I enjoyed the little bit of quilting I did, not that I am a neat sewer

Okay Linda - you know me well. I did spend some money and enjoyed every minute of it :-D

I really want to start quilting again. I did it for years and loved it but then other things took over. I find hand sewing very relaxing but my fingers don't like sewing for too long these day :-( I guess my sewing machine will have to do the work.

May have spent some money - if you went to a craft fair, there is no may about it :-D

we have had a lazy Sunday, I did some ironing this afternoon,so all the holiday stuff is now away. Apart from that I have just been reading the newspapers

I think you could be right about my neighbour....she does get lonely :-(

I went to a craft fair on Saturday....I may have spent some money :-0 That's why I never get bored. I've always got something on the go.

Take care in the storms, Sylvia.

I'm glad you are warm again, Linda xx


I don't get bored, I always have so many thing to do even if I don't leave the house!

Perhaps Linda is right about your neighbour, Sue ............. she's mistaking loneliness for boredom.


We have the second of the 3 storms going through ..... it rained hard all night. The rain has now lessened but the wind has got much stronger.

I have the heating on now, so am nice and warm again

I have so many things I want to do and never get round to, so never get bored.
Maybe your neighbour is more lonely than bored.

Oh dear - what a shock to the system, Linda. Grocery shopping is my least favourite thing to do.

My neighbour once asked me if I get bored on my own. Well it doesn't happen very often and I never get bored. Sadly my neighbour who is a widow has no hobbies or interests and gets bored easily.

Brrrrr
When we got back to Leeds last night it was only ten degrees.
The heating hadn't been on in the house since before the summer,so it was freezing. The bed was positively icy, I ended up putting some socks on to keep my feet warm before I could get to sleep

I could hardly see for my fringe, so I have been for a haircut this morning. I need to do a big supermarket shop this afternoon. Oh joy :-(

I love "me time" :-D


OH will be out for much of Saturday and Sunday, helping at the annual Apple Fest ........

me time :-D

I agree with Ms. Campbell, Sylvia. I can't think of a worse President for the U.S. He is a mysogynist of the worse kind....let's hope no woman votes for him.

I have the house to myself for much of the day.....me time :-D

Trump is very intimidating ............. he's a big man and uses his size to great effect. He's also learnt that intimidating facial expression.

We had a female Prime Minister, Kim Campbell, back in the early 1990s, she'd also been Justice Minister and brought in reformed sexual assault during her term there.

She gave an interview last night in which she said ............

Trump is a self-celebrating 'sexual predator,' and that his suggestion that the election is rigged is 'a crime against democracy'

I expect you'll be on your way, Linda. Not very nice weather to go back home to :-(

Sylvia - I would honestly find Trump rather intimidating. He is a bully and I've noticed he often uses body language to show this. Standing up when Clinton was sitting wasn't nice.

We are having our last couple of hours by the pool as we don't need to checkout until midday. Then we have a couple of hours to kill having lunch before we are collected for the airport. Then there will be a horrendous queue and wait until we finally take off.

It is 29 degrees here and only 13 back home :-(

Sue ............ we watched about 3/4 of the debate, fortunately missing the first bit!

Dreadful!! And he always took such a threatening, bullying stance when he wasn't talking.


Apparently we are going to get down to close to freezing tonight, and the 3rd storm to arrive will be the remnants of Typhoon Songda on Saturday ............ that's barrelling across the Pacific towards us right now

That has gone quickly, Linda. I hope it isn't too cold when you arrive home.

Sylvia - we watched the 2nd debate between Trump and Clinton. What a choice to have to make :-0

Getting warmer here although we have some dreadful winds over much of eastern Australia. My son in Hobart rang the other day to say there is snow on the mountains and a very cold wind.

the time has passed quickly!!


safe trip home xx


Our first storms of the season are due to arrive tomorrow night or Thursday morning


Nova Scotia (where daughter lives) and Newfoundland got the tail end of Matthew ......... lots of flooding and power outages.


Yesterday was Thanksgiving here .............. lots to give thanks for, especially not having to listen to "the Donald" :-D

I could hardly find the thread :-(

It is our last day by the pool, then we are back to the English winter, that is going to come as a shock to the system

They so t have jam, only preserves :-D

I would hope not :-0 I'm thinking that they need to look perfect when in public as their parents do. Just wouldn't do to have jam on their clothes and dirt on their faces.

The clothes George appears in are so old fashioned, surely he isn't dressed like that all of the time
