morning ladies 
A foggy start to the day.
Yep, OHH, you weren't alone with the swearing behind the mask yesterday. It's getting harder and harder to stay on budget. And it's not just us. Over the last few shops I've had complete strangers tell me over the dairy fridges how angry they are at the prices. At least we have the vegie garden in so that's a saving. But I'm finding instead of shopping at one place, I'm spreading our shopping around. We have a lovely local vegie place that sells gorgeous jumbo eggs for $6.99 a tray. Pack 'n Save had 10 eggs for the same price.
Ranunculus will look lovely with your cyclamens too, OHH. Gorgeous colours for dull winter days. I have three spots in the garden that need serious attention over winter so will start over the next few days. One is evening out the curve of a garden to make it easier to do edges and mow. The other is being ripped out and left for lawn and the third is planting the hydrangeas along the road frontage. Our (using the royal 'our' here) long term plan is starting to take shape. Then in the spring I will put some fresh soil onto the new spaces and start planting. There is no point putting fresh soil on until I have it all done as I will be buying it by the trailer load.
My sister-in-law is coming for lunch today so a quick blat around to tidy up. The Furry One will be one happy dog as she is bringing two dogs with her. The Dalmatian (the one I embroidered) is a young dog and races round madly with our boy. The ridgeback is old and just wants peace and quiet. I must pick the Furry One's teddy bear up and put it away. He loves that bear lol and snuggles up to it every evening but the Dalmatian loves it too and is still at the shredding stage with soft toys. I didn't realise the Furry One was in the background of the pin cushion photo lol. He sits on the back of the couches so he can see the comings and goings on the road without poking his nose outside. And it gets nice and sunny there.
Will work on the butterfly hopefully today
Happy crafting
