Another oops

Ok so I’ve been doing crochet and watching telly instead of my house pottering.  I’ve managed to finish one side of the thingy I’m doing.  Well when I say finished – it is finished but the shape was looking a little bit -well um- wrong.  It seems I should have 16 shells on the edging but I have 18.  I think a rip back to where I know I was correct and see if I can take it from there.  I’m relieved it’s wrong ’cause that explains why it doesn’t look right.  I’m not even sure that makes sense!!

Looking Forward To The Weekend

Well himself has to work this weekend and while it is a shame there is a silver lining and that means I get me time.  The instructions for this morning was – “Don’t wake me when going to work”  so I was woken to the cries of ” Deirdre my alarm didn’t go off!”  so much for a lie in.  Well actually it was – I had woken up at about 7ish and had managed to go back to sleep for the best part of an hour and a half before the bedlam started but subsequently postponed.

Anyway – today is my day for pottering and as per usual catching up on stuff not done during the week – happily I can say that it’s not as much as usual.  There is a glimmer of hope that I might get something done in the garden but that is slowly fading as dark clouds form overhead.
On the other hand I do have shopping to do so that could turn into a little outing…

Tomorrow is going to be full on relaxation.  I started a little crochet project for lunchtimes in work but brought it home ’cause I couldn’t resist and while we were away I bought a postcard that looks like it could be a very interesting blackwork project.  So tomorrow at 11am it’s Country Tracks and breakfast, then crochet/sewing and come 4pm I will be watching the Munster Hurling semi-final Waterford against Limerick.  I am not a sports fan so it is odd that I’m rather fond of GAA – I really don’t know why.
