Invictus melt and liquorice & Peppermint tea for me…
Things happen for a reason, I’m not sure what the reason was yesterday, but today for me was obvious, the sunrise… isn’t nature wonderful! If you’re in any doubt see my photo below, it’s not the best but you can see what I mean,
So after I had written my blog yesterday and decided I needed to get a wiggle on, Mark was just on his way out the door and I thought I had better check what time my sewing machine needed to be with the service centre tomorrow… oh wow all of a sudden I had a very different agenda as Jerrie the Janome was due a check-up at 10am that morning, as you can imagine I was running around like a Tasmanian devil, after having to box up Jerrie and find her documents, get myself showed and dressed, sort Arty, I was in a right flap, anyway I made it in time and left Jerrie in the capable hands of the service centre, with them promising to call when she was ready, but on the way out, just sitting there was a beautiful new Jerrie on steroids… A Skyline 3, of course the lady was quick to ask if I needed any help, to which I replied oh she is magnificent, she then proceeded to tell me that it was not worth upgrading to that one as it only had the same functionality as Jerrie, but look at this one! she said this is the best option for you! Of course it was, at additional few hundred euros… well by now she had me hook, line and sinker, so I sat down with her and thought what’s the harm in having a little demonstration, I will tell you what the harm is, €1,469.00 is the harm, but she proceeded to show me just what I would be getting for that money, well you will be pleased to no and so will Mark and my bank manager, that I thanked her kindly for showing me the possibilities and I left saying I would return for my Jerrie later that afternoon, that is not quite the end of the story, as when I returned home it’s didn’t stop me from looking on line to see if I could get the said machine for a better deal or even a second hand one, as you all know most of our home has been refurbished with preloved goods, and my whole sewing ethos is reuse and repurpose… I have still not purchased even a second hand one but who knows in the future maybe.
On to today and the reason things happen, well at 5:30 I woke and remembered that we had not put the bins out for collection, well 5:30 was a tad early to wake Mark up with me trundling the bins down the drive, so I waited will 6:45 and the beautiful view as the sun was coming up with the moon still high in the sky was breathtaking, I’m not good at taking photos as I’m sure you can tell by now, but that doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate the picture and give it a go, so I thought I would share the view over our pool, this was definitely the reason for not putting the bins out, and I’m very pleased I didn’t…
I hope you find something to smile about today…
