Yesterday was a mix of sun and clouds with a high of 15C. This morning it is cloudy with showers and 10C. Today is supposed to have showers in the morning and rain in the afternoon. The high is supposed to get to 16C.
Lifestyle
Yesterday morning I think I texted more than I worked. My neighbour texted to ask if her son could do any jobs for me. We chatted and I said yes he could do the weed eating in the ditch. He came over so we could talk and he could look at my weed eater. He would come over as soon as he had mowed 2 other lawns.
I then started cleaning the fridge. It wasn't really dirty but needed to be wiped down on the inside and refreshed. It took me a bit of time as I was going to do it properly. When done, I washed the window in the back door and part of the kitchen window.
The young man came back after lunch to do the weed eating. I was out to check on him a couple of times and replaced the batteries in the weed eater. I also spent time seeding the lawn and where the vegetable boxes were. I also cleaned away the old growth around the lilies and found that one of the hosta plants is up and going to be big this year.
My friend and I worked a bar last night. We had so much fun with the people and got lots of compliments. It was an enjoyable evening. Daughter-in-law took over around 8:30 pm and we left the tips we made for her. She was doing the late shift and wouldn't make as many tips. She had also done all the prep work for the dinner and was serving and cleaning up. She deserved the tips we got.
Sewing
I was down into the sewing room pulling projects I want to make. I have 2 quilts, a tree skirt, and placemats in tubs that will be done this year. I also have to design and make a quilt for an auction in October.
Knitting
A pattern was chosen and the yarn was brought up so I can start knitting a vest for the dolls.
Thoughts
I had a great talk with my neighbour yesterday afternoon. She lives across the street from me. She let me know that the neighbour across the road from us is moving to the United Arab Emirates as soon as they sell their house. That is a huge move and we wish them well.
She also told me the rat problem is worse in our area. I have always known there has been rats but there are traps out for them. The number has increased as one household has garbage everywhere. A great haven for rats to get food and nest. One person has had the wiring chewed in their car twice and those people have trapped at least 6 rats and seen many more. Another person went to get something out their car and it was missing. They found it made into a nest in the engine of their car. I had parked the rental outside and it is now in the garage. I will be looking for rats around my property though my garbage is kept in containers in the garage. This did keep me awake during the night.
My muscles are sore today from doing things outside and standing in one spot for too long. This is called muscle soreness. My joints and usual pains are not bothering me at all. Hurrah for that.
Today
I have to get groceries this morning. I would like to cut out the doll's blouse and maybe start sewing it. I am out for dinner tonight and may not knit tonight.
Until the next time...............................................................
