. . . and no-one about. Haven't even heard a tractor or quad bike today, which is unusual. Some days, loneliness creeps in. Yesterday was one of those. I felt a bit lost by mid-afternoon and noting that my steps were well down for the day, I abandoned sewing and drove into town, parked in Co-op and had a walk down the town and went window-shopping, and did a circuit of the town and then back up the steep hill to Co-op again.
I must have been putting that vibe out as Gabby said she felt I was low in spirits, and that was why she phoned. Just chatting to her cheered me up and improved my evening (more sewing!) I got these hexies sewn up:
They were cut out and hemmed on Friday and sewn together yesterday evening. I found a fat quarter sized piece of the red fabric in my stash, and the blue one is the fabric I bought from Ebay. It matches well with the pattern already used in the quilt. I am doing the tacking with one of my very many old reels of proper cotton, in a colour I am unlikely to use. It is a pleasure to sew with and so much better than the man-made stuff.
Yesterday morning I made bread (a half and half loaf, sprinkled with fresh black pepper and sea salt.
This morning I made a hearty soup with gammon, tomatoes, vegetables and then added a tin of spicy Taco beans towards the end. That hit the spot on a chilly day. I have enough for about another 4 lunches I think.
I have spent an hour or so this morning making the envelope back for the Llwyn Celyn cushion and it is now finished. I'm very pleased with it.
Tomorrow I will have to take Alfie to the vet to have his abscess checked as the hole I found was from the bite, and the abscess is still forming above it, and hard to touch. He is comfortable enough and eating, but I don't want it to worsen.
