I had seen a couple of these before, in New Zealand and Melbourne. To my surprise we found two fairly close together, possibly in the same suburb.
They both held a cache, this one was in a book entitled something about geocaching, when the book was opened, it was fake with the log book lying in the middle.
Warren has been doing parkrun for three or four years. At first I went with him to drive home thinking he may be too tired to drive home. Then I had the bright idea to take Lucy and she and I could walk while parkrun was happening.
All good as long as she cant see the runners as she knew he was part of it somewhere. Last winter I was having trouble sleeping and stopped going along.
Not sure where the idea came from but somehow I was going to walk parkrun. Sheridan offered to come with me and it was set for last Saturday. It had rained all night abd still raining when we woke up. Not a good idea so it was postponed to yesterday.
After making two elephants, I have started at the front of the book and Peggy Piggy is the first one. She is tiny at only five inches tall.
Here are the two elephants, dark blue one is smaller, dont know why.
Miss Peggy Piggy
She even has a tiny tail made from 8 chain doubled over, I tied it inside before stuffing the body. It only took two days to make her, I will probably make another couple, next one in white and then maybe a brown one.
It rained most of the night and morning. Lucy didnt get a walk. Boy, oh boy is she annoying when she doesnt get a walk. We think she understands several words but "urs raining" she doesnt understand.
I spent some time sewing in tge sewing room while Warren watched the cricket. From about 10am on, Lucy was tracking between the lounge and the sewing room looking at each if us with sorrowful eyes.
I finished what I was doing and checking the weather, it was only sprinkling so I put her harness on, she didnt even mind that I was taking her when Warren was at home. I decided to go to the local lake and walk around it.
Good plañ.
We were out walking today with Lucy. The lake where we were going was about 30kms away and it was fine when we left but had several heavy showers of rain while driving there.
No rain when we pulled up and we were just hoping it would stay away for the time we would be there.
We did get a few spots but noting serious.
At the top end of the lake run a reasonably busy street and I was taken by the dragonflies that had been stamped onto the posts. I stopped counting at 20.
I was gifted one of these a couple of years ago and I must admit that it gets used, its either in the sink or being washed.
However it has developed a hole.
Today I set about crocheting some new cloths. I had bought 12 balls of cotton from an op shop for the measly sum of $3. Just the thing for my project.
The balls are small and state that they weigh 1 oz, made in Australia so goodness knows how old they are. I remember going to decimal currently but not when we changed the weights, jt was after dc though.
Sure is!
Just a tiny one though.
I discovered a crochet book that I bought a few months ago, I read it and as I was making a blanket at the time, I put ut to one side. Actually I put it in the console that is between our chairs and forgot about it.
I made the elephant using the colours from my Christmas present. My sewing on of limbs needs to improve.
