I have made some bunting. Two 10m lengths in fact, using bright patterned fabric so they look very jolly. They are to string across somewhere or other on Saturday when I do my Open Garden thingy. I am gradually ticking off the little jobs on my to-do list but the list seems to get longer every day, so it’s like the bottomless well. I’m still waiting for the camouflage parachute fabric to arrive so I can make the cover for the frame that used to be a greenhouse but that is something I can do in a jiffy anyway. Plus I have to make about a 100 scones.
However, I have at last managed to get to the beach to collect another bag of shells to finish the fairy pool area. As it is the half term holiday I took the wee girlie to the beach. That is what you do with the wee ones in the school hols isn’t it? So I did. (I still can’t take it in that my youngest child has left college.) It was for her the perfect weather for the beach being overcast and verging on raining. She doesn’t like sun because being a redhead (ish) she gets burnt way too quickly and has had some really bad experiences in the past so taking her to the beach on a hot day would be a form of torture. So although it might have been a washout day for beach babies on holiday along the south coast it wasn’t for us.
I have to wrap this up now though because we have to go watch a film. We were watching Along Came Polly the other day and it led to reminiscing about FX – Murder by Illusion which I liked so we have it on Amazon rental atm. Ok so it isn’t a great film as films go but I like it – but then I like all sorts of goofy crap!
