Hello there, I hope you are all ok. We've had some thunderstorms whilst I was at work this morning. I'm so glad that it's Friday and I've booked holiday for next week too. My parents, Brother and Niece are visiting for a week, staying at a local static caravan park. It will be good to see them all again.
Sewing on the table
I've got some sewing to be getting on with, first up is to sew 2 nightdresses using material that I bought on-line many years ago from My Fabrics. Then I'm going to make myself a summer dress, just waiting for all the supplies to arrive from Minerva online. If you're into dressmaking, have you used Minerva before. Any tips welcome eg have you registered an account for membership and discount off purchases?
Shopping on the table
Today after work I popped into Morrisons to buy flowers and items that Aldi don't sell. It's Friday Night Pizza for dinner tonight! My favourite is their vegetable pizza, the chicken and bacon is good too, if you can find it. I shop at Aldi once a week and either the poultry shop or the butchers.
On my last post I mentioned a weekend walk organised at church. Here are a few photos from the walk, the other side of Louth. It was after a short heat wave, the weather was much cooler, dry with a little rain. Thankfully Angus didn't end up in the pond that we found along the walk.
Beautiful Rhododendron along the route it's part field, woodland edges and part gravel track. It was an easy walk without hills, just 4 miles. Looking at these flowers reminds me of Clumber Park National Trust in Nottingham. The building was destroyed but the grounds are fabulous with massive rhododendron bushes. Great fun for kids hiding in them.
Another pond back at the beginning of the walk.
There's a Grand Prix on this weekend, so lots of knitting for me ha ha! I need to catch up with my reading again. There's nothing like setting a goal to get some reading done. It's not as if I don't enjoy reading, I just need to make time. Realistically I can read one book a week and I have 4 library books due back in a fortnight. I haven't ordered any for next time, so I may renew 2 books.
Reading at the table
I'm going to catch up with blog reading and some more knitting. Take care and have a lovely weekend. Do let me know what you have planned for the weekend.

Seeing the food on your table makes me hungry! Our fridge is rather bare at the moment. How nice to look forward to a week's holiday. I hope you have good weather for some nice outings with your relatives. Exciting to to get some sewing done! I have never made a nightdress, what pattern are you using? I sew a lot and have ordered from Minerva before, with mixed success. I am not a fan, I find their marketing aggressive and their membership scheme is part of this. I much prefer smaller outlets with carefully curated fabric and excellent customer service.
ReplyDeleteYour pizzas look delicious! I haven't had pizza in some time now. I was just thinking about making my own pizza dough for the first time. I think I'll give it a try soon. Gorgeous flowers by the way. Hope you are having a nice start to the week.
ReplyDeleteI hope you've enjoyed your week off, the weather has been mixed here though it's very warm and sunny today and we're forecast more of the same going over the weekend and into next week. Your walk looks lovely. We're so lucky in the UK to have some wonderful places to walk, I'm sure Angus enjoyed it too.
ReplyDeleteour kitchen table is where we put lots of stuff and do lots of stuff!!
