One Sock Completed

 Yesterday was sunny and very warm. The high got to 24C. This morning it is clear and 9C. Today is supposed to be sunny and windy with a high of 26C. 

Lifestyle

One text and my plans changed. I went with daughter-in-law for her physio therapy session. She had an intense session on her hip and knee. Once we were done, we went into Sackville to look for cookie trays for the community hall. We didn't find any. 

Our next stop was at a store called Pete's. It is a shop that is preserving its English heritage and is a delight to shop. You find a mix of exotic international items. I found pimento there but didn't buy any as it was expensive. I did buy Octoberfest sausages for dinners. The butcher was a delight to talk to. Instead of having to buy a package of 6 or 8 sausages, I could buy what I wanted. In this case, it was 3. 

Daughter-in-law looked at some items made in Nova Scotia. She bought 3 items for son to take to Uruguay. I will make a gift bag using Nova Scotia plaid fabric. 

We did two more short stops on our way home. We actually didn't find what we wanted at either store. We were both tired, daughter-in-law from her sore body and me from the heat. 

Once home, I headed out to pick up my prescription. The pharmacist told me she was cold and showed me her heater. It was on to keep her warm. She got razzed about that. 

I did uncover the plants before I left in the morning and have put them on the deck railing this morning to finish drying. They were covered with a light frost that had just started to melt when I took them off. 

Sewing

I didn't sew yesterday as I had no time. I will be making two more bags this week. One is using the Nova Scotia plaid for a gift and another is one to hold grandson's scale. I need to find out which scale he is taking so I can make it the right size. 

I have also been asked to make family a king size quilt for their bed. I need to look at designs for it. Something simple but nice. 

Knitting

I finished the first sock last night. Doing the decreases on the toe was fairly easy. I was thrilled to get it done. 

I knit 21 rounds on sock #2. I am about half done the gusset at this time. 

Thoughts

    My little cucumbers have growing rapidly in the 24 hours since they sprouted. If no other seeds sprout I am okay with that as I have 4 plants. I need to get the leeks and pepper plants in the next few days. I am getting ready to plant everything in containers and the boxes. 

    I woke to the house quite warm last night. I opened a bunch of windows at midnight and the house is cool this morning. I have one window left open and I will be closing it soon. All the curtains will be closed for the day. I am hoping that I won't have to turn on the a/c until this afternoon. 

    My back and knees did well yesterday. I had less pain and more mobility. It was a big surprise when I had a loud crack as my SI joint released when I stretched at midnight. I actually felt it release. I have some muscle pain this morning but I expected that. It will disappear with time (or I hope it does). 

Today

I have to do the balance sheet first thing and then I want to get outside while it is cool. I have to look for the Nova Scotia plaid fabric in the doll's stash and see if I have enough for a gift bag. I may head out this afternoon to get some interfacing so I can make bags. I have more than enough to do today and I hope to get it all done. 

Until the next time............................................................................
