life as it is

 1. Deep cleaned a friends kitchen and bathroom . Friend said why don’t I take on clients , to be honest not sure about that really have to look into it.  2. With the wool son found going to make him a blanket . Got a pattern all sorted. Then after making his blanket will do some knitting . Miss knitting.  3. Got off the bus said thank you , bus driver said you are most welcome and gave a lovely smile. That really uplifted me. Thank you bus driver . I have him again as he is a regular driver on my route . 

 Went a different way to my destination. Instead of a bus and 2 trains it was 3 buses. Very tiring connections was smooth. While waiting for one bus went into a charity shop and bought 3 books. Ones was a knitting book about cable knitting very useful. One was a book of healthy snacks and the last one was a crime book. So a happy bunny I was. The last bus journey took about 40 minutes. Through country lanes and places I didn’t know existed in my   Part of the world . Done me good . 

 A gentle droning noise from the sky overhead could be heard , looked up and a biplane was flying around in the clear blue sky.  A lovely sight and sound .

 Admired some roses in a garden as I walked by and said so to the man who was de-heading them , he very kindly  cut some for me . So beautiful they are. Thanked him so much . A small but simple gesture made my heart sing. 

 Found a pattern for some of the wool what was found a slight twist on a solid granny square not a English or American pattern . It’s in German I can read a bit of German but thank goodness it has got a chart to follow, not a great one to follow charts but I am going to give it a go. 

 While out shopping saw some really really lovely wool in a beautiful dusky pink and some dark grey which would go lovely with each other. I must admit it was really difficult not to buy any, but after the big stash which was found the other day I did not , but those colours will go in my notebook for an other time. I know I might not get the exact shades. 

 Son tiding out his wardrobe found a big black plastic bag and guess what was in it yes you got it one , more wool! Ho hum . How it got in the wardrobe I do not know. But the wool is staying . Mainly full balls of wool and a riot of colours . So I will not be buying any more wool for a very long time. If I remember correctly the wool shop closed down years ago and was selling the odd balls of wool very cheaply, so I think that is where most of this wool has come from.  To be truthful it was two black plastic bags it’s 100gms balls of wool  I haven’t counted how many yet! But a very happy me . 

 1. Went to big sis home . Had a lovely time. And came home with enough wool to last for ages . Don’t think I be buying wool for the rest of the year! Yes she is a woolaholic she knits and crochets too. 2. Was undecided whether to go out or not, but in the end went out. Went to the next big town and had a nice time strolling round. Some of my favourite shops closed down due to the covid. Shame. But had coffee and cake n my favourite cafe,  good to be back,  3. Now to look for patterns for my new wool stash can’t wait I am going to have fun. Notepad and biro at the ready to jot down ideas patterns and what colours etc oh what fun  

1.  Met up with a friend who I have not seen for a long time. It was a very good tonic for the both of us. It was very good catching up.  Have to do it again. 2. The technology glitch has been solved. I had a break from it. When it works it’s good but when it goes haywire it goes to pot. And that pot being me.  3. The honeysuckle has decided to bloom again but only in one place and the bees are buzzing round it like the proverbial bees around the honey pot.
