    LG, our weather is between 0 and 6 in the mornings and mid teens to low 20s later in the day. It’s hard to work out what clothes to wear. 😏

    Layers Pat.  Same here for spring and autumn changes except today won't get warm cos there are big dark purple things sat overhead and dropping wet stuff.   Hope you're feeling better.

    Careful Wonky.  The golfers scoffed the lot in one go!   For sewing, I have subscribed to Sewdirect for years - Vogue, Butterick and McCalls patterns on offer online with regular 50% off sales thru the year.  They've just joined up with Simplicity, Burda and New Look so now there's access to a full range of clothing for work gear and everyday and smarter days.   Postal service very good.

    Probably too late for Bow now but fingers crossed for her and anyone else doing or preparing for interviews and auditions.   

    Shelf building for me today and fabric sorting.  Managed to reorganise a whole 2 shelves' worth of curtain fabrics yesterday.   Slowly slowly catchee monkey.

    Thanks. She felt it didn't go well, but she is very self-critical so no idea really. Same again tomorrow and Friday, so hope she can rise above the current doldrums. Not sure if I'm going or not, she doesn't need me there or for the journey (today she did as there was a logistics issue) but perhaps moral support. Sometimes I think it's better just to get on with it alone.

    That's quite a temperature range, Pat - I can understand the difficulty in dressing appropriately! Layers is the only way, as Obxx says.

    Enjoy your fabric sorting, Obxx.

    Home now, Bow back at school. And the sun is unexpectedly shining. Lunch and then garden, I think.

    Good luck to Bow, LG.

    Was hoping to see new baby granddaughter but DIL isn't feeling well and has a bit of fever.

    LG - let's just hope Bow is unnecessarily self-critical and does well for the next 2.

    BL - hope DIL feels better soon and you can get a cuddle with your new granddaughter.

    We've had wet stuff most of the afternoon but it's stopped now.   4 big shelves built, 10 half size ones cleared and all stacked with fabrics.   Just need to clear the last 5 smaller ones in there and fill them with the last of the fabric.   Cosmos helped........

    Radiator sprayed - again.  Needs more but getting there.   Mirror fixed.   Busy bee.

    Tired now with achy bits from all the bending and lifting.  Fabric is heavy!

    I guess you're not going to Saudi Arabia or Brunei for your holidays, Hostafan. Still plenty of other places to go. I am working on a list that doesn't need yellow fever vaccinations.  Antimalarials I can cope with.
     Get well soon, Pat.
    It hailed here today, just gently, more like the polystyrene version of snow.

    Yellow fever is a once in a lifetime jab. They used to say 10 years, but now they say you're good for life with it.
    Nor will I be visiting Iran, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Sudan, Mauritania and parts of Nigeria and Somalia for the same reason.
