We're going on a "chopping board" hunt!

Today started early - VERY EARLY!!  I woke up at 4:30am for a "comfort" break but couldn't get back to sleep so gave up at 5am and got up.  So - what did I do at that dark time of the morning - ummm - I sat and machined my diamonds for tonight's sewing class (well it has been 24 hours!!).  I also sat and tried out today's TAST stitch - bullion knots - whilst watching the second episode of Outlander on Amazon Prime.  I like the tv series but am not so sure about the bullion knots - it seems like a lot of fuss.  I have used pale pink, to look like flowers against the green, so it might be difficult to see my efforts here but I think that I got better as I went on.






The upshot was that, by 9am , I felt that I had achieved a great deal and so could justify (if I ever needed to) the visit to the Senior Screen.  Today's film was the Intern with Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway - one that I can really recommend - particularly if you are of retirement age!

Next up was a Carvery lunch at The Trawlerman in Cleethorpes before starting the afore mentioned hunt for a chopping board.  Now to paraphrase a certain advert - these were no ordinary chopping boards - we were after some of those flexible, coloured chopping boards that can be easily cut with scissors.  They are useful for providing stability to bag bottoms or to use as a template plastic substitute.  After popping into Tesco and searching in a small shop called "Trotters Traders" (yes - after Del Boy!), we found them in "Ticker - T- Boo" (don't we know how to name shops up here?)









I finally got home around 3:30pm with wind and rain outside - so a lovely cup of coffee and piece of cake was called for before resting my eyes whilst episode 3 of Outlander was on!  Tonight I am out at my sewing class so need to reserve my energies you understand!
