morning ladies 
We have an awful lot of rain so far this morning.
Thank you popeye for the birthday wishes. The year does whizz by pretty quickly now.
I cut up a pair of those grippy socks the hospital dish out and stitched them to some knitted slippers for dad and that worked for him as well.
I agree with this waka jumping. National have a very short memory when it comes to the messes they make within their party. At least this was quick and clean(ish).
Yesterday I finished the weeding
(for now lol) and finished our daughter's quilt. So a productive day all round. The roadside garden is next on the list 
I also need to buy some dodacky things to put the wire up along the fence. And MrK wants to string some wire up near our gate so he can espalier another camelia.
About a month or so ago we planted a swan plant as a monarch butterfly was hanging around and kept loosing the caterpillars to praying mantis'. Now that the dahlias where they were hiding have been cut back, the caterpillars are growing like mad and we have two chrysalis' as well as some more baby caterpillars. I just hope the warm weather continues long enough for them to finish their life cycle. We did spot another monarch around yesterday so they are still here.
Today I'm taking our friend to his second monthly appointment at the hospital. By the time we are home, that's pretty much most of the day done and dusted.
Happy crafting
