How Did The Week Go So Quickly?

 ...........................I have no idea.

Five minutes ago it was the wet Friday when I abandoned a book, a jigsaw and a cross stitch and now its 8 days later.
I've been mostly at home this week apart from exercise group, taking my old hoover and some other bits to the Recycling Centre and getting a haircut. I didn't need to go food shopping but had Grandchildren photos on the memory stick to print and needed a new battery for the doorbell so had a quick trip to Diss for a change. 
(A new battery for the outdoor bit  of  the doorbell didn't make it work and I'd already tried new batteries in the indoor part, so I guess that means a new doorbell needed - bother)

As well as the short outings I finished the small cross stitch picture and got it into a card blank,


Got all my scrap book bits onto the table and filled up more pages


And read a good book 


Hope you have a good weekend - I shall return Monday if I can think of something to blog about.

  2. Good you were able to finish some projects, the cross stitch is lovely. I have just finished two crime novels by Mike Hollow, The Blitz Detective and The Canning Town Murder. Nothing gory ( not my thing) ,enjoyable and fairly undemanding. Sometimes that's what my brain needs.

  3. The little duck has turned out beautifully. It's definitely reading weather for me as I can't summon up the energy for anything else.

    1. It's another grey day here - not good for encouraging much useful activity. I'm trying to think of things to blog about!

    1. That's good going, the last sewing machine I had took me an age just to thread it up

  6. That cross stitch came out great! I still have Christmas stuff to put away as I have been sick for 3 weeks and have not had enough energy to do the job. Hopefully, this weekend I can get it done. 2026 has been a rough year for me so far.

    We got a light snow last night, and just enough to make the ground solidly white. No sun today. There could be more snow on the way.
    I did a big grocery shop yesterday.

  9. Your scrapbooking looks fun! I'm in the same position with a lamp that you are with your doorbell -- it died and I tried a new light bulb in the store and it still didn't work, so I left the lamp to be repaired. Now I need to buy a new light bulb, but I may be throwing good money after bad!

  11. Your cross stitch is lovely. I looked up E.R. Lorac as she is a new author to me. One thing it said was books with the original dust jackets can sell for thousands of pounds!
