    Michele, I ordered a kit thru Amazon, there is a coded pattern to follow and there are spaces to do the personalization as well as a chart to show what the letters and numbers should look like. I'll have to write the letters and numbers on to the pattern and use that as a guide when I do the embridery. Several of my friends have Dona a lot of cross stitch, I have not been a embroidered but have done these projects. Did one for my grandson so only fair that my granddaughter gets one too. I also got a small one for my son and daughter in law for their wedding. That will be the last embroidery project for me! Getting too hard to see.

    I taught Daughter calligraphy after I found out the schools do not.I also taught her cursive they did not. Trying to figure out what age this is good to tackle with a boy since the schools no longer teach penman ship here. They taught Daughter how to make a formal email not regular letter.Such a different era but guess it’s the same thing just computerized versions. I still like to write some stuff old fashion have used the skills many times to draw up birthday invitations to write a boss a formal letter for a pay raise to time off. Can’t picture not knowing these things yet so many don’t anymore yet their bosses are usually the older generations. Daughter drawing ✍️ y using her calligraphy skills on paper then turns it into computer art for her friends now.

    Yeah! I've just made my first butcher's order by phone. :D They will deliver probably today, or maybe tomorrow. They are only just around the corner, but have shut the doors.
    One of the things I ordered was a shoulder of lamb, which we were going to have this weekend as a treat for my son. Originally he and the kids were coming for a sleepover while DDIL was having her girlfriends over for a party. My choice was lamb because she doesn't like it. ;) I cook it very slowly roasted in beer with lots of herbs and garlic. So I decided to have it anyway. I will torment him with it. >:) I still have roast potatoes and parsnips prepped and blanched in the freezer left over from Christmas, so we are ready to go! They will go in the small oven on hot.
    The very nice butcher said that it was all going well so far. "A bit frantic". Which is good news for us as one of the main reasons we moved into this road was the brilliant local shops. I would hate to lose them. The cafes are shut up, the hairdressers, the beauty shop, the flower shop. Just the newsagent and the deli open. Plus the off licence.

    Tonight is veal escalopes with zucchini and a few oven fries.

    Probably run today before the weekend. It's going to be hot on Sunday. Hope it doesn't attract the crowds down here. I think the police may go out on patrol.

    I had good luck shopping today and was able to buy a package of TP. YAY! Buying food items has not been a problem so far.

    Talked to our daughter today & she is home sick. She sounded like she has a cold/ flu. She was upbeat & happy during our call. I’m trying not to worry. She sounded good. Her boss is pressuring her to come in, but she is staying at home until she’s better. ❤️

    Katla Your daughter must either be essential or live in a state where there is no stay-at-home mandate?

    Hi, I set my profile up 51yo female, 96 kilos and 159cm. I specified that I walk 90 minutes a day which is around 11,000 steps. Myfitnesspal calculated my daily calories at 1675 calories. Question - am I supposed to eat this much (I am having around 1300) has the figure taken into account the walking I told it I would do? Also is there a weight loss projection graph. I would like to lose a kilo a week for the next 26 weeks. I know as I reduce it will slow done. Thanks

    Penny - Oh wow those flatbreads :o:D<3 !!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Lunch is left over Spinach and Feta Pie, walnut bread, and I've made coleslaw with left over bits from the bottom of the fridge.

    Yeah, problem is they're de-lish! My husband needs a bit more food than I do so it's okay for him. But for me, it's a struggle to avoid eating them, especially because their aroma soaks into my skin and whispers to me constantly. >:) You know you want one. o:) No, I mustn't. >:) Just one. They're small...

    Machka - I feel for you. If I could, I'd send you some of our excess daylight. :sunglasses:

    Rang my DB earlier, they seem to be coping well, able to get out for walk everyday. They live near Llandudno in Wales where the goats are running around LOL Kate UK <3

    Kate - I totally missed this the first time around, but when Barbara mentioned it, I went back and looked at your post again. I actually dated a man from Llandudno back in 1979, when I was stationed in Colorado. He was in a military school there, as well. His name was unforgettable -- Paul Moose. I felt like I could just listen to him talk forever. At the time, my sister was dating a man named Looney, to which my mother responded, "A Moose and a Looney? Why are you doing this to me?" Always wondered what happened to Paul. Really is a small world.

    Lisa: Our director talked about getting us all web cams for meetings. :( I don’t think it’s a good idea because right now I am looking more than a little rough. I’m trying to figure out if I have a hat to wear to pick up groceries tomorrow.

    Tere - You can tell your director he or she is late out of the starting gate - went looking for a camera online for a friend of mine yesterday. The same webcam that cost me about $30 three years ago (and works quite well) is now $130 and up where it's in stock. Most webcams are simply out of stock everywhere up until well over the $100 mark. Talk about price gouging... And yes, I keep a baseball hat handy at all times these days. :)

    Barbara, and all who mentioned it, thank you for the birthday wishes. I took a day off from work today, but now I'm not even sure why. However, my husband is grilling shrimp for me for dinner tonight, so it will be a good ending to the day anyway.

    Tore my office apart and put it back together again yesterday. Have bags of shredded paper waiting to go out in the shed when it quits raining. Every year at tax time I try to make sure to clean out all the files I don't need anymore, as well as the tax return that's more than seven years old. But in all the moves the last few years, I wasn't able to get to it. However, I looked at the IRS website and it's now three years, so I'll shred a few more files today. Yay!

    Also built a "House Book" for this house with all the bits and bobs houses collect, receipts for work done, manuals and part lists for the water heater, washer, dryer, etc. Has all the deeds, surveys, etc., as well.

    Organizing at this level usually means I'm bored off my nut. :) That's OK, there are worse things than getting things organized, and still much, much more to do for this house.

    Today, however, I promised myself I'd do some painting. While I probably won't be able to do the entire #AcrylicApril challenge (30 paintings in 30 days), I can certainly do a few. If you've ever wanted to paint but thought you couldn't, I've been totally impressed by this lady's teaching ability on how to paint with acrylics: https://theartsherpa.com/videos/p=2. She's got more than 600 step-by-step videos on how to paint.

    Later, y'all,
