weekend plans

A month ago I wrote a post about making another quilt. You can read about it here. Once again, I had a deadline because it needed to be completed by early this week as it was a retirement gift for a work colleague.

I met the deadline and here is the finished quilt.

This one included some new fabric bought specifically for the project as I simply did not have enough of the chosen colour palette.

I have been busy for the past week or so with finishing the quilt as well as working and being away from home for a couple of nights. However, it is now the end of the working week and no specific engagements for the weekend. The weather forecast does not include rain nor super-hot weather so GMan and I are looking forward to spending some time outdoors, particularly getting vegetable gardens back in order and prepared for planting now that the extreme heat is behind us.

I hope to bring you some updates from the home front before too long.

Enjoy your weekend, whatever you have planned.

My apologies for disappearing for nearly a week. This week has been a bit of a blur. On Monday GMan made a flying visit to Melbourne to attend the memorial service for a dear friend who died unexpectedly a couple of weeks earlier. It was an emotional day but I am so glad that we were able to attend. RIP, Carol.

The rest of the week has simply been going to work and doing my best to keep my head above water. A menu plan and meals in the freezer have been most welcome. Honey soy chicken was on the menu last night.

Now it is the weekend and this looks like being a full one. Tomorrow we are going to see Miss O play netball. It only seems like the other day that she was born and now she is 8 and playing her first season of Saturday morning sport fixtures.

After the netball match, GMan and I are heading off to a computer shop to look for a tablet computer to buy then out to lunch with my mother.

To round off the day we are going to see “The Lady in the Van” starring Maggie Smith. I am looking forward to this film as she is an excellent actress and I have enjoyed several of her other films.
