yesterday he spent all morning moving things from one room to another. Duvet covers in bathrooom, ladle in dining room. cushions from sitting room.... pretty much in every room now. Plastic bottles in the compost bin. Clothes pegs inside shoes and he took to wearing odd shoes and poured tea into the breakfast cereal packet
It may help keep him calm @Hostafan1 having a level of control over where things are, if it's not any trouble to you I think maybe leave him to it as it's obviously making sense to him and he feels that's where things need to be 🤗
Morning @Dovefromabove, coffee on? I need a second at least!
Cooler nights and mornings, still windy. Many bush fires and the firefighters are overworked as usual.
@Hostafan1 Tender thoughts for you and lots of patience if and when he is allowed to come home again. Sometimes it helps to write down your day.
@Pat E Wise to stay home if you can. My friends in the Leper State (Melbourne) are fed up with it all. Now Auckland is locked down for a week because of the Delta variant. Apparently Jacinda has closed the borders until January 2022.
Have a good day, all in spite of the Captain Marvel person on the CC thread!! Tui
Morning all - haven't been on for a few days so quite a bit of reading back. Thoughts are with you and your poor hubby @Hostafan1. I do hope you are getting enough rest and eating properly. Day 3 of living within a cloud. Just not inspiring out there. Noticed that the cauliflowers that were beginning to develop nice heads are now completely devoid of leaves, covered in caterpillars and the heads have turned brown and manky. Seriously thinking of grassing over the veg plot next year and extending the borders into it. On the other hand - lots of delicious French beans; green ones and purple ones. I had so much more time in the garden last year - nothing to organise for the town, lots of lovely weather. This year: lots of stuff going on which, it seems, if I don't do it, it gets talked about a lot but doesn't get done. And meh weather. Lunchtime concert today in our local church. Bach today I think. Then to daughter with bag of beans for her. Day off from working on town stuff - I've picked up my needle and started doing beadwork again.
Hello @didyw beadwork? is that jewellery or applied to textiles? I once had a lovely beadwork bag ... not sure what happened to it ... I wonder if @WonkyWomble remembers 🤔
I've been out picking more runner beans ... we're having to have 'Cornish' pasties for supper this evening simply to make more space in the freezer 😆
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
No volunteering for me today …..warning light came on in my car yesterday so its in the garage today and tomorrow for fixing (luckily they had a cancellation). So I’m grounded. Will use the unexpected day to crack into some serious studying, before mastering a few new embroidery stitches. By the end of today I hope I will be a dab hand at woven wheel and stem stich roses 🌹. Found a lovely designer who does gorgeous little designs, so will make a card for my niece’s upcoming 21st.
Got a couple of mini breaks to look forward to as well - Nottingham (cricket) and Chatsworth next week, and a couple of nights in Studland Bay the week after. Exciting 😀😀😀.
Thinking of you Hosta - a very difficult and distressing time. Stay strong

Beadwork sounds fun @didyw 🪡🧵
