Awww Chicky, that's hard. At least you have now seen where she's going to be so can picture it better - and having spent the time with her you know she's OK. Hope today goes alright.
Back to school and college today - best get a move on!

Chicky, as before, if chicklet needs any advice in the country, feel free to give her my details.
I has a little fall down a step as I was leaving for the gallery. Due to discomfort in my right wrist, I’ve decided I need to visit a Dr in the morning and probably get an X-ray . Still have a plastic cast from 1997 when I broke the triquetral bone in both wrists. So I’ve put that on to immobilise it until I can see someone. Very annoying. I hate getting older.
I don't know what storm, if any, we're on now but I was awake till after 5am listening to the wind howl and waiting for bangs and clatters. It's a bit calmer now at only 90kph but still too windy to try and get the garage roof put back.
Feeling bleugh now but will go and sew anyway. I'm doing a fleece gilet/body for OH to play golf so spent ages threading my new overlocker. Did a test run but none of the stitches worked. The cutting blade is fine tho. Bought it in Belgium and then moved before I could go to initiation class so clearly I need to find one here.......... Plan B then is to sew the bally thing on the normal machine and do proper seam finishing.
Why do the French call a French seam "couture à l'anglaise"?
Liri - I hope your roof was OK in last night's storm.
Have fun with your cushions Busy. I made a cushion in the kitchen for the pussies but guess who moved in last night!
Pat - hope it's just a sprain but do treat it carefully.
Dove - hope all sniffles and coughs are better.
Pdoc - I hope you have plenty to keep you occupied while BH is at work.

Morning all.
Howling gale here, woke me in the night.
I hope the 7 months pass OK for you, Chicky. It will be hard at first but should grow easier. Hugs from me too.
Remembered yesterday that I’d bought some material back in the summer to replace the sitting room cushion covers. Started them yesterday.

Hi all.
Well Eleanor is a wild girl, thought the roof was coming off for most of the night,have not dared venture out, to check on trees and greenhouse.
Must be very hard for you Chicky, but try to be proud of what an adventurous daughter you have raised.
Hope there is nothing broken Pat.
Feels odd being home alone, you get so used to 24 / 7 company as a patient.

Morning all - hi Pat, hope that wrist isn't broken...
Hugs to Chicky. It's tough letting them go!
Be careful in the wind, folks.
Good morning.
Eleanor changed her path and blew south of us. Hope no one has sustained any damage.
Pat - be careful with your wrist and have OH do the driving until it's checked out.

Pdoc, you're not 'home alone' we're here .... sitting round the kitchen table and warming up your sofa ... kettle's on ....

Obelixx ... thanks ... sniffles on the mend but OH didn't get much sleep with his cough ... he was in the spare room
Thanks for starting this month's thread ... very efficient
