I’m feeling much better today – a bit of a sore throat left but nothing I can’t handle. And the Vitamin D in the sunshine today will certainly help. It was an early night for me last night – in bed before nine and that was after we set our clocks forward!

I had my hair cut yesterday afternoon. I hate going to the hair salon although I really like my hair dresser. When I arrived we were chatting and I said that I had been debating about growing my hair longer and doing another wig donation but had decided I really wanted my hair shorter. She asked if she could cut it off in about 4″ chunks and her trainees could use it for testing with hair dyes. I was all in favour of that so I got a donation out of my hair after all.

We were up early as Pat had a flight to Victoria at nine. I had a woman coming over to take a look at some of my cross stitch magazines. Tina had taken me up on some patterns I had listed for free on Facebook and when I told her she was welcome to look at some of the other magazines I had she took me up on the offer. I had also asked another woman to look through them but she didn’t show up. Tina took about a dozen with her; my basket weighs much less now and I think I might hold on to the ones that are left. Tina gave me a lovely bookmark that she made, and she also told me of a good way to finish off some cross stitch projects.

It was close to noon before I made it upstairs to take up my quilting again. It is slow going but I have one more block finished. I thought I was ready to find a new stitching pattern but I found one more block that needs to be cross hatched if it is to look the same as the others. Slow but sure I guess!

I was barely into my quilting when the phone rang; someone was supposed to let a renter into the Hall but hadn’t shown up. We didn’t know who that “someone” was but thought perhaps they hadn’t set their clock ahead. I drove down right away and let them in but no one showed up so I guess “someone” forgot entirely. The woman said that next time she will just ask for me to be the “person in charge” because she knows she can rely on me!

I’m going to get my dinner ready early and spend the evening on a new knitting project. I may also stay up late and finish my book!
