BLESSED SPEEDY

 Lockdown 5 days 8 & 9  Whoops I forgot to do a blog post yesterday! SO catching up................Yesterday I had zoom meetings and farm computer work and then went and visited Mum - yep still talking through the glass, but as Ive said before she really likes to see my face even though I talk to her at least once a day on the phone. Apparently yesterday they had their own Olympic Games in the village with bean bag tossing, quoits etc.  Mums team didnt win - they came second - but she still won a Kit Kat so she was happy. Here she is waving "HI" just like the queen LOL Today (its Saturday) I must admit I hit the wall.  Lots of stuff has been going on that Ive had to deal with, plus an injured foot so I "managed" to fit in two naps - nice! Also got some knitting done - and a catch up zoom meeting with my knitting friends around the world - from USA Argentina and the UK The first of these socks I finished ages ago so its good to get the second one done! This pair ...

 Lockdown 5 and day 6 and today has just run away! Which is one of the main reasons Ive made my list of things I want to get done and also why Ive been posting daily on this blog. If we have to be locked in I might as well have a purpose. A large chunk of today was spent getting my lovely father in laws new phone we bought him set up  - frustrating at times but its done and he's happy - just worried Im now going to get calls about "how do I do this" but thats to be expected. Another zoom meeting too. And Ive started another project that was on my "to do" list - this time diamond art - Ive never done it before so rang my lovely friend Carol who has done lots of them for some tips.  I dont think this will be finished quickly any time soon but Ive started! There was also some hat knitting - but they are being gifted so I cant show you them as yet until the lucky person(s) who are getting them get them!

 Lockdown 5 day 5 and today it was announced the lockdown will be extended for another week! So I think Ill have to add to my list of "things Ive been putting off but lockdown is a great time to get them done" It was also freezing cold today and raining most of the day - but being the good daughter that I am I went to visit mum and talked to her through the glass in the pouring rain and 8 degrees - thats dedication for you!!!! Mum does enjoy seeing my face though - much better than just talking on the phone Apart from that excitement - another teleconference and thanks to that Ive finished the peasy cardigan Ive been knitting for a while.  All that long stockinette rows were not that exciting but its finished and Ill probably gift it to me - she likes blue :) I used Bendigo Woollen Mills tweed yarn in a beautiful shade of blue - it took almost 4 balls but it will be nice and warm 

 So here we go again - Lockdown number 5 - this one (fingers crossed) is to be for 5 days So what did I do today? Firstly, I had a meeting on line that had originally been scheduled to be in Echuca.  Id been looking forward to it, to meet those involved face to face and also to do some shopping in Echuca.  Well thanks to the last minute lockdown it was rescheduled to online. Of course my internet was dodgy so I couldn't have my camera on - so I got some knitting done - Im working on the  peasy cardigan  (ravelry link) I got a bit done, had a great meeting and to be honest today is a cold and rainy day so much better at home in the warm than driving on wet slippery roads! The meeting didnt finish until after lunch, but Im keen to achieve some things Ive been putting off as I did during the last lockdown, so this afternoon I decided to clean out our pantry.   It wasn't that messy really but Ive had new tupperware containers for ages to put stuff in, and ...
