Mundane News

Right, that's all that fabric stitched. Now I can start the next stage tomorrow - cutting, tacking and stitching the contrast border on the pen base. My eyes have gone all funny though - bright green is a colour I personally wouldn't have chosen. (Making these for a friend.)

Have also been planning my next sewing project, which will see me nicely through the winter. Ran across some old sketches for a motorsport-themed wall hanging while looking for something else entirely (always the way), and figured that with a bit of tweaking, it's actually do-able. Plus I have some dark green fabric that will do nicely for it. Even better, it was already cut to size and the seams tacked, intended for a set of show drapes that never got off the ground. Just need to decide whether to use embroidery silks or tapestry wool...

Is this wall hanging anything like the D Day embroidery at Southsea ?

Morning. It is sunny here at the moment.
I had a better nights sleep last night.

Same here. Amber warning and it's feeling a bit eerie out like something is building up.

The dead washing machine is placed on the end of the driveway.Very soon now one of those scrap vans will appear and remove it.

Is it now in orbit capturing space debris ?

Apologies for breaking into the storm watch thread, but I have some mundane news to report.

Our Bin Day here in Hamtun has been changed from Saturday to Wednesday, ie today.
Black bin today, and recycling next Wednesday.

BTW it’s breezy here as well.

Lol. It's our general waste one today too. I've put it out and hoping the lorry gets round before the wind gets going.

Breaking mundane news. Our bin has been emptied and brought back into the garden before it ends up at the end of the road.

Yesterday I had to bring the washing back in an hour after I put it out, the wind had picked up and it had started raining, if I'd left it out I'd had to pick it up in Bedworth still wet. Its out this morning but its forecast to be a calmer dry day.

In the absence of a wheelie bin thread to discuss bin wee or bins gone with the wind mine stayed upright yesterday I'm hoping this good fortune lasts until after the weekend when the breeze does one

Are the TV crews gathering outside your front door on hearing the news? I had better put this in my diary .

In other news we have just heard that there is an electrical fault in Faulty Towers and we are 200 miles away. Talks are going on at this very minute.
Do not picnick ! The fault has been tracked to being the kettle.

I had better unload the car again .
