What a change

From boiling hot yesterday, to what feels like freezing cold today!! We have had some rain, it is very overcast and windy........and at least 10o cooler.

I started on my Christmas sewing last night, have got the start of 12 angels done, I do them two at a time in the 5 x 7 hoop I have, turn them sideways, works great. Want to get 2 more done today. I have also sorted out fabric for the mandala, plain calico with the embroidery done in a matching beige thread.

DB will not be gardening today, I got a mystery box of plants yesterday, there are two red hot pokers. Remember the problem we had with them at the cottage. I am going to put them in a big pot which we can stand in the herbaceous bed.........There is a shrub that is being crowded out by the Rhodi and the Laurel, so its going to have to come out and fill a hole somewhere else.

I took the glass front off the second oven yesterday and cleaned it, had I known you could do that I would have done it before. I need to take the big oven glass off and clean it, then take photographs, I am going to advertise it on Gumtree and also in the local paper. The top oven has been used twice the bottom never. I either use the remoska, PKP or the panasonic combi. If I could I would just put a gas hob in, but doing that means radical changes in the kitchen and I am not prepared to spend that sort of money. Had I been in my 50's I would have, but not now. Waiting to hear from the company re the new cooker.

Supper tonight is sausage, mash and beans. Dessert will possibly be a choc ice. Delivery coming tomorrow afternoon, the fridge and cupboards are looking a bit bare.
