Sunday Sunday Week Ending 25 July

After a week off my week at work was business as usual after wading through almost 200 emails I could then get back into my work.

We are currently going through an organisational review and while no one will lose their jobs some jobs functions will change...me included but I am looking forward to it, we have had so many changes in our workplace over the last 4 or so years that I just roll with it.

Last weekend Netflix dropped the Harry Potter movies so I have been working my way through them for the umpteenth time LOL.

My July subscription box still hasn't arrived and I have contacted the business owners and they are working on sending me out a new one....fingers crossed that gets here, it will put me behind as the August one will get mailed out in a couple of weeks but hey I probably need the motivation anyway LOL.

I have been stitching on my Raise the Roof Design and have managed to get a far bit done. It is using overdyed threads but they don't show up to well in my photos.



I am reading Once Upon A Time In Hollywood by Quentin Tarantino, it is a bit different to the movie but a good read.



So really life is continuing on even though we have closed our borders to most other Australian states due to Delta running rampant especially in New South Wales....but dont' get me started on that!😡

And as today is Sunday and we don't have to go anywhere I am having a pyjama day 😅 

Enjoy your upcoming week everyone and hope to update you all again next Sunday.

Already Mid July aka Half Way Through Winter

Last Sunday we had cold fronts come through and it was very wet and windy and our bedroom ceiling decided to spring a leak, water was coming down the wall and entering the light switch so of course when that happened it turned off all the other lights in the house, so we spent the day flicking the main switch back on when things had dried out. (luckily we have a friend that is a retired plumber and he fixed the problem, but we did have to chop down some trees which we now need to get rid off.


  

I woke up the following morning feeling a bit off so took the day off work sick. 
After a short sharp 4 day lockdown we were able to return to the office during the week but had to wear masks, even inside while uncomfortable it is better to be safe than sorry. I don’t do well working from home so it will be great to head back into the office and chat to everyone. 

I finished my latest cross stich 



and my July subscription box should be arriving any day. 

Well my holiday week has been windy and rainy so I haven’t really done much, but up to date on my laundry and other housework. I have been bingeing BlackList as I didn’t watch it past season one when it was on free to air, I love Netflix LOL 

I have also been doing some cross stitch. Someone gifted me this along with the overdyed threads years ago and I have finally started it, I didn’t have any white fabric so used some of my stash so it will be interesting to see how it all pans out. 😊 It is a Raise the Roof Design.


Well I have Saturday afternoon and Sunday left before I have to head back to work so I am going to sit back continue watching Blacklist and make some more progress on Scooba Dooba 😃

Just Popping In

OMG 2020 just got away from me what with one thing and other. (You know what I mean)And we are now half way through 2021! We had been doing great with COVID but we are currently on our second circut breaker lock down of the year, fingers crossed this one finishes midnight Friday. For those of you who don't know a circut breaker lock down is a swift, short lockdown basically you get about 6 hours notice and they last for 3-4 days. You can only leave your house for essential business eg medical appointments, grocery shopping, if you are caring for someone etc. So this means I am working from home at the moment and while I don't get as many distractions from work colleagues I manage to find distractions around the house LOL. On the stitching front I have joined a stitch of the month club and I am just waiting for my third box to arrive. It is from Spruce and Co which is an Australian company and they are small and easy to do. You get fabric, 8 in hoop, 6 in hoop, DMC threads, needle and patterns, I find that they are just what I need at the moment as concentration is not great at the moment. This is what I have done so far.
Other things that have been happening in my small part of the world is it is winter here in Perth and by jeez it is cold, we didn’t ease into winter like other years it was just BANG! WINTER IS HERE! Luckily we are in credit with the electric company as the heater is getting a work out, especially working from home. I finally signed up to Netflix and am enjoying some of the shows that are on, the latest one I am watching is Stranger Things. I don’t mind a bit of horror every now and then and Wynona Ryder is fabulous. Well that was my lunch break so hope to pop in again soon and post again. Blessed Be xx
