Garage sale and sending Darren to see ‘The Surviver’

We were setting up well before nine in the front garden and Sal and Carol set up all round the lawn and near the front, they have an awful lot of stock. It was a hot day and quite a few people came round the garden. We didn’t do too badly as I had actually taken more than half of the stuff I had been storing to the charity shop over the last few weeks.

The Surviver puppet was visiting Hornsea today and there was also gong to be sand art. I was at the stall all day so Darren came to my rescue and went to the front to take a photo!

He also saw an incredible book which I thought I would be good at or throw out of the window! They are amazing but really, really complex to make, so maybe I will just enjoy looking at them, or draining some and colouring them rather than getting the equipment needed to actually make them in fabric!

It was surprisingly tiring sitting around waiting to sell stuff, so feeling weary this evening. When I got the opportunity I tried phoning the hospital to try and get an update on my sister. I was not getting through and had a text from Rose who was also trying to get some information. When we had packed away I tried again and when the ward weren’t picking up I tried main reception and told them of my difficulty. The receptionist was very apologetic and actually got me through to the ward. The nurse I spoke to would not give me any information but sid take the hone to Margherita so that I could actually talk to her. She sounded fine and and is having physio to try and get her leg working again. I was able to tell Rose the update and put her mind to rest a bit.

We do intend to go to the boot sale tomorrow, but part of me is hoping the rain that was mentioned arrives as the garden is desperate for a drink and I am desperate not to start watering!!
