Rain......Rain.....!!

This morning I finished bundling up the catalogues and had just finished when DH got back home from bring called into court.

Then DH and I delivered all bar 11 bundles (that's how many we were short) those can wait until tomorrow because I think I would have fallen down if I went back out. 

DH's trolley lost  a wheel and then fell apart.

So then we had to transfer them over to mine so his was easier to carry. 

We both lost quite a bit of fluid.....!!

Just a tad hot today. 

DH had a late shift.....so two trips to Darwin today. 

The rain tumbled down at 3pm and lasted a good hour and a half. 

Some nice thunder too. 

Zachary just made it home from school....

I've read a couple chapters today.....

I'm over halfway.......

I've also ironed some fat quarters ..... I'm going to do some cutting tomorrow. 

All those blues and brown reproductions. 

The boys , granny and I have had a couple games of Bullshit and Sevens tonight , though granny couldn't quite understand how to play Bullshit. 

I don't think she believed she could cheat. 

I've doodled some too....still not finished. 

Until Next Time. 

Oops Again....!!!!!

And I can't blame staying up late and reading this time. 

I was in a mad.....at granny. 

But as she would say.."I'm only trying to help Michelle"

My table looks like this and ........

........The bench looks like this. 

So I have 15 catalogues and 2 inserts this week. 

I went to do my exercises at 8.30pm and I come back out and she has tried to bundle up catalogues , some she missed and 2 of some were in there ..... I was not impressed and she had no idea I was mad. 

In certain things I'm a little OCD.....and I can't help that. 

Sorry for ranting.......I think I'm soon for the loony bin as granny is driving me insane. 

Yesterday I brought inside 300+ of all said catalogues. 

My darling offspring refused to help...!!!!!

Then I started bundling.........

DH packed them into our trolleys when he got home from work. 

And the table is full again. 

I've only 80 left to do this morning. 

We watched the final of AGT and who I wanted to win...won !! So that made me happy. 

I didn't read any if my book......!

And I only doodled to calm down after granny made me mad. 

And then it was off to bed. 

So a busy but otherwise boring day. 

Until Next Time. 

Oops.....!!!!!!

Friday 8th November.......

I don't know what happened last night but I forgot to post. 

Granny and I went to spotlight and I got a few things......lol !

The 2 bottom pieces are fat quarters the other is yardage to go with the others I got a couple weeks ago. 

I haven't a plan yet but one is forming. 

I also got some jazzy rulers for my doodling. 

My doodle is coming along ......

DH arrived home much earlier than we thought so that was good. 

We watched episode 2 of 'Game of Thrones'

I did lots if washing.....yuk !!

I hate housework.....just so you all know. 

And DH cooked rissoles on the BBQ , they taste better on the barby. 

And I read a couple chapters if  'Dark Witch ' and got a little distracted......I'm bad......and that's why I forgot to post. 

I haven't read a book before bed for a long time. 

I knew it was sleep-in day so I stayed up late. 

O.K....... 

Now for what happened today........

A nice Saturday morning with the paper. 

A couple cups if tea.....and my usual tomato on toast. 

I vacuumed the house....from one end to the other. 

Granny started this......

.......so I had to finish. 

Cupcakes everywhere. 

Then she made a chocolate batter......so we have cupcakes coming out our ears. 

The freezer is loaded down with cake. 

My car is full of catalogues.......

I will get them out in the morning and start bundling them up for Monday. 

And I've been reading some too......

DH has had a trip to Nhulunbuy today and is back safe and now doing a double shift. 

I might just read a couple more chapters....

No sewing today.....

Until Next Time. 

An Allsorts Day.......

After Zachary left for school DH and I left for a long walk.......in 90% humidity and delivered all the papers. 

I'm glad he was home because it would have taken me forever. 

I'm going to have to do it in halves next week and take 2 days ..... or do the morning and the the evening.....I will see. 

You should have seen us when we got home our faces were black from the ink off the newspapers......maybe we need a small towel to wipe the sweat.....!

Lol....

DH and I did a run to the tip to get rid of excess papers and catalogues....we also had some boxes that needed to go. 

We had a trip to the mall and I got Nora Roberts new book. 

I have started it.......

I can't bring myself to get her books through iBooks I need to have the proper old fashioned variety. 

I started a new doodle after we recovered from our exercise this morning.......

Then I cut DH's hair. 

I bought a new magazine again today.....I'm bad.....but I liked the quilt on the cover....and it's definitely one I would like to make. 

One day........

No sewing today. 

We have started watching 'Game Of Thrones '......I know we are behind the times but we can never seam to remember when things are on so we have bought the first season so we can watch it whenever. 

Until Next Time. 

Shopping Day.......

DH and I went to pick up the local free paper that we have to deliver. 

That will be tomorrow mornings work. 

We also did jobs and food shopping on the way back. 

DH did more jigsaw and I found a few pieces.....

I also finished this......

.......my doodle...!!!

I really enjoyed drawing it too.....it's very relaxing to do. 

'The Mummy 2' was watched tonight.....we watched the first one last night. 

No sewing today......but I did sewing reading.....

With the new AP&Q magazine. 

Until Next Time. 

Cup Day.........

This morning DH helped me finish putting all the catalogues together. 

Then this afternoon we went for a big walk.......

We had to keep coming home to refill the trolley but we got them done. 

When DH got home last night......around midnight......we had a sound and light show and did it rain...!!!!

Darwin itself got over 4" overnight. 

When it comes down , it comes down..!

We saw these frogs this morning out by the front door.......

I hope they are just having a piggy back ride.........

Lol. 

No sewing today......to busy. 

But we did stop and watch the race that stops the nation........The Melbourne Cup.....the horse granny picked won. 

Tonight while t.v watching I was doing some........

.........doodling !

It's not finished but I will get back to it sometime. 

That's the good thing about it. 

Until Next Time. 

Over........

Today was the day that DH had to go back to work. 

He was getting very bored having all that time off. 

But he is all fixed now so that's good. 

His food still does get stuck sometimes but that's to be excepted. 

It should get better with time. 

I've started a catalogue delivery run......I'm very crazy..!!

370 houses......I picked them up at 4 pm and I've bundled up 150 already....lots to go. 

I'm going to be busy tomorrow......

At least I don't have to go very far.....it's just around the corner. 

No sewing today. 

Until Next Time. 

Sunday Stuff......

We had a little sleep-in after our late night out. 

We packed up Zachary's trampoline after the wind knocking it down on Friday. 

We got it packed up just in time before it rained again. 

DH and I did some shopping.....

I did more washing.......

And we watched a movie.......

I also basted more of these.....

I have to cut more squares of background as I've run out. 

That about sums up our Sunday. 

Until Next Time. 

Wow.....!!!!!

I'm just going to sneak this post in for today too.....,

DH and I have just gotten home from going to see 'Tommy Emmanuel'

OMG.... I could have listened to him all night. 

I know it was just him on stage but it sounded like he had a band with him.....

The guitar is definitely a part of him.......

Today I did stitch......

Only basting backgrounds ..... but they are needed. 

I might do more tomorrow. 

I was multi tasking while basting. 

I finished the last 3 chapters of the novella I was reading. 

Well this little black duck is tired and going to bed. 

Until Next Time. 

Happy Birthday........

Today is my Mum's Birthday.......

I rang her to tell her Happy Birthday and that I love her. 

Her present is with my sister in- law so she just has to pick it up. 

Mum was cooking biscuits and cake when I rang her. 

Bruce was taking her out for tea.....so at least she didn't have to cook tea. 

I will post photos of her present when she has got it. 

We have been pottering around today......had a couple trips to the shops too. 

We had a big storm this afternoon ...... very windy as well. 

We were on the way home from picking up Jacob and down came the rain. 

Trees and branches were all over the roads too. 

We got just a little bit wet getting inside from the car.......

The wind blew all bar 2 legs off Zachary's trampoline. 

It's time to pack it up and put in the shed until the dry season next year. 

No sewing today......,

I've been catching up on blogs and surfing the web and YouTube-ing...!!!

More lovely fish for tea tonight. 

Until Next Time.
