I intended to go sewing with the Guild today but I spent so much time downstairs yesterday listening to music I didn’t get very far on my quilting. I really want to get this quilted and bound before the Texada retreat so I decided my time was better spent at home working on that. I have about another day’s work left and I’ll be ready to cut and attach the binding. I’ll do the hand stitching at the retreat at the end of the day when I’ve run out of steam to do anything that requires thinking.

A couple of weeks ago I was visiting a friend in hospital and then a week later I couldn’t see her because she was in isolation. I had word she was home from the hospital late last week so I called her this morning and she said she was feeling up to having some company. I took tea with me because I didn’t want her to have to put out any effort on my behalf. Her sister was there as well so the tea didn’t go as far but Shirley got two cups. We had a nice visit and I was glad that she was very much improved from her time in hospital.

We aren’t expecting anyone for Hallowe’en and we will turn the lights off in case anyone happens to be in the neighbourhood. It is a nice day and will be a good evening for anyone who is out.

We’re off to the Island tomorrow for a concert and a shopping trip to Costco. We’re seeing Connie Kaldor and I’m looking forward to a show in a venue other than the Hall. I have our shopping list ready – a keep a running list of things we have bought there and just refer to it on the next trip. The list isn’t as long as I thought it might be but there is still a lot on in it and we usually pick up one or two things that weren’t on the list.

For the rest of the afternoon I’ll do a bit more work on my Baubles.
