SUNSHINY DAY

The sun is out, the heating is off and I am feeling good.

Yesterday we found some good bargains. I bought 3 hats, all £6! An Iron Fist t-shirt. I also bought a new flash gun for the camera and am very pleased with the pictures of my yarn it enables me to take, as well as of the dogs.

When the new car arrives, I shall be able to go out on my own if I want as we will have a ramp to enable Daniel to go in and out of the car without us having to lift him in and out. The luggage space is completely flat when the door is open, no deep lip like Octavia has. This is the poshest car I have ever had. It takes voice commands! It answers my phone and hangs up all with a button on the steering wheel. It has excellent fuel economy, 6 gears, Cruise Control. Wipers that come on the instant it is wet. An Ipod aux for the 8 speaker hi fi.

Above all, it is extremely comfortable for me. It is like sitting in armchair to drive. It has all sorts of bells and whistles which I am sure I won’t use or won’t know are there! It has loads of space in the back so not only can Daniel fit in but I could also fit all the dog show stuff too and dogs.

Oh, it’s a Ford Mondeo Titanium 2.0 TDCI Estate (Station Wagon) Turbo Diesel with 6 forward gears and 1 reverse.

Poor Octavia has lost all her appeal! I used to think she was the bee’s knees but she rather pales in comparison to the new one. I might call it Jeeves!

I am still dyeing and yes, I am still knitting daily in answer to those who thought maybe I wasn’t! I will take a pic of my Aran and post it. It is slow going but I am very pleased with it.

DOMESTICITY

Today I have arisen well. Not enough pain or stiffness that i needed help nor a big whack of drugs, just a small one.

Will be doing exciting things like clearing up dog poo, going to the tip to dump stuff we should have dumped a long time ago.

We are giving my first wheelchair, a manual that I can’t control myself, to the Cancer Charity shop. We will keep the manual I can control myself as a back up in case Daniel breaks down.

I intend to dye some yarn up today. I will be putting up two solids as well, a purple Baby Alpaca and a reddish merino/cashmere/nylon.

I will have to leave here about 5pm as I have a talk and demonstration of mediumship to give.

I bought a new Logitech wireless mouse yesterday at Tesco. It works much better than the one that came with my HP Pavillion machine. I have used HP machines for 10 years and have always found them solid and reliable. Just the wireless mouse on this machine has been temperamental.

Did I mention that I have found a milliner who will be making me a lilac Trilby? I have not found one anywhere on my travels nor by trawling the net so I am pleased I found this woman to make it for me.
