morning ladies 
Another stunning day here today.
Olive, I know that regret. And it is expensive to replace what has been given away. But it doesn't all have to be bought at once. Just the basics like good scissors. You probably still have pins and the like and I'm sure things like tape measures are buried in draws somewhere.
That blimmen army worm! We haven't seen it in our garden but I'll tell MrK about it just in case. Might have to do a bit of research about them. It's colder in the Waikato so fingers crossed they don't go any further than Hamilton. Our silver beet has been munched on by the sparrows of all things. But I have never heard of rhubarb being attacked by bugs. We also thought the leaves were toxic and pretty much bullet proof bug wise. The bok choy MrK planted is doing amazingly well. The cabbage butterflies have ignored them completely. Maybe they just haven't developed a tasted yet for Asian vegies.
I am so pleased Serina won the Sewing Bee in last evening's final episode of the Great British Sewing Bee. I had her pegged from the start to win. Everything she did, she sewed well. And that praise from Esme... just whoah lol. I loved her dress (glad I wasn't sewing it though lol) although Raphs gown was stunning but it needed hemming. The floral number wasn't my cup of tea. It wasn't the design, it was the fabric. I think it would have been a lot more elegant in a different fabric.
Today I have the lawn to mow and edges to trim. MrK suggested I use some very old telephone cross bars from a pole for the edging of the garden I have extended. Which means more concrete edging to get rid of. But he's offered to cut the bars to size for me and cut angles so they sit well together. I am slowly working my way through his stash lol. He will be 79 next month and I suspect his timber stash will still be there after he has fallen off his perch so he wants to see this sort of thing being used. And I am more than happy to use the cross bars and get rid of the concrete. I have a plan where all the garden edgings are railway sleepers or old fence posts eventually. A slow and steady process.
Time to get cracking. Washing machine has beeped and I see the bottom of my coffee mug.
Happy crafting
