Welcome to family, friends and visitors. Here you will find interesting (hopefully) pictures of my part of the world, news of our household and probably, long ramblings about anything that catches my interest.

Cold.


It has become much colder and after a very wet night has rained frequently during the day.

 
I woke this morning to find that for the first time in a very long time I had no lower back pain. Was this possibly due to spending over an hour lying in the dentist's specially shaped chair? Yesterday's cleaning of the books had involved the usual kneeling and crouching which doesn't help my back and I can't think that there was anything else different. If the same thing happens after getting the top teeth done, (not for a while) then I might have to consider finding a similar chair. That would give Peter the heebie jeebies as he is phobic about dentists.
 
This morning's task was cleaning the last of the books and then half of the LPs from the bottom shelf. I must keep reminding Peter to sort out a way to play the LPs as he insists we have a deck but I don't know where. I did the other half of the LPs after a break and this time I  was more sensible and took them to the kitchen counter instead of working on the floor. All this spring cleaning reminds me that the fewer possessions we have the less cleaning and tidying there is to do. Hopefully I'll be taking more stuff to the charity shops after this bout of sorting out.
I also did some more work on the sequinned top. Having pinned it to an existing top I risked stabbing myself with all those pins and tried the result on. I think it's going to work if I gather both front and back at the centre to use up the extra fabric. The next step is the shoulder seams and to remove all the extra sequins one by one before I begin sewing. Only half-way there as that's an arduous task which makes me extra glad that the side seams are already bound.
I'll be off in a minute to Pilates. It wasn't raining the last time I checked and I've got my mat in a bag so hopefully I'll be able to walk down to the hall.
