Sunshine

​

We have had rain,  cold winds, and more rain. 

With very brief sunny moments every few days 

But, so far this week, we have managed to get two lovely days in a row 

I quickly got the washing done and hung out to dry in the sunshine. 

As you can see the rose garden has very long reeds growing again 

The battle continues and I won’t give up. 

I’ll attack them another day. When I have some energy again lol 

Yesterday I went to see my mum in her nursing home. 

When I got there they were going chair yoga. 

Then a musician was setting up to play and entertain them all 

I didn’t stay for the musical 

Just gave her the hankies she asked for. I don’t have name tags, and everything has to be named 

I remembered that it used to be posh to have monogram hankies 

I wrote her full name in heat disappearing inc, and stitched it in 

I have to say. It did work well. 

When I left I headed home stopping at the centre to get my nails done and pick up a few things 

I then headed off to get my meds. 

The pharmacy is in a little town about 10-15 minutes past my home. 

I picked up the meds. Them raced into the small supermarket to get some cottage cheese as I’d forgotten to get it earlier. 

Got home and made my cheese pies. I used up twenty eggs. 

Unfortunately ( well fortunately really )

Hubby collected another 7 or 8 eggs. 

The hens are doing a wonderful job keeping the supply up 

By the time I did all that I was exhausted 

Spent a few hours on the couch, listening to an audiobook, while working on my scrap hexi patchwork. 

Christmas preparations continue, with more lights now working. I had to buy batteries. 

Presents are under the trees with only a few more to get 

There the easy ones. Ugly Christmas socks and money for all four of my children. 

I’m so happy I purchased gifts throughout the year. Soon it will be much too crowded in the shopping centres. I’ll be avoiding them until the end of the festive season
