Not only have I swapped to summer pyjamas but we may even swap out our winter weight duvet tonight! (We can always add a quilt if this proves to be a little rash!).
Stitching
I've finished the April piece for the Cover Story Collaboration. I think Ang has already posted hers to me. Mine will get posted on Wednesday morning. It's been fun to do, this month, even with the 'Snippy Snippy' moment on Easter Sunday when I needed to take out a section. It's too soon to post a picture; we wait until we know that both pieces have arrived at each other's house.
Gardening
In this weather? It's too hot during the day!
I did this little drawing a day or so of me planting something or other in the veg plot. You can tell by the scrap of writing that these pictures are often very small
Shopping
Our local B and Q Homebase became The Range recently, when B and Q Homebase closed a lot of stores and The Range bought them. I fancied having a look around but I've been biding my time, as there was a lot of interest when it opened. We went for a looksee this morning; I want to make a simple skirt and needed some elastic, and BB wanted to hooks.
I remembered The Range as having an interesting and eclectic mix of things... but either my memory is at fault, or they have shifted their market considerably. It turned out to be a cheap trip - a mere 59p for some elastic which I suspect may be too narrow. Still, I've satisfied my curiosity... for almost no money!
[When I wrote this paragraph I confused the two stores...]
Music
Since I post in the evenings (UK time) this is sort of the last opportunity to post Ella Fitzgerald singing 'April in Paris'. At least, the last opportunity in April.
Oh my, that voice! That style!
Lovely drawing.
ReplyDeleteI still have winter pajamas out along with summer ones. I never know which ones I'll have to wear! We had a lovely day today and tomorrow temperatures are plummeting so we have a frost warning in the morning. Sigh. It's part of the weather here.
I lived in Indonesia as a teenager, during the school holidays at any rate, and the weather was completely predictable for months on end. I do like having our varied weather even if it can be exasperating
DeleteIt will be hotter tomorrow, but this time next week will see temperatures ten degrees lower. I prefer the cooler weather!
ReplyDeleteI like it warmish...
DeleteI had to put the air conditioning on yesterday. It was 79 F indoors and we couldn’t open windows to cool it down because of the high winds. Today it is only 73 F indoors so the air conditioning is dormant - it’s set to come on at 76 F. Outside it is only 11 C today as opposed to 22 C yesterday.
DeleteI saw G's email yesterday about high winds, thunderstorms and TORNADOS! round your neck of the woods.... the weather over there is astonishing compared to here.
