I haven't stopped bobbing from one small job to the next. Painting in the yard may get lost, I want a rest!!

I never did get round to doing that painting.... Now I am going to try for a sleep.....

I am dealing with broken sleep again and running early so I won't do any forecasting beyond saying that my next engine related task is painting the castings. Let's see how we get on......

Morning

Despite yesterdays red sky in the morning we had a dry and sometimes sunny day reaching 10 degrees. We walked into town, I left Bob at the optician for his hearing test then I went for a walk round the shops, a rare event, and bought a present for Julia ´s birthday which is just after New Year. I spent some time looking for a nice wine coloured ´dressy’ top to go with my new suit but fund nothing that I liked. We now have a good selection of popular clothes shops,( Next, H&M, River Island’ New Look and M&S) plus a few more boutique type shops which were full of nice things but not what I was looking for .

This morning i shall sort out a small problem we have with Lucy’s skirt. I don’t know what is wrong but suspect it is the pattern, I have already found ne error in the pattern. Lucy is coming tomorrow to try and finish the skirt so I need to résolve this. Being Friday its lunch out with the usual 4. Have a good day all. Its due to be 10 and cloudy with a short shower this morning

Morning Sue! I am watching the weather, if it improves I might even do the painting!
Have a good day whatever it does!

Sun's out.

Yesterday afternoon was very satisfactory, I got out there and painted my castings....



But then things got even better. The postman turned up with two parcels that were overdue. This was good for one thing immediately, I could give him my annual Xmas box. Then the parcels, one easily dealt with, a 350gm pot of E45 Dermatological Cream bought for £10.99 when in Barlick it is £16 at Well. Next was a Sycamore chopping board I had ordered, My old one was so worn it was going to develop a hole in the middle!
It is slightly too big but I knew that and here you see it on the work surface with the old one. When it comes daylight I shall go into the back yard and saw it down to the line and sand the cut.

Morning

It was an ok day yesterday, I quickly sorted out Lucy’s skirt in the morning, and then generally relaxed, doing a jigsaw that we started on Friday. Its a complicated one and will keep us occupied till Christmas. We had a good lunch with the usual 4, Wendy and Keith arriving a bit late as they were having new blinds fitted in the lounge.

This morning the two of us will clean, Bob vacuuming whilst I do the wet cleaning and dusting.. i shall also do some towel washing. Its due to be dry, if there is a little breeze I may get them dried outside. This afternoon Lucy is coming to finish her skirt. A dry cool day is forecast, have a good day all

We have a strange forecast today Sue. The forecast says bright, sunny and dry but we have a yellow warning of rain. No doubt all will become clear later.



I finished the chopping board and oiled it and it is now in place on the work top. A good upgrade to the facilities!
With a bit of luck we'll have a pleasant day. I hope you can have the same Sue....
