at the moment it is fine, but very overcast, DB tells me we are due some rain later.
We wre a bit late waking this morning, I was awake for more than an hour in the night. Showered and breakfasted.
We are being picked up for the Harvest Supper at 6pm, so DB has set the recorder for a couple of programmes we usually watch.
Have been doing a bit of research for a machine, the one I have found is a new one, but a bit more than I wanted to pay, so will hold fast for a while and bear it in mind.
We also heard from the repair man, he is coming Tuesday to fix 4 new fence panels, my DGD also messaged they are coming Tuesday to set up her pram, its the onlt free day with have next week now we have a trip to Sheffield on Friday, stay over night and drive home Saturday.
So no supper tonight, we are eating out. The Chapel is a Charity so cannot charge for anything that goes on unless it is going to another Charity. Its the same with the lunch at Christmas. I always leave a reasonable amount in the plate that is put out for donations. Will leave £10 tonight, we usually leave £15 for the Christmas lunch. It does make me cross when quite a few people walk out without leaving a contribution towards the cost of the meal. The money raised goes towards the up keep of the chapel.
The supper is usally cold meat. salad, baked potatoes and then a selction of desserts.
You and DB do have a full week ahead!
ReplyDeleteThe Harvest meal sounds lovely and it will be nice not to have to cook tonight. I once read that one thing about being a grown up that "they" don't tell you is that you have to think of something to fix for supper every night of your life and then cook it!
Hope your DGD takes the pram with her so you no longer have to worry about it.
Wishing you well on finding the perfect extra sewing machine, at a good price, and not far away from your home.
I'm so glad your damaged fence panels will be replaced this week and well before winter.
Our DIL flew out this morning for a work conference in Miami so hope all is well in the Florida city. She'll be back later in the week.
I just cut the outer border black with colorful loops fabric at 4.5" (!!!) so hope to sew it onto the next Ukraine quilt, then will choose a backing or piece one and put it away until the chance arises to donate another quilt to Ukrainian refugees.
Hugs!
