Just a bit of this and that!

Last Week’s This and That

Well, there was excitement plus in my life last week!

To cut a long story short, I spent half the day last Tuesday at emergency with my Dad who had had a fall…

As usual, it was busy:

Thank goodness I had my yarn basket with me!!

Unfortunately, I didn’t have scissors… do you know how many pairs of embroidery scissors I own?????

A LOT!

Somehow I am down to only one that I can find, and it was clipped on this basket.. but obviously, I took it out to use for something else and there I was, crocheting the time away and trying to break the thread with my hands… a kind nurse took pity on me and gave me these:

I am going to make a special pocket in my basket to keep it (or another pair of scissors) there…..

Dad did all sorts of tests and thankfully everything was well – except that he tested positive for covid…. Since I work in the healthcare industry and I spent more than 4 hours with him, I was considered a close contact and was not allowed to return to work for the rest of the week…. forced holiday!

And what does one do with a forced holiday?

Go camping for a few days….

They were burning stubble in the paddocks all around us, so I think that is why the sun was that color…

Sylvie came with us of course… and when I made up the bed the first night she quickly went to what she thought was her spot:

Jolly good thing she is cute… it took a bit of convincing her to sleep at my feet and not on my pillow!!

Clean out the pantry….

This is before… I am hoping to finish this week and show you the after next week! Many of you thought it was fun to see what was in my fridge last week – I’m sure you’ll have fun with my pantry! There’s all sorts of stuff in there!!

This Week’s This and That

Well, I am hoping there will be no surprises this week!! One thing I am really happy about is that Daylight Savings is over!

Yay!

I don’t like it at all… my body feels out of sorts the whole time, so I am pleased we are back into normal time and heading for winter!

All the blog posts I missed out on posting last week hopefully will get done this week….

I still need to print out my new planning pages…. and fill them in, but until then I have my list below:
