I’ve been quilting again today and still no issues. I’m not making a lot of progress each day – today I finished stabilizing the quilt and was able to start on quilting some of the appliqué pieces. It was time-consuming but it is fun to see it coming together.

Pat and I did a little furniture re-arranging today. The chair I’ve been using in the evenings for watching TV and knitting has never been a favourite of mine. Lately my neck and hip have been really bothering me and I decided it was from the chair. So we moved the big recliner that I was using off to the side and brought down a chair from upstairs. It’s a navy blue wingback chair and I’ll test it out tonight and see if it works better. This “new” chair is one of Diane’s Mum’s; when she died Diane asked me to store it for her, along with some other furniture. When Diane died I check to see if her kids wanted any of it but they both said I should keep it all.

We heard from the restoration people today – they should be able to get to us in another month. They don’t want us in the house when they are working (I’m not sure why) so when they are ready to start we’ll head over to Texada.

My car needed to go out for a spin today but before I went too far I had to get gas; first fill since March 8th! At just $111.8/litre it was a much cheaper fill than usual. I got a couple of items in the drive-through box at the post office. I’m glad I didn’t have to go in as there was a long line-up – some keeping their distance, some wearing masks and some not seeming to bother with any of it.

I think I’m going to go out to the deck and read for awhile before supper. Pat has another online meeting tonight so I may be there for awhile.
