Oneputt was it your niece featured on BBC Look East recently?
Do let me know how Mrs Oneputt gets on. I'm wondering about giving some a go, but according to something I've heard they've to be overclocked or flat seamed. I don't have an over locker or an industrial machine. I like my new, well few years old now, machine but it's fastest speed is much slower than my older machine which would be getting on for 40 years old if I still had it, so itll be slow going as flat seams means twice the amount of sewing per seam. Don't suppose I'd do well on piece work!

Our car is not in the garage while not being used as unable gain access to batt(car just fits and unable to lift bonnet) so as unable to dispose of anything to tip(closed) have put trailer in garage and started to load it ready for when tip opens
Really sunny day today but quite windy ,quite gusty at times, on our 1700hrs walk ,a large tree had come down on the boundry of the cricket club,
We had a knock on the door this evening, it was one of the young "new"neighbours (not many in our area,) as we are mostly all "oldies" ,asking if we had ever tried on line shopping for food? if not she would do it for us if we give her list ,and we pay her after it had been delivered to us ,how nice is that,
We have already decided on an Aldi food box as it contains several things we normally get from them
whoops wrong thread it what we have been up to today

Well done her.
I was watching a video today on Facebook where someone was making an apron out of recycling bags. Probably not as strong as the real thing but probably perfectly serviceable in some circumstances.

Saw that photo on her fb page Oneputt. Looked at the neck and thought 😱😱😱 flat seams 😯😱😯😱😯.
New sewing skills are a tad rusty too. I could do the patch pockets no problems - hopefully they'd be on straight 😂😂😂. Might be able to manage the bag, but not committing myself yet as I've not seen one. I hope it would be like a P E bag, that probably dates me, but might have 'complicated' bits!!!
Looking forward to Mrs Oneputt observations on her experiences later.

We're out for our usual walk in the mornings usually for about an hour and a half. Currently we're keeping away from the village and sticking to the tops, if the weather turns we may have to find an alternative. Afternoons are spent either in the garden or spring. cleaning. Once a week I go to the supermarket for the week's shopping and I'll get a paper. We don't watch much television these days I prefer to watch Utube

I have jigsawitis. Don’t spend all day doing it, but I have to keeping popping in to see if I can find another piece. It’s a Tour de Yorkshire scene, peloton climbing up through Haworth streets. Flags, bunting, flowers, dozens of brightly coloured riders. And lots of brickwork and stone. I can’t find the lead riders face, am beginning to suspect the dog of eating it.
TdeY would have been starting next weekend. Cancelled of course. So my new cow bell is still in it’s box. I might have to resort to watching a few YouTube videos..........

I think I have enough bits and pieces in my garage to open a small hardware shop!!! Plumbing, electrical and nuts and bolts.

yes, i want to do ours but nowhere to dump stuff....it might as well stay reasonably tidy in the garage as dumped in the back garden///

Today we have been checking the weekend forecast (looking OK), making sure all our portable phone chargers are topped up etc, checking gas levels and preparing to wash out the water system.
Yes - we'll be hooking up the caravan after milking on Friday and heading west for a couple of days rest and relaxation.
No need to panic! We're just going down the track in this photo. At least a mile from any other house. One of the many many advantages of farming in a beautiful landscape.

Goldie - I am SO envious!! Could do with a dose of that right now. Hope you have a wonderful time. I'll just have to make do with sitting in the van on the drive for the time being

Boy you can go off of some folks 😉. Enjoy you deserve it!
Florist lady came round today for pittasporum and twisted hazel. All done at social distancing. Think I may have spent too much time in the garden - she commented on what a lovely manicured garden it was 😯.
Took my cur from that and have left it alone, sitting on it and reading.
Still awaiting Tesco delivery 2 - 4 slot, not that I'm going anywhere, just hoping I wasn't dreaming it was coming!

Wish we could just get our caravan into the back garden to pretend we're away. Not the same on the drive although we could pretend we were at somewhere like Chester where you can hear the M53.
This is our back garden. You would not know the M6 is behind the trees unless you heard the noise from the HGVs even though it's quieter than usual at the moment

Really likes to rub it in, eh.

The caravan is now almost ready to go. Water system flushed through. We usually go with EHU, and have never heated the water with gas in the 12 ? years we’ve had this van. So we tested it - all OK.
Bedding and towels ready. Just food, clothes, books, IPad etc to put in. Oh, and drink!
Roll on Friday.
