How are you today?

I am very happy today and all this last week. I have a appraised 1790 Irish spinning wheel and the other day a friend gifted me with a 1830 wheel. I also have spent the afternoons spinning wool on my new modern wheel.

Wen it is all spun up and the twist is set, I'll post some pics.

Awesome! I did spinning when I was younger. We had sheep and did the shearing, carding, and spinning,
 
Good morning. it's Saturday!

A cooler day today, overcast. The good news is that it is not as humid as it has been these last few days, not so much sneezing today and all the laundry has been washed, dried and put away.

Today, a relative may be discharged from hospital and, if so, I will pick up some treats and visit them at home. If not, I will pop into the hospital during visiting hours. That's it, all I have planned for today. Next week is going to be busy so, I wouldn't mind a lazy weekend.

Have a smashing Saturday everyone :)
 
Good hot summer morning. I'm glad the lawn got mowed yesterday because it's gonna be too blasted hot to do it today.

DD and I are gonna do something today, but I don't know what even though I wore my thinking cap to bed.

How about a visit to the farmer's market at the square? Or wandering around in our favorite antique shop? It happens that the antique shop is also at the square.

Maybe another turn past the Clarence shelves at the garden center just in case somebody there yesterday rotated the wilting stock from the store to Clarence?

For sure there will be a stop at Aldi on the way home to pick up gelato. Must. Have. Gelato.
 
We have been at Salisbury for most of the afternoon, home now but not for long. A trip to the supermarket for a few provisions and tomorrow's picnic lunch, (the Salisbury link will explain,) then we are dining out with a crowd of good friends, after which, we are all off to Canford Heath Community Centre for what looks like a classic jive dance event. We shall have to sit it out though, the lady's heart ain't up to it, but just engaging with friends and getting out of the house is good therapy, and it puts a smile on her face.
 
I'm very happy today. Got the early bus into town and went to a shop to look for a picture for my wall. I'd seen one online that I liked but wanted to see it in person. When I got to there they only had one left and it was half price! I phoned my son and he said he'd come and collect me and the picture in about fifteen minutes. I quickly nipped into TKMaxx and bought a pair of Skechers which also had a extremely low price on them!

So... happy and still alive. Can't be bad. :cool:

Have resigned myself to dusting and vacuuming today. Blah.

The definition of insanity...doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. It's just going to get all tracked up again and dusty.

Skip that part and just go for a walk.

We're home. Dang! It's hot out there. We didn't get to the antique shop because the heat got to us. On the way home, we made a pit stop at Aldi so I could get my gelato. Three 28oz cartons. Should last a couple of days;)
 
Hi fellow campers.... not been on for a few days and the last time here I forget about this thread (slaps wrist)
Only managed to read the last few posts, but glad to see everyone's tickety boo. Tis a good thread Paulina, I forget to thank you for starting it (y)

I've been hoovering funny little 'black dots', about the size of a pin head every day, even before I go to bed - they must be spiders(?), as they make webs. I'm such a wuss about spiders and their webs.
No sooner have I hoovered them up, more appear during the evening when I'm sat relaxing.

My daughter sent me some pictures for the wall, and whilst trying out where to site them, moving pictures already in situ, I discovered these pin head black dots thingies were even in the blooming (see, I didn't swear there?) picture frames - so they got hooverd up too. Ended up sticking duck tape around the back of the frames to keep any beasties out.

Can't understand where they come from, apart from the open window, but it's only in the lounge where they congrete. I'm a housework freak not a slut, so my sis reckons I'm too clean, so be a slut and see if they stay away o_O
