Where does the time go?

Last week (Half Term) was busy!  I can't deny that.  Here it is now June and well, I'm ready for a proper holiday.  Lunch with Dad on Friday was not easy.. he is very introspective now and not very 'polite' either.  Still, lunch was an amicable affair despite him finding the filling for his baked potato rather tasteless and then we walked around the garden centre briefly.  'Which is the way out?' he said.  I took the hint and followed him out. He stayed long enough to have a cup of tea and then went on his way home.  Sadly, for me, it is hard to see him becoming so 'muddled' and unfocused.  He doesn't know what to do with himself these days and 'finds things' to do, whether it is bringing me Sainsbury's schools vouchers at some odd time, or taking MIL to the doctor.

DD has come for a visit (it involved lunch and an iced coffee at our local cafe) in the middle of her working day.  She has been obsessing over the iced coffee they serve for a couple of weeks now so, I took her as a treat. I was able to do this as I have had no work for 2 whole days... a record!  I am happy to have the time but not to lose out on the payment. I have partly used the time to visit my friends yesterday for our regular Tuesday quilt and lunch sessions (or should that just read our food and gossip session???LOL).  I did get quite a lot done so am really pleased to say that today I have put the binding on my first ever baby quilt!  I have enough fabric to make two more, although I shall be a lot more careful with how I allot the limited fabrics I have .  In some of the colours I only had a small amount of fabric and so,  still being a novice quilter (in my opinion) I did not work out the ratios very well. This quilt is a square as a result!  A very pretty one even though I say so myself.

Tomorrow, I will be back at work in a regular slot.  Hopefully, it will be a split day with Yrs 3 and 5. I have one week totally year 5 and then the next is 3 and 5.  One is an enjoyable day the other is not so much.  Never mind, it is all part of the great  experience life has to offer us.  Who knows what Friday will bring!
