The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

The Good? That's easy.

Using up leftover pastry

My favourite kitchen toy

The resulting Lemon Drizzle Cake

The bad (otherwise known as the necessary) -

Replenishing stock

Where does it all come from?

And the ugly -

This would have just come under the 'bad' category if it hadn't let out nigh on a death
 rattle when I turned it on. Can't be from over use.
Must be from neglect.
Then the b*****d fell over on my foot and it hurt - a lot!
So it is ugly big time.

Now this is the ugliest of them all. 7m (yeah, that much) of blackout fabric to line our curtains.
Rental houses don't only come with weed infested gardens. They come with paper thin curtains that are about as useful as a chocolate fireguard. So instead of creating more lovely stars I am about to attack the above fabric and attach it onto said curtains in the hopes that sleep will go later than 5:30-6am.

And finally 21. That is the number of spiders I hoovered up a little while ago. And that was only downstairs. Please don't tell me I shouldn't hoover them. They are impossible to reach without that doohickey long attachment and I am not teetering on the top of stools trying to scoop them into cups so I can place outside - only to have them turnaround and march over my threshold again. And I have a daughter who borders on hysteria when she sees them. The hoover is the best weapon I have.

So not a wee bit of quilting news. Life over took my procrastinating sensibilities today and I did what needed to be done. It happens.
