Confined to Barracks

 We've now got all three lambs on the ground from the early lambing group, two ewe lambs and a ram lamb. All were straightforward, nobody needed any help. All nice lambs.

I'm on the second day without a car, because it was booked in for a service and the mechanic accidentally ordered in the wrong parts. I've not been too well so I'm not complaining too much about a couple of  'at home' days.

I sowed another bunch of seeds yesterday in the propagator, but if I'm not careful I'll have my usual problem of a greenhouse full of seedlings and no ground to plant them out into, I really am going to have to grit my teeth and get down there to try to clear up some ground, not least the polytunnel.

I finally finished my first real quilting project - a table runner - and immediately I looked at it finished, it was obvious to me I'd placed the squares really badly, with a recurring 'two dark bits joined together' problem - how on earth did I not see that when I pinned the blocks together?!



Of course now I can see exactly what I should have done, but it's a bit late!

I'm trying to get another skein of wool spun and plyed so that I can finally get on and dye it. Craft day is this Saturday at Guild and I was hoping to have it done by then, but I'm not optimistic.

I didn't get to Slimming World on Monday (see car saga) and once again, my payment has gone out for the Health Club without my darkening the doors for yet another month, so the Spinning, Slimming and Swimming situation is in a pretty poor way.
