Yesterday was hot, muggy, and wet. The high got to 22C (humidex 28C). This morning it is cloudy and 13C. Today is supposed to be cloudy with a high of 19C.
Lifestyle
I was busy yesterday morning. While laundry was on, I did the balance sheet. I did have some issues as I was tired and not thinking straight. I finally found the issue, corrected it, and moved on.
Laundry went into the dryer and I tidied up the kitchen. It needed it as I haven't done it for a bit. It is looking good again. Then it was downstairs to swiffer the family room floor and put the furniture back into its proper place. The room is done and I just need to mop the floor.
After lunch I went over to family's. We were looking for places to rent while we are on holiday. Son had found one more place to look at and we started the process. We listed what was important and then rated it separately. We went over the 10 places we had chosen and narrowed it down to 5, then 4, then 2. We finally picked the place son had found that morning. We also booked our local flights. We only need to choose hotel rooms and that part of our trip will be done. We were done by 5 pm.
The places we looked at were all quite nice. The one that was called the Granny flat was the biggest and had a lot of windows in it. It was full of things from the 60 to the 90's which included furniture, knick knacks, etc. We liked the location and the size but weren't sure about all the stuff in the place. Other places were very modern and others were more contemporary. All were extremely clean and had everything we needed.
It rained last evening. The clouds came down to the ground when it blew in. It was so heavy you could hear it hitting the house. The roads had water running in them and it was running down my driveway. I watched it for a bit as we haven't had rain like this since early June. It was a great watching; a novelty for sure.
Sewing
I had a bit of time before lunch to hand sew binding on the runner. I have half of one long side and a short side done. No pictures as I had to stop in a hurry for lunch and then leave.
Knitting
I knit on the hat. It took me a while to change needles as the tips I needed don't like to go onto the cord. I am now decreasing for the top of the hat.
Thoughts
I was so grateful to see the rain last night. According to the map I look at, the storm should have missed us or only given us a little bit of rain. There was enough fall in that storm to help revive the lawns and begin to put moisture into the ground. There is supposed to be more rain mid week.
I am slowly working on a plan for the sewing room. It is mainly what I want to focus on in the future. I have a small list of items I do want to make. One is to get fabric from the quilt shop to make quilts for their charity project. I can sew them at home if I don't want to be a part of the group. Others items are quilts for myself and family, items for the house, doll clothes and bags to put them into. Ideas are forming. Next up will be dealing with the fabric, etc and getting those ideas on paper.
I read that we have a cold front moving in. The lows temperatures will be near 0C in some areas. We will be wearing sweaters in the morning. I need to pick the peppers and get the deck cleaned up.
Today
I am off shortly to New Minas with daughter-in-law. Her car needs its service and we will have breakfast while that is being done. Next is to buy a travel cPap. I know we have a piece of luggage to return and after that I am not sure. I would like to hand sew the binding on the runner this afternoon, wind yarn for socks and knit tonight.
Until the next time..................................................................
