sewing amongst other things

i found this pic on the net. what a colourful young lady she is. her outfit brightened up my day.

did you enjoy your long w/end? mine wasn't bad. firstly, sil couldn't put new stereo in car as he couldn't get the old one out. bummer. i have an appointment next saturday to get it put in at strathfield's. saw g/children so that's good. i'm minding them next w/end whilst mum goes to fancy dress party.

i had lunch today with maz who gave me a lovely buddha, candle, japanese sand garden thingy for my b/day. it's lovely. i'll take a pic and show you. she is doing well. we played pokies together and won $10 each. well done us.

rang my sister on saturday night. her son is going to bali tomorrow. i'm jealous.

i made pea soup and it's horrible. the peas are still solid. yuk. it's salty too. i used to make excellent pea soup. now i use veg. stock instead of ham bones coz they are usually so strong and salty. never mind. i've got some veg. patties in the george atm. they were from a packet and very greasy. diet is up the creek atm. i must refocus.

desp. h/wives final is on tonight. i'm sure it will be ott. over the top. just as i like it. ;0

i got the sewing machine out today and a) took up the tracky daks that were two feet too long and b) took in two tops that were way too big for me. after lots of swear words i got the job done. only just. i found out today that maz can't sew on buttons so i don't feel too bad about my dreadful sewing skills. i used to make all of my own clothes when i was a h/wife. two hundred years ago.

anyhoo, have a great week everyone. i hope it's a good one for you. :)
