Earrings and windows!

I knew I would be in today and not in my own rooms so I gathered together the earrings and pins, in a muddle is putting it mildly, and also got together my cards top for writing to friends so that I had plenty to be getting on with.
I started spreading the earrings over the table and trying to match ones that had lost their partners!
They started working on Darren and Tina’s bedroom window today.
Lots of pairs hung on the main stand, I don’t need to use the other one now.
I had taken card, scissors and a pin down and got all the pairs I am not keeping carded up to take to the charity shop.
I always struggle with keeping the pairs of earrings that have bars and don’t hang in order, so I have marked them up in a few boxes.
My bedroom window is finished, Chris, the boss guy said he would demonstrate opening it as it needed a bit of a knack.
I added a few more pins to my unwearable waistcoat so they weren’t loose getting lost!
I nipped the carded earrings and some trinket boxes across to the charity shop. This plant is in the front garden, it did have green foliage but looks pretty now is dying off.
Took a couple of pics of men at work as I came back down the drive!
I cleaned the secondary glazing for my sitting room before it goes back up.
I did get three short letters written before cooking dinner and had my window demonstration, so roll on bedtime!
I have lost the impetus for gardening, have been so focused on decluttering, but I did go out and water the bonsai trees. Maybe the mood will take me tomorrow!

  1. You have been busy with earrings. You do have a lot! One for every day of the month I think 🙂 You certainly made a good job of sorting them and very impressed at the charity shop pairs all being on card. You should get a job there.
    I like all your pins on your waistcoat. Which reminds me, do you ever wear the badge I sent in the Christmas box?
    The windows are coming on very well. It also gives you new subjects to photograph 😊 It looks a bit weird seeing that open window. Don’t think I’ve ever seen one in that house 😊
    You’ll get back into the gardening at some point. It’s been way to hot to be doing it anyway.
    Enjoy your evening…….with an open window 😂

  2. Yes, I have worn both the badges, that is why they aren’t pinned on the waistcoat.
    It has been a productive day today and I doubt I would have got around to organising the earrings if I hadn’t had to find something to do for a few hours! Pleased that I have, now I will have to be disciplined in putting them back in the evening!
    I am really delighted to have the window open.
    Chris opened the top as I couldn’t reach it, but that will probably be permanently open as it is under the big eaves so won’t let rain in. I always used to sleep with a window open, so it will be good to sleep with one open again. The only downside is that when the pub garden is noisy next door I will her it much better!
