The rain has arrived

The sky is very grey and ominous, it had rained in the night and just now its drizzling, we could do with a decent downpour the garden is so dry.

We pulled rhubarb yesterday, a bag full has gone to our friends, they collected it from the door step this morning. I kept some back to use at the weekend.

Just having my morning tea and then tackle the bedroom, doing it every week it does not get too bad, mind you when I empty the Gtec I wonder where all the muck and dust has come from. Heating is off, I put it on first thing and then switch it off. At night we use the electric blanket to warm the bed slightly before we get in. We are wearing jumpers if it feels cold. 

My feet are often cold, due to my bad circulation so when I am sitting at night I wrap my feet in a fleece blanket.

I have one bag to finish and another to make up, that will use the last of the fabric, so not a bad haul. On to the embroidery machine then to do another of the lace mats, takes 4 hours, so I need to see if my machine goes back to where I stopped sewing so I can, if necessary, turn the machine off. The new iron is great, so far no nasty brown stuff on the new ironing board cover.

Supper tonight is sausage, mash and baked beans, just a wee bit of the apple and blackberry crumble to finish off for dessert.
