It's nearly the end of May. It rained today, a lot, its rained a lot for what seems a long time. (apart from Sunday and Monday) It's wet and damp and cold and Farmer J lite a fire! was cold as he sat by the PC working or maybe he lit it for Franklin. His unwell and depressed and out of salts (off to V E T tomorrow i think).
It was a Stay indoors morning so while ironing I blocked my 80 squares by pinning them to the board and hovering a steam iron over them. This is to make the squares flat and ready to crochet together Supposedly (will soon find out if it works or not as I hope to of finished it by the weekend)
The strawberry plants are just starting to get fruit, imagine the slugs will have their eyes on them if it stays so wet, that's if they ever ripen..
The rain run down off the top of the plateau through our farm on it's way down to the river.
It's getting to the irises that have just come out, some of them are bending over.
Some slept all day, but I had the opportunity to do some DIY . Do it yourself as no one's going to help me put together my shelving for my special space. I'm taking over Miss F's room for my ever expanding collection of wool and material, a craft room of sorts.
Farmer J went to fiddle with oil filters, Master C CLEANED HIS ROOM! I gathered a selection of screwdrivers and looked like I knew what I was doing...
tad ah
I put together two, I did eventually get a bit of help from my son and a lesson from farmer J on using appropriate screwdrivers and tools. Now I knew there were two types of screwdrivers but then if you look at the screw it may have lines on its head, this is for using a Philips screwdriver which has arrows on the tip bit. something I have learnt today but then as I'm more interested in girly things I'm sure I could of used a knife. Hopefully it will be raining on Friday when I can continue moving into `my space room'.
Poor Franklin hope he is better soon.
ReplyDeleteThe shelves look good - hope they are strong enough to hold all your wool supplies! I'm off to check out my screws!
Thank you Anita for your concern, iv'e got a spring basck in my paws, a wet nose and a waggy tail. I don't think it was my kidneys. It may be a rotten tooth where I had my abcess but I will grin and bear it till it flares up again as I don't think I like the sound of having it removed. I am back eating og crockets but would much rather just the liver and heart Iv'e been fed. I won't send you a kiss yet as my breaths a bit smelly still !
ReplyDeleteLove Franklin
Can`t believe how much wool and material i have collected may need more storage!!!!!!!!!!
I had a lesson on spirit levels - very interesting. A x
