Quilt progress..and sorting.

 Today was a stay home and get things done day. Mainly getting wardrobe contents sorted and those that needed it, washed.

Our Fife friend will have a shirt that goes with his kilt and a tweed jacket..and I think there are other things that will suit him when he collects them in a couple of weeks.

I am sorting cold weather jackets and trousers for myself too...mine are worn out!

It was lovely to have a good warm drying day with a brisk breeze.

Last night's borlotti bean, chestnut and vege stew was boxed up in individual portions and went in the freezer...that is six meals sorted!

Then this afternoon start on the job of quilt designing...with help from my daughter...graphic designer..and quilter..by WhatsApp!!

I tried doing it on paper, but that wasn't working...so put pieces on the floor...

The next job is working out how to set the big blocks by each other

I have done it with numbers so far...but that's enough for tonight.

I had intended going for a walk....but quilt sorting got to be very absorbing...and it is good to fully concentrate on something.

cabin fever

Hemmed in by wind and rain.

Cluttered up by Stuff.

The "Dominos" are poised, with jobs in line,  but until one workshop gets up, nothing moves from the house. Until the wind abates, no workshop goes up.

The rainwater drainage needs cleaning so that the runoff doesn't soak the garden..back and front are like an over sodden sponge! At least the grey water drains look to be running ok.

There is another, thankfully local, cycle jumble in two weeks....The Pirate is sorting bike bits for that. If nothing sells, they will just have to go.....

At least then a small dresser and desk will leave the living room and my heavy real wood desk will migrate to its corner there. It is too heavy to carry upstairs!

The transmitter and receiver of the WiFi boiler controls don't seem to be communicating..I think we'll leave that to a heating engineer as it probably isdue for a service. Meanwhile, the on/off switch works!

Teething problems adding more un-needed stress. Which inhibits the Pirate's healing....but we are getting there slowly.

Yesterday he bought me dress and shoes to wear at an award ceremony (I won a national championship last year).
Buying goes against the grain with me...even worse,buying new!! Still, he  does have good taste!!
