My latest sewing contribution.
Shorts dont hang as well as dresses. Think there were nine pairs of shorts, another three pillowcase dresses, these are so easy to make.
I have joined a charity for sewing, meet once a fortnight so I am committed to making things for them. More on that later.
These seem to have appeared in the last few days. They are quite high, by mg reckoning about 12 to 18 feet above ground.
I stood on the path taking photos and without leaving the path, I could count twelve of these boxes.
It is planned to take out some trees because a larger water/sewerage pipe needed to be laid. We can only assume that the boxes for nesting birds are to make up for sone trees coming down.
These are the bare spots of where trees gave been removed. Lucy and I counted 23 trees gone from here. I counted, then did it again for Lucy, coming up with the same number.
Which I dont know too much about yet but learning. Last year my doctors sent me for a blood glusoce test which involed three lots of blood taken an hour apart.
My blood sugar levels didnt go back to normal as quickly as they should have, it would be monitored. I know that thirst is a symptom and about six weeks ago, I did start to experience sudden thirst so organised a blood test. The levels were higher than last year which offically made me a diabetic.
Dr gave me a script for one daily tablet a weekly injection, I also needed to have an eye test, another blood test and a wee test to check my kidneys and a further apt with her in two days, that was today.
I went to two chemists who both told me that the injection is unavailable and has been for some time. Saw a care plan nurse today then the dr again who just needed to sign off of nurses suggestions. Dr also suggested a chemist who may gave the injection, they did so I was able to get it and give myself the first dose.
So care plan is, two visits to exercise guy and a diabeties person in two weeks a follow up with dr in a month.
Basically stay away from sugar, chocolates, etc and high fat foods.
My blood sugar level was 6.4 today when I saw the nurse which I thought was pretty good.
This week I have seen Dr, eye dr, had blood test, had a hearing test, seen the care nurses, (they did suggest a dentist visit until I said I had false teeth) back to dr and tomorrow I am having a mammogram, not connected.
We own and travel in a Cub camper trailer and a couple of years ago Warren joined a group on facebook of Cub camper owners.
Its mainly for people to ask fir help or suggestions to fix or make things better when setting up or whatever.
A few months ago the organisor of the club advised of a get together not that far from us.
We said we would go and booked in tk the caravan park for two nights.
There was a plan for the weekend. We got there at lunch time and early birds had gone to visit a neighbouring town and cheese factory. After setting we decided to drive there as well but factory closed at three so we missed out there and did some other things so not a wasted trip.
Happy hour was at five and we met the other group members about 20 or 22.
Saturday morning was a viewing of each others Cub, they are all so different, some were very new and a bit bells and whistles.
Trivia in the afternoon followed by bare foot bowls then dinner at the club house. Two guys from Cub and they put up the money for every ones dinner, very nice and unexpected.
My third project finished but with some changes. I was going to make a hexagon bag which needed 13 squares.
I had ordered some cotton yarn from Hobbi based in Denmark. I bought a pack of ten balks in shades from white to a dark teal.
Working it up, I figured that I wouldnt use the small hexabag very much so I would need more to make a square bag. Nine by nine for front and back and then three for each side, 13 jumped to 24. Putting it together, I had done 25, hum, do I make another one and make another chook? I used a bigger hook so the fill could have come out. Made two more squares for the base, I wasnt goung to worry about a base as it is lined with fabric, 27 squares made altogether.
I made straps from the same fabric that is the lining.
Another of my holiday projects finished. I had done the crocething part last week but had not put them together.
Today I got out the glue gun and twenty minutes was all it took to tranform circular pieces into angels.
We went to North Lakes for lunch last week, they had an enclosed area as well as an open deck. The open deck looks out onto the lake.
We shared a plate of calamari salad and coffee.
We strolled around the lake after, thankfully the rain had stopped.
Warren saw the mound first and pointed it out to me.
