morning ladies 
We have a thick, soupy fog outside this morning but I'm sure it will clear away soon. I must admit it makes for a lovely cool start to the day.
The digging is done for now in the new garden/lawn and I'm confident I have most of the concrete slivers and stones picked out. I have a small pile of concrete that we missed throwing onto the tractor bucket but they can go in the bin over the next few weeks. The sparrows are loving having the dirt as their dirt bowls and there are little indentations where they have dust baths. They did this three summers ago when I got rid of the concrete fill on the other side of the garden and MrK had the soil all raked ready for lawn seed lol.
I'm beavering away with my embroidery and am happy with the padded satin stitch along the frog's back. It's a fun embroidery to do but uses heaps of thread with the extra padding.
Just a warning ladies about locking your door while you are outside. My sister-in-law was watering her garden Sunday evening when her dog started barking and growling like crazy. Someone had entered her home from the back and stole her wallet and car keys. The dog chased them off but they still stole. She spent yesterday cancelling cards, getting a new drivers licence and sorting out car keys. They also managed to figure out her PIN number as her Covid card was in her wallet and her PIN number was her year of birth. A lucky guess that cost her $$$$$. So please make sure your back door is locked when you are working outside and your PIN numbers cannot be guessed. And learn how to block cards using the bank apps and to use 'find my phone' to lock your phone if anything happens. You can use your laptop or tablet for that. (I used it to find my sister's phone Boxing Day).
Lawns need mowing so I'm off to get that done. Washing is finished so will hang that out first.
Happy crafting
