morning ladies More rain!
I haven't checked the mousetrap yet but the Furry One is still on the prowl so I don't think it has been caught. A friend has trapped three in her kitchen over the last few weeks. It's going to get worse when they cut the maize.
MrK has new reading glasses and they will be ready for pick up in two weeks. Specsavers are certainly cheaper, that's for sure. He picked a $69 frame (which looks really nice) so all up, including the lenses and eye exam using his goldcard, the cost was$99. We were expecting a massive bill, so this was a real surprise. Including petrol for two trips to Tauranga and one future trip, it was cheaper than an eye exam locally. That's just nuts.
The trip to Tauranga over the Kaimai Ranges was slow thank goodness. Coming back, there was this 'river' of water across the road. Really hard to see until you were pretty much on top of it. Thank goodness I was driving slowly anyway and the car behind us was keeping a good distance. There is so much water about already and the next storm hasn't hit us properly yet.
I decided to machine quilt our daughter's quilt as it was too hard on the fingers hand quilting even with the leather thimble. It's a shame, but I might hand embroider a bit here and there on it because I can.
Another day at the sewing machine today, I think. There's no chance of weeding with this rain.
Happy crafting
