This and that

The manse was still fairly clean, so instead of mopping floors, I found/created spots to store some of Graeme’s tools. I now have an almost clear passage to walk down.
We had a good Monday visit with the dogs. Went straight from the dogs to Sandy Bay for a deacons’ meeting. While Graeme attended the meeting in the chapel, I visited Beatrice – a widow who lives opposite the church.
Home for a supper at about 8.30 pm out of tins and packets. I then spent the next 3 hours winding lace bobbins in preparation for a special lesson that Wanda offered to give me. I needed 14 pairs of bobbins i.e. 28 sets of winding. One has to wind the thread by hand, making sure that it always runs clockwise. I need to concentrate for this simple (yet wrist tiring) task, because I tend to sew etc towards the left (anti-clockwise), and have had to rewind a bobbin or 2 in the past…
