morning ladies 
There is even more rain today by the he looks of it.
We have another rat, I spotted it running along the fence while doing the dishes last evening. The maize hasn't been cut yet thanks to the rain, so we are going to have these extra visitors for a while. I'll put more bait out today.
MIca, I think it is a sign of the economic times to not eat out as much. I read this morning that mortgage rates have exceeded the stress level tests the banks did to new home owners. The sparky who fitted our oven was saying his mortgage has gone up over $100 a week. Something has to give budget wise.
Roma, I can imagine the garden when you return home! It's not just the rain, it's the warmth as well. I'm still mowing lawn once a week and it's like spring growth. We are having a few breaks in the weather and the other day I even had washing dry outside.
Yesterday I weeded where the camellia will go and today I'll buy the screw things we need to hook the training wire too. The espaliered camellia beside where the new one will go looks very pretty flowering. I'm going to suggest to MrK we have espaliered camelias all along the fence which will mean taking out some shrubs.
Yesterday I started setting up my embroidery frame, there are two sides left to stitch to the fabric. I'm going back to embroidery while my sewing machine is out of action. Still to decide what to embroider. Did you notice the headdress Kate and Charlotte wore to the coronation? They were both hand made with silver embroidery on the leaves. To have that level of skill would be amazing.
Happy crafting
