We went down the coast for a couple of days - not entirely sure why but we certainly found enough to do when we got there! The weather was cold and windy and rainy everywhere, so we figured we may as well be somewhere that was closer to 15 degrees than 5. It's only 59 kilometres as the crow flies but the weather can be wildly different. Much excitement on the local facebook page because a seal was having a nap on the beach.
Mostly very chill creatures, seals, but they have sharp teeth and are surprisingly large. Everyone was avoiding it, but that part of the beach is off-leash dog exercise, so there might have been a cavoodle or two in danger. Or a white crusty dog. No great loss.
I made a couple of dozen library bags for the local school which is a quilter's group endeavour. Nice mindless sewing - once I got into the swing of it - and a good way to use up odds and ends of fabric. If the kids don't mind random colours, which I'm sure they won't.
I also meant to do a day's errands in Bateman's Bay but got trapped at the first hurdle - changing my driver's license over to NSW - which turned out to be unnecessarily complicated. So I didn't go to the hardware, join the library or buy some thread ... just had a bacon and egg roll to soothe my shattered nerves and came back home again. And it's still not sorted, I will try again this week.
I should have a photo of a finished quilt to show you but this was the attempt today - the horizontal quilt!!!! It was so windy (a cold wind too) that I gave up. Perhaps tomorrow. I came back up for the quilter's group AGM on Saturday afternoon. I am now secretary, which doesn't seem to be too much work, but I guess I will find out ..... There were six ladies at the AGM, so most everyone got some type of position :)
