Wednesday

Good morning, everyone.  It's the tenth - we are a third of the way through April - how on earth did that happen?  Where's the time going?

At least it's not raining today.  Yesterday morning it was chucking it down as I drove to Sainsbury's; pretty unpleasant driving conditions, in fact, with a lot of semi-flooding to drive through (which had drained off by the time I came back).  I managed to find what I went to look for, which I was pleased about, but decided not to then cross town to Tesco.  I'll go there another day.

At home, I'm afraid I didn't move a single book although I did think about it!  I got sidetracked into going through my clothes again as I'm short of space since I inherited some of Mum's clothes.  It was worth doing, definitely, and the Sally Army recycling point is now a little bit more full!  There was one skirt that I've never worn but I can now - it was too long, however, so I turned it up and once that was tacked and ready for machine sewing up, I started on the half finished skirt that I found in Mum's office.

Looking at it more carefully, I now think was intended to be the skirt part of a dress with a double row of buttons from top to bottom, but is easily adapted, the main problem being that as the wrapover at the front is bigger than I thought, I'm not going to get into it for a while.  I'll finish all but the buttons and button holes (and hem, of course) and it can be a 'target skirt'.

I was going to take the bus into town this morning to get some things for Dad but I have time to do that so I'm going to stay home and get properly stuck into those books instead.  That's the important thing really and I need to devote a couple of hours to it.  Once that's done, my bedroom needs a good sort out.  It's amazing how books seem to escape into my bedroom and I'm sure they are breeding in there!!!

All that, alongside a bit of ironing and the usual everyday chores, should keep me busy and out of trouble today.  Have a good day, everyone.

(edited to add - I didn't get the sourdough bread started yesterday - maybe today!)
