[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 306618, member: 1991"] G'day, folks. Rabbit, it's summer here. At least it has been today. The peach tree is losing its petals and already in lime-green leaf. The wisteria and jasmine are almost finished flowering but the fragrance is still very strong. Today especially, I saw people at the beach enjoying a swim, so the water must be warming up also. Today has been hot, 30 C (86 F). We've had a very productive day. difficult child 3 worked mostly on his Maths study while easy child 2/difficult child 2 arrived early to begin sewing. I had cancelled my cleaner (he was one more factor I could do without) so I had to do my own hanging out of washing and also my own heavy stirring in the kitchen. Bridesmaid No 4 arrived with her new baby and her dad. They were able to stay until 2.30 pm and in that time we got the dress mostly made. We still need to overlock the seams, adjust two back seams, finish the neckline (facing etc) and sew in the sleeves (currently tacked). Then time for another fitting and work on the hem. My friend has offered to do the overlocking and other bits of sewing for us including sewing the hem once we get it pinned exactly right. I had to call her at one point, she had the purple thread for the dress, so she told me how to break in to her house (ie which door she leaves unlocked even when staying away overnight) so we went down to rummage through her house to find one reel of purple cotton! I cooked a quick lunch for us all and kept on with my chores while still being available to help with the sewing. I still need to do a lot of my own sewing, I'm tired but had a chance to catnap once the bridesmaid and her dad had gone. I've had the crockpot working away but I'm not sure it's finished cooking yet. It could be leftovers again tonight. At least for difficult child 3. The washing dried well - we've had a hot wind blowing all day which has dried four loads of my washing plus easy child 2/difficult child 2's load. Our washing machine takes twice as much as most others, thankfully the wind WAS drying clothes fast because we were running out of line constantly. I've done four sheets, four blankets and two loads of clothing. I'm wrecked! The final load was almost dry when the forecast storm began to move in. I got the two wool blankets off the line five minutes before the first raindrops. And I just checked the radar - it looks like the storms have passed. Time to get difficult child 3's bedding to him so he can make up his bed. And if I can tonight - I'll get MY sewing done. Maybe. Enjoy your Tuesday. Marg [/QUOTE]
