I think that's true of all craft-type peeps. I have the show drapes on the go, have started a wall hanging, am in the middle of making a new outfit for one of my racing driver bears and am have a couple of pieces of artwork in the planning stages...

That’s what women really mean when they insist they can multi-task...

They can 3/4 finish multiple tasks.

They are filming " Downtown the Movie " in Lacock at the moment. It must be a remake of Petula Clark's 60's hit.

I'm going to make a microwaved fried egg on toast soon.

Haven't heard abouth that one, just the re-makes of Animal Farm, Watership Down, and War of the Worlds (again)

That doesn't seem right.

I'm sorry, is it too pink for you?

Leonardo Da Vinci had a lot of unfinished projects lying around.

LOL... The show drapes are nearly done - they're for a friend who needs them for a show at the end of next month. The bear's outfit is mostly done - am in the middle of embroidering the logos on. The wall hanging will see me through the winter as a project.

I'm always doing something. I can't just sit and vegetate in front of the telly doing nothing.

Oi!!! I saw that!!!

Right, off to have a bite of lunch. No idea what, will just go raid the fridge most like...

It's not that, It just throws a picture of unhappiness from the cat. I'm sure she wouldn't choose to be in there.

Has anyone got a pot of elbow grease that they do not need? If so, can I procure it please?

My lovely decorator man will be here on Monday to paint the kitchen. So I am cleaning the walls, and the woodwork. I am trying to just use water and one of those "eco cloths". Cif will be used on the more stubborn stains. I would much rather be out in the garden, but I do not want to have to rush the job if I leave it to the weekend.

The kitchen was last decorated …. um..... er…. twenty years ago. It is still mostly clean, but there are some dinks, and cracks in the paintwork, and needs it a new coat of paint and new flooring.

To be fair, that photo was taken at the end of a very long day, and I think we were both tired and grumpy and wanting to go home... Mind, I'm not showing so much these days (the girls haven't been out on the bench since March) as I've been concentrating on stewarding and judging.

 

[Reynard]

Right, that's lunch down the hatch. One slice of toast topped with leftover chicken casserole, one slice of toast topped with half an avocado, and then some grapes. Plus the obligatory two

Back to the sewing before I lose the good daylight.

Superb day here in Meanwood.So Mrs Postman asked me to clean her craft room window,inside and out,well i continued did other bedroom window inside and out then i 'oovered the stair carpet finally room window inside and out.
We have discovered a little problem over on the land.Like i stated earlier,we want to put in two apple trees and one pear tree,well just where they are going,i remembered many many years ago we tried to create a bog garden,we bought a 12' x 8' pond liner and it's 14" deep,that is a lot of compacted soil.I have suggested digging three large circles or squares down to the liner then cut said out with a Stanley knife.I don't fancy digging out that lot. Just to remove the liner,for just three trees.

Just had my first group ride for 4 years, with a nice bunch of elderly cyclists. Thirty miles at snail's pace, but I went along just to get the feel of riding in a group again, and for that it was great. Bad cake, though. People who bake and sell dry cakes shouldn't charge £3.50 for a slice (and...........believe it or not..............it was served with that spray-foam artificial cream. I didn't think that foul gunk existed any longer).

You need sugar soap. It's available at any DIY shop, cheap as chips, and it gets anything and everything off the wall/ floor/ ceiling with no elbow grease required. Just make sure you rinse it down very well afterwards.
