that was......we set off just after 9am, it was wet and windy but a reasonable journey, the dreaded roundabouts in Chesterfield were navigated wiithout DB's usual ranting, which was a relief. Handed the machine and arm etc over and set off for the garden centre where we had coffee and a wander. I saw a really pretty 'tree' with built in lights, I gave into temptation and bought one. Ir will do fine to hang some of the small ornaments on.
We left the garden centre and went to the Toby pub and had a carvery lunch. I rang Tim, the machine was ready, just being tested, so we were away from there just after 2pm. It was a piece of gold thread that had causes the problems. We called at B & M in Loughborough on the way home and I picked up some bits including the cloths I like for washing up etc. Home, exhausted, just before 4pm. We managed to get the machine into the house and back on its table.
I spent an hour last night finishing the star that caused all the problems, fiddling a bit, I managed to pick the pattern up where I had run into trouble and finished the star.
We were both shattered, my leg was letting me know that I had driven over 100 miles, so a double dose of painkillers. I did wake once in the night, my knee was letting me know that it too had travelled 100 miles, but it soon settled and I was asleep, finally woke just before 9am, so a quick shower, we had a grocery delivery due.
Yesterday was tiring, I hope its not a journey I have to make again anytime soon.
Towels in the washer, they will have to go in the dryer, rain is forecast once again.
Not sure about tonights supper yet, will see whats on the menu board.
