Bugs bunting

Thank goodness, we have a lull from the constant rain, been here nearly 15 years and have never seen it rain so hard for so long. Clean up is going to be fun, Not! They are forecasting more to come so will have to wait a bit. We have been immersed in low cloud for the last 4 days, could hardly see outside the gate, can actually see into the valley today. 

Poor Theo has picked up yet another cold, cough from nursery and Rebecca has succumbed too, so they have stayed away. So missed their visit, stop over, made us smile as it´s only been a week and we are already feeling it, comparing it to the months and months of separation before.

I dusted off my Bernina only for it to tell me it wanted a clean and some oil, that done, I then found that a fault must have happened to the foot pedal or controller, as the only speed it would go was slow or slower. I persevered as it was only simple, straight stitching and finished the task. Obviously needs a service, which can wait till the weather improves.

I made some bunting for Theo above his bed, measured the wall, calculated width and space between, I was so pleased the maths worked out, perfecto. Except I forgot about the baby monitor/camera, oh well it adds a little decoration and with the panels having bugs and animals on them, it will be a good talking point and for story making at quiet times. I also bought him a book on bugs so that will tie in nicely.

 A little knitting done, not much else really, just trying to keep warm to ward of the aches.

The furries have ventured outside for a mooch, they have not appreciated being cooped up inside, Monster in particular, as he went about bemoaning his lot at the top of his voice, the others mainly found a soft, comfortable spot to curl up in.

A few chores beckon, really need to put a wash load on, but it will have to be dried inside, and that kitchen floor is screaming out to be moped.

Enjoy your day

take care
