Abandoned x 3

 Last Friday when it rained hard all day, would have been perfect for getting on with the any of the things  started during the week.........reading, cross stitching or the jigsaw puzzle.

But the cross stitch I'd started - a small bookmark kit that had been hanging around for years  - turned out to have some really odd colours that were all similar and I didn't like them - I gave up and found the threads and Aida needed for doing  a little picture I've done umpteen times before as it makes a nice little card plus I realised I only have small two-fold aperture cards left now anyway. So can't do anything bigger without buying more card blanks.


I tried to do some of the outer edge of the jigsaw puzzle but the sky edge was impossible, there seemed to be too many pieces. So gave up on that too. Now I don't even fancy doing either of the other jigsaws found during the summer. I think I'll get my scrap book things out on the table instead.

And finally I started the British Library Crime Classic Death in High Heels by Christianna Brand. I've read several of her others that BLCC have published previously and they've all been good. But this one was just silly. It turns out it was the first book she wrote and had published so she must have improved later.
And after the huge pile of books from the library van it's not as if I'm short of good reading.

Back Soon
