Spent the weekend feeling rather distressed in a post burglary sort of way. Did some good stuff though. Had dinner in town with friends D and J. Spent hours listening to very expensive but fabulous live Handel opera!!! No countertenors which was disappointing but some fantastic contraltos, most impressed. Far less eye candy for a girl than the previous week's Don Giovani featuring the beautiful Teddy. Sunday spent time with S who I don't see often enough. Lovely to see her. Then headed over to help L and P do some weeding. Well I did weed some but the company was fab.
My big achievement for Saturday was that I finished the big star quilt!!! It took almost a year to do. Probably a full year if you count the fabric selection part which was done almost a year earlier I think. Anyway, I started cutting this after boxing day last year. All done, all 1400 pieces and hand quilting of it. I will post a pic after I get my camera replaced. Gee I miss it.
Feeling rather better as the week progresses which is great. Have the tree up now, another weekend achievement. Feeling a bit more organised about Chrissie shopping but as usual a bit stressed about where to draw the line. Just how many people am I giving pressies to? Very pleased however that I managed to actually send a few Chrissie cards this year. Oh dear, writing this here, hope nobody gets offended if they don't receive one? Note it is a minor miracle that I wrote any!
Doing a rather needed load of laundry, how exciting. Couldn't face it on the weekend. Feels good to be achieving something on a week night though, tis somewhat of a rare occurrence.
having a bit of a dither about what to cook for Chrissie dinner, never done this before. Menu is taking shape, have to brave the grocery shop at some point, I have been putting that off for many weeks. No idea what is for dinner tonight. Something alla pantry I suppose. I shall go and see what I can find. Dinner can get a bit bizarre when grocery avoidance has been going on.
