      Jean's can be comfortable with the right fit. Hubby doesn't wear anything else, apart from wearing a shirt. :heehee:

        All I've done today is some vacuuming downstairs, i always try and do it on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday to keep the fur down and bits of grit, vegetation that come through the front door. Watching YouTube and falling asleep.
        Yesterday i made 2 cards both the same, haven't got a verse inside yet.

            We've not done much either in the end. Did go into town this morning to attend an app. Back home and hubs cooked a lovely pasta meal while I made a huge salad....I could just live off of salad if it was possible!!

            Had planned to spend the afternoon in the garden but the wind picked up and added a chill factor to the mild temps. As all the laundry dried really quickly I thought I would tackle the ironing instead as it was a lot and it wasn't the smooth out and fold stuff...it all required ironing, an hour's worth.

            Then looked online to rekindle my interest in Origami. Use to enjoy making things using the technique many, many years ago. Will have to go back into town to buy some Origami paper now!!!

            Gave all my seedlings a quick check over, all are doing OK. Wiped all the leaves on our indoor air purifying plants.

            Completed a couple of Sudoku puzzles before having supper.

            Now going to settle down with my audio book and continue my knitting.

                I picked up my bread maker. It is mint! Fantastic bargain for $20. :)

                Did some shopping and because I bought pork chops, chicken legs and had frozen burgers already so I decided to uncover the barbecue and cook everything out there. All done and the gas hooked back up to the heater in the greenhouse now. :blue thumb:

                My granddaughter and I made a base for strawberry ice cream and we will churn it tomorrow morning.

                I have fabric all cut out and ready to start sewing some tops but I'm not in the mood today. Perhaps another day. I don't sew unless I want to- that is sewing for myself. Business stuff is a must not an option.

                It is sunny right now and I am really enjoying seeing the fans in the greenhouses running at top speed using power direct from the solar panels. It tells me that the batteries are also getting a good boost too.:hapydancsmil:

                          Well most of our day is spent, once again, worrying about our youngest who is now in the middle of his 7 week travels of China, Vietnam and eventually Thailand. He's stubbornly refusing to even contemplate cutting short his holiday to help ensure his safety. Haven't heard from him since Friday and am a tad worried as he has been keeping us well informed of his whereabouts and travel arrangements. Just emailed him again as it's about 10pm where we think he is and could possibly prove more likely a time to get a response.:fingers crossed:,

                          Kids!!!!....they just don't realise to worries they put their parents through!!

                            Tuesday we decided not to go to our favourite Chinese restaurant with friends as since Christmas we have seen a coachload of Chinese there on a regular basis. May be ridiculous, but I cannot take any chances with infections! :hate-shocked:

                                @Upsydaisy I hope that your son will be safe and well, I'm sure that he'll be fine. Is he travelling by himself?They say that the older males get it easier with already a medical problem.
