Seemed like a good idea at the time!

This morning I went out early to the post box, keeping the post office in business! On my way out the out I noticed that the strange thread from the guttering had come low enough for me to reach it. I pulled and pulled, it went right along the guttering, very long. The leaves had become solidified over time, very strange. There really was a lot, I gathered it up as the cats or birds would have got tangled up in it.

This morning I did some household chores, and got some cotton washed and on the line as I planned to attempt making a face mask. I also managed to get quite a bit of ironing done which had been sitting there likening at me for quite some time! There was a delivery while I was upstairs and it was a lovely surprise for me. I really like the caramel lattes and haven’t been to the shop to get any for a while, I usually only buy them when they are on offer. Tina had sent for a box dull for me, 48 drinks I think, that will keep me going for a while!

I did go out into the walled garden for a while, nothing too heavy today, just a bit of clearing and tidying. Even little bits helps to get the whole thing in better shape.

My sister in law said she thought I would be making face masks, it hadn’t crossed my mind but seemed like a good idea. I found a pattern and Tina printed it off for me. I hadn’t got suitable elastic but you could make it with ties. I made a start cutting out some material before getting my tea and watering the gardens,

This evening I have nearly driven myself up the wall. The ties are a fiddle to make and making sure you don’t catch them in the seams is a challenge. But it was getting the pleats right that really challenged me as the instructions were less that clear! I have ordered elastic which will make it much easier but it isn’t due to come for a dew weeks.

The next one will be easier!
