New ones put in today, they are deafening!
Six of them whereas we only had two battery ones before.
One in the passageway alongside of the sunlight.
The one in the study, these are naybe two metres away from each other. Same with our bedroom and hallway.Pretty common vegetable I would have thought, its one that features fairly regularly on our menu.
Today, I had to pick up a couple of grocery items, mainly dry dog food for Lucy and so I grabbed a few other things as well.
One being a humble half a cauli. A young girl was on the check out, she looked about sixteen and she put the groceries through and packed them in the trolley quite neatly, one of the last was the cauliflower, she picked it up, looked at it then grabbed her cheat sheet for the price of vegetables then asked me what it was.
When I told her, she said that she thought that was what it was but I dont think she did. Well they say you learn something new every day, now she knows what a cauliflower looks like.
I dropped two handbags off last week at Bunnings. They are the collection point for the bags. The point of STD bags is for women who have left home because of domestic violence.
Thinking about what a woman may have in their bags. Every thing needs to ve new and unopened.
I put in deo, tooth brush and tooth paste, hand cream, lipstick, hand sanitiser, soap, tissues pen and small book, hair brush and small towel.
I used to do Operation Shoeboxes for kids to be sent overseas but as well as what was in the boxes and a lit can fit into a shoebox, $10 for postage was expected to go with them.
The bags are used locally which I liked, help for our own.
I have started next years collection might do five. I bought two bags from op shops tk use but one wasnt big enough so I repurposed a backpack bag that I bought myself but hadnt used. Nice idea but not me.
When I took the bags to Bunnings, they had a big crate about 2 metres square and it was half full.
Not much crocheting got done during November but I did make this.
Nanowrimo was a slog this year. I wrote or at least sat at the computer for about three hours each day for the month of November. I did take some time off and only wrote two or three hundred words on those days.
I finished on 30 November with 50, 299 words written.
Its two weeks since I posted something. It is November and that means Nanowrimo or national November writing month. My twelfth year this year and after two years of writing short stories, I am writing a novel again.
I did spend a bit of time thinking about writing but only settled on a story line two days before. I have cheated a little, took an idea from a book that I read and twisted it to suit. Of course like always it has taken off in a direction I didnt expect which had me researching wills being contested. I haven't solved that one yet, its an ingoing storyline but I do know how that bit will end up jyst got to tweak it a bit more.
Its day fifteen and by the end od todaý, I should have written 25000 words, currently I am at 24568. Yes, I should go and do a bit more, main character gas been at a vintage clothes market, again, I know little about that but it sounded interesting. Goggle comes in handy.
I did come on here to talk about last nights dinner, quick and easy us the way when I am writing so steak and mushrooms with greens. The steak was Waygu beef,bit expensive but the tray gave us three meals and it was very tender.
Chain V stitch was what we learnt last week. It can be done as a solid colour or a two colour way.
I learnt it as one colour but most of us were having trouble keeping the line of chain out of the way so when I got home, I did a sample using two colours. Looks good but cant let the colour trail as its every row it needs to be changed.
Anyway, I mastered it, not sure what I would use it in. The example that Robyn brought in, looked like a place mat.
