How's Everyone ?

[Elina]

What's your day been like? What mood are you in? Good or bad day for you?

Managed to get out yesterday after a bit of snow shovelling and gritting, I have a 4x4 and can get up to the drive to the badly cleared road, then have to negotiate loads of cars parked haphazardly all over the local roads and drivers reluctant to give way. Sometimes it's simpler to just not bother making the effort.

gnees, my mum was always brilliant on a sewing machine, not hand work like you, but it's a great skill to have. I have a sewing machine I use for repairs. It's a shame really I haven't learnt to follow a pattern, I tried with mum years ago. I really could do with joining a needlework class. Apparently, courses in needlework are much back in fashion after programmes such as 'Sewing Bee'

I have sew for as long as I can remember, Elina....and elderly lady taught me on her singer treadle machine.....

There do seem to be more classes now and lots of small help each other groups.....Stitch and ***.....☺

Oh....didn't know a female dog was not allowed..... :-(

Jordy, I read your thread. Got to say, it is frustrating when you have to repeat yourself over & over & the phone bill is clocking up, unless the line was a free?

[Elina]

Ratter, good for you! It's nice having a 'nothing' day once in a while. I can easily get lost in my new Kindle, the time vanishes! How's Carakeel?

[Elina]

corylus, I can imagine that's difficult!

[Elina]

gness, my mum had a Singer treadle, I seem to remember my dad made a stand for it. Yep, sewing classes according to my local paper have massive intakes!

[Elina]

... thought the starred out word was sew gness ! ;0)

My day, been up since 4.00am .. been to work. Got an email off a relative who after my parents, she's unaware my dad died in July last year. So, I set about constructing a reply back, awkward upsetting thing to do. Been to mums with some shopping & to eep her company while brother went for hospital appointment. Now home, not tired strangely? Stuffing my face with snacks, can't seem to stop eating .. it's so cold!!! I'll blame it on the cold!

'relative who asked after'

Lovely day. Met an old friend for lunch and had a good catch up and a giggle.

[Elina]

chaptaz ... brilliant! I have one very close friend I hook up with from time to time.

[chaptazbru2]

I know, it's good to catch up isn't it Elina ....... We've already planned our next lunch date !

[Elina]

Is it a very old friend chaptaz? Yes it's great when it's someone who knows the 'real' you & you them, you can just be yourself & talk about everything!! :0)

//I am in an ace mood.//

What an unusual phrase. Would that be ace of Diamonds perchance?

Elina, Carakeel is doing very well thanks, she hasn't been so great today, had a few back problems but she will be fine again tomorrow.

[Elina]

Thanks Ratter, I couldn't remember seeing her post lately.
