Fair dinkum

...and, of course, listening to neighbours arguing makes me very grateful to remember there are worse things than being alone...

I'm grateful today started cooler and cloudier so I didn't do what I've done twice in the last week and think I'd like to go out, go through all of the palaver of getting ready...and then decide I was too tired to go. I'm grateful it was pleasant enough and I was energetic enough to take some letters to the post box though, and a very smelly rubbish bag to the bin...

Watching the struggles outside to find and use parking space efficiently, I give thanks I don't have a car. In fact I give thanks I never have driven outside of a lesson or it would be one more thing to miss. I have enough trouble steering knitting needles or regulating the speed on a sewing machine to even think about it now, but sometimes I do look rather longingly at those big fancy mobility scooters...got nowhere to park it though!

I'm grateful for finding a new source of bargain fabric on ebay. I bought some and laid it out on the floor in roughly the shape of a dress to give the fairies an idea of what I'd like them to do while I get on with something else...like finishing other projects on the go...

I'm grateful the second version of my hair has a blonde streak. When it first appeared I thought, get over yourself it must be grey, but no, it's definitely blonde!
