Very late entry today! I have had a busy and productive day, and been out this evening so lots to write about. I left here about 8.40 am to go to the swimming pool. My ankle was sore, and I am trying to cut down on using the support. Walked up there okay and the pool wasn't too crowded. It was still the dreaded lane swimming when I arrived but only about four of us in our lane so manageable. Then they removed the ropes. Definitely managed 22 lengths, maybe a couple more that that, slow but sure, but hopefully now will go more regularly. Walked home and had a short rest, then went down to make scones for the church fete tomorrow. Used a recipe from that really old book I bought a few weeks ago and they turned out really well. Darren got home as I was finishing and came up and helped me get the new printer set up. I know I am being very shallow, but I liked the look of this one!
We printed one of yesterdays pictures on basic printer paper and it was pretty good.
I had cut out the fabric for draw string bags, I carried on making them today but they take a surprisingly long time. I do have six made for tomorrow though.
I ordered some pebbles last week that glow in the dark, I had though they were actual pebbles that had been treated. They are not and they are really quite funky. May get them out on some trays tomorrow. They need a couple of hours daylight to glow for a while at night.
Loot a bit like jelly beans!! I bought an old fashioned scrap book in The Works this week, though I would keep my 70th birthday cards in it. Decided to cover it with some of the attractive material I have.
I have made up three book marks, got the laminator out or storage. These were copied on the new printer from the originals I wrote and they copied really well, again on basic paper.
This evening Sandy and I went to a curry and Bollywood night in aid of a ministry that helps children in India. There was a presentation and a quiz which was fun, the food was fantastic and then three children, two very young ones entertained us with some Bollywood dancing.
Sandy drove round the bays, as like me she loves the clouds and skies.
All in all a good day. Off to bed now!

A very busy day for you. And a nice one too from the sounds of it. Glad the swimming went well. You'll soon get back into it and be doing 50 lengths!
ReplyDeleteLove the bags you've made for the fete. I really hope they sell well. They should, because knowing you, you won't charge enough :-)
Buying it because it looks nice is a pretty good reason to get a printer, as long as it actually prints too, which it seems as though it does, so that's lucky!
The evening out really topped off your day, as it sounds like the food and entertainment were both good. I think I'd have enjoyed it too. The ride round the bays is always a good end to a day.
Yes Mike, I am sure you would have liked the evening, maybe they will have another one. Very pleased with the printer, not that I do that much printing these days, but good to have when you do want something.
