Bother!!

 Or another B word..... there is a very good café of that name on the way to Coromandel in NZ......

Patchwork border added...now it is a 5'6½" square.....and the lining to the top is 8" too narrow.....

So yes.  Op shop for a cotton sheet. I don't think  that I have a spare left. Plus finding the right padding for the inside...as the back is polycotton sheet, the usual polyester batting might be a bit too "hairy"". 

We'll see. At least the top is done.

Down to the village surgery this morning...I have a long standing sinus and throat problem...I pressed that button on the phone the second that 8.15 turned up......and got in second on the line!!

I was glad I did, having missed it yesterday and not got through until after 9.  It takes a lot of screwing up of courage to phone....and to go to the doctor. I was SO glad that our favourite doctor was on...she is willing to discuss and explain everything.

So I have a different nasal spray... antihistamine plus corticosteroid.

It works!!!! 

I'm still a bit run down and stressed. I don't really like living alone I've never really done that much of it! Less than ten years in total. There has always been  family, flatmate, partner, offspring of various ages....There again , ....I have to get used to it now. 

Today's big job....filling the back of the car ready to go to the cowp tomorrow.

There is still another load to be sorted...and hopefully a load to the metal recyclers...I won't get a lot , but it will be a handy something for my wallet!
