I went shopping today! :)
Got 200 sewing machine needles for a friend - 100 80's and 100 90's. Got the August issue of British Patchwork & Quilting and Sewing World Got two half metres of fabric - both beige backgrounds, one with a Paisley pattern, one with sewing things -scissors, pins, thread, and stuff.
Then we went to Canterbury Wholefoods and I stocked up on chocolate buttons for the next set of squishies.
Finished off at Whittards, where DH bought some coffee beans and I got another of their instant teas, which I like better than squash.
Not a long trip out, but a milestone in my recovery, and quite enough for one VERY hot afternoon!
Earlier in the day DH bought some long handles loppers, and I had another go at savaging some more off some of the bushes in the garden. There's a 3 foot high heap to be chopped down into little bits and taken to the tip in bags. He took 8 bags there this morning, from Richard's efforts yesterday!
I hope this fabric inspires me to get back to the sewing machine! :) Mind you, I have yet to unpack the stuff I bought just before going into hospital! It's still in the bag upstairs!
