Easter Sunday

I have to say, this Easter Sunday is not a great deal different to most East Sundays as we make a point not to go out to the beach or anywhere reasonably local due to the heavy traffic on the roads.  Tomorrow would have been different though, as in normal times we would have been off to the Easter Bank Holiday Monday Fleamarket at Malvern - perhaps the busiest one of the year.  Ah well, next year, hopefully . . .

I am on Pollen Lockdown now.  I pushed my luck last week by not thinking any Birch trees were in blossom in our valley (certainly not many Birch trees grow here).  However, the hot temperatures have made the Oaks suddenly put out leaves and blossom and we have a line of those behind the house along the top field fenceline.  The past two I only went outside if I had a mask on, my hair covered in a scarf and and outside jumper on (changed when inside). But even being on steroids didn't stop it so I have had to stay totally inside today, shut all the doors and generally behave myself.

I have been very very slowly putting on the pre-quilted border of my applique centre quilt.  I have had to carefully fold back and pin the backing and batting first.  My patchwork teacher Alex would thoroughly approve of how incredibly slow and steady I went!

I have to bodge (no, sort out PROPERLY) two corners and then I can start to sew the 9 patch border together.  Sewed all those last year.

Tea tonight was Fridge-Bottom Pizza:

using up Cherry Tomatoes (we bought a kilo bag with our order last week), cheese, sliced cooked potato, rosemary, and garlic oil.  I FEEL FAT now.
