OTHER

 

I have a little list of things to get done today.

First up is my walk.

Then I am going to The Base for a few things, and Pak n Save for some groceries.

After that I will be going to our local Sports Club to VOTE.  Might as well get it done and over with before Saturday, when the hordes will be voting.

Once all that is done I'll come home and continue working on these:

ABOVE:  I started 9 kitten placemats yesterday, so today I will sew the backing fabric on and they will be done.

Then I'll move on to another lot.  

I wonder how long it will take me to get all 59 new placemats made???

And yes, it is Guy Fawkes Day, and we will be doing.... NOTHING.  I have no intention of wasting money, or adding to the chaos/noise and terror for animals by getting fireworks.  Hopefully no damage is done to homes/vegetation or animals.

I'm pretty sure that is all I have on today.   Catch ya later.

ONWARD...

ABOVE:  I was looking at my zoo photos last night and noticed .... a sparrow flying over the giraffe.  I thought it was awesome.

Slight change of plans... one of my dear new friends here has talked me into attending Coffee & Chat this morning.  Something I was phasing out of my weekly go to's.  So everything is pushed back a bit... but will still happen.

Let's hope it's not a pain in the arse (and ears) again.  

So Coffee & Chat was OK today.  No jabber jaws, and mostly pleasant company. There was a birthday morning tea 'shout', and I had  NONE of it.  I did bring home a couple of pieces of slice for Stew, he likes to be included.  lol

Lots of TICKS ... I got all my jobs done, except going to Pak n Save.  That can wait till tomorrow.

I felt rather shaky and needed food, so I'm home now and cooking my lunch.   At 1 pm, so not too late in the day.

This morning I was wearing 3/4 tights and a lightweight jumper... but when I was ready to go out... it was getting warm. So I changed into this:

ABOVE:  This gorgeous linen dress.  I am thinking it's the start of 'summer dresses' time.  I just have to get my summer slip on jandals out now.

4.25 pm:  I really should look in the mirror before leaving the house!  I just realised I went out and about wearing two entirely different earrings! What a twat.

And no one at C & C said a thing!  Nice people.  

Though a heads up would have been good I think.  lol

7.40 pm and we have just arrived home from the pub.  

When we were about to set off on foot for the pub, it started to rain.  So we went in my car.  Thank goodness we did that!

Because by the time we got up to the pub is was ABSOLUTELY PISSING DOWN!  Torrential rain, some thunder too.

I think it rained more in the next hour than it has rained in months!

When I left the pub to visit the kids, the rain was so heavy I could hardly see to drive, and the roads were flooded.

ABOVE: This was near Steve 'n' Bex's home... the water was up on the footpaths, and there were whirlpools as the water tried to get down the drains.

Luckily, it settled down after an hour or so, and the water drained away eventually.

At least I didn't have to water the gardens today.  😊

We are now going to enjoy the remainder of the evening just blobbing out watching the telly.

Catch ya tomorrow.
