A very positive day

 

I finished Mrs Cat Loves Knitting last night, and was pleased with the way she had turned out.

This morning I got going straight after breakfast.  We had a scheduled power cut for 3 hours, so I planned to go out for part of that time.  Here is the morning's tick list:

Change bed and put first load of washing on ready for power to return.  Tick.

Yoga.  Tick.

Use the Karcher Window Vac to get the condensation off the windows.  Tick.

Cold wash Seasalt dress, get worst of wetness off rolled up in towel and hang outside on to blow around a bit.  Tick.

Drive up the road to see K about the water supply.  Had a nice chat with his wife, and then K came back to the yard and said that my neighbour had helped sort it, digging down to the pipe - which had been pushed apart under the water pressure because of having a fox's brush of tree roots in it.  All sorted.  Tick.

Go to PO and pay in cheque.  Tick.

Get remaining stuff out of the car and tidy away.  Tick.

Empty clothes from suitcase and put in black bin liners.  Tick.

Look out next sewing project, and photocopy the patterns for the applique.  Tick.

Make a start on it (Christmas wallhanging), by cutting out backgrounds and tacking together.  Tick.

Phone auction for an appt. to drop some things off at weekend.  Tick.

Check attic for more "stuff" to go.  Tick.

Find another embroidery project to start - a lovely pre-printed alphabet one.  I have started doing the black grid dividing the letters/pictures.  Tick.

Whilst doing the latter I have been watching a lovely wildlife programme (series of 4): Hamza's Hidden Wildlife Isles.  I watched Spring and Summer.  Wonderful television.

Here is the alphabet.  It will be lovely to work on.

Have a nice weekend everyone.
