<\/a><\/p>\nBefore this disaster the week was on track – for a whole forty-nine hours before the blokes first ‘exorcism’ to be exact!<\/p>\n
I was determined to finish two things this week…..instead The Quilt and Textile Study Group of W.A’s web\/blog presence only advanced a little. I’ll try again in the coming week.<\/p>\n I was also determined to wade through the last eight ‘textile treasures’ boxes, then iron and photograph almost all of them – the damask tablecloths are not in my sights…. yet. On Friday afternoon we decamped to our little house where we did things, again in fits and starts, and tried to work out what we could eat that would settle. At least we slept undisturbed and we soaked up some healing rays during the day. The bloke set up a BIG new saw that he purchased before he was felled.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\nThe ironing was completed in fits and starts and I succeeded in photographing about half of the items early – the biggest ones.
\nThe photos spread here are some of the piles.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\nI grew up with the family fix of flat lemonade and vegemite toast. With no improvement I was over that<\/em> on day one unfortunately.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\nI finished my current novel Submission by Michel Houellebecq<\/a> – a very interesting (scary)<\/em> read but not quite light reading – amazing that I could concentrate on it.
\nAs usual, my feather collection advanced….a walk around the yard offers up a beautiful variety each week and I return with a small glad bag full.
\nIt gladdens my heart to find them.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\nThat kept him<\/em> positively focused.<\/p>\n
