Hedge needs a cut but I don't think I want to tackle that. Petes been on about replacing some of it with a wooden fence. But that means digging up the hedge, which is a big big job.Pat S Witneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01805104841993312589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-60103320946254308162017-04-17T16:24:09.292+01:002017-04-17T16:24:09.292+01:00Hi Sue

I also have a funny prescription so usually have to wait roundabout 2 weeks. It's a struggle when your home all day to remember which day it is. I hope Harvey is looking after the baby lambs.

The spice rack was my dads and I took it when he passed away as I liked the idea of spices but never really use them.

Great sketch today Sandra. ...Hi Sandra and ladies.<br /><br />Great sketch today Sandra. I feel some crafting coming on which I'm relieved about having lost my mojo or left it in UK when I was there.<br />I've just ordered a Gemini. I've been humming and arring for a while but finally did it. Now in my craft room I have a Cuttlebug a Grand Calibre An Ebosser and a tiny 6 inch cutting machine so buying yet another machine is a bit OTT but not one of them cuts the intricate dies properly and after about 6 passes through the machine I still have to use a knife to cut out some tiny details. So after reading and listening to other people hopefully the Gemini will be the answer. I know a few of you ladies have them and sound happy you bought it.<br /><br />Sandra. Hope your glasses are ready soon. Please post a photo of Matt lamb.<br /><br />Sue. Thinking of you and your family. So hope you have good news today.<br /><br />Lynda. Hope the dentist goes ok tomorrow and there's no drilling involved.<br /><br />Pat another week of appointment for you and Pete. Hope all goes well. Thinking of you.<br /><br />Lilian. So sorry your hip is painful. Hope it improves soon.<br /><br />Have a good day everyone whatever you've planned today.<br />Love Valxxx<br /><br />Val Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14766670798729908920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-13119638442042144512017-04-17T10:57:02.925+01:002017-04-17T10:57:02.925+01:00Hi Sandra & all in cafe,
