Well not much to show ...

well nothing really.  Worked really hard to get everything done by Wednesday to have 4 full days home sewing on a quilt that my mum passed on to me and also some FW blocks but it just didn't happen that way. Thursday I did a bit of a shop and went to parents house to find a near flat tyre when leaving.  Ok fixed that by putting air in it and taking it straight over to the tyre place to be fixed.  Stupid car kept sending an alarm message every 5 mins all the way over and just put this down to the tire being low on pressure.  Nope the best part of the afternoon was spent at the mechanics after they said it was the electrical/computer system.  Lucky for us  it is under warranty.   Put me right off sewing I must say.  Did get the car back late in the afternoon as it was apparently a loose wire!  Thought it had better not come loose ever again.  Just too frustrated to sew after that.

Friday was a much better day and enjoyable but I still didn't get any sewing done.  I thought a good run in the car would be an idea to make sure everything is ok with it so picked up Mum and took her to Kyabram to that patchwork shop.  I found a few cheap fat quarters, as usual, and Mum had quite a few bargains and some Cottage Garden threads too.  I also had a call from the repair people that had our 6 mth old Kelvinator fridge and they were ready to bring back our fridge so teed that up for 1pm.  Thankfully they had loaned us one while they fixed it under warranty.  By the time we got back home and I got their fridge emptied and shifted the table etc the afternoon was gone.  Must say though I would use these guys from, guess where,  Kyabram again because they turn up exactly on time!  Never had that happen before with tradies.  Shame that Echuca had no one reliable for the warranty on the fridge.  Well they do but they don't stock loan fridges and would have taken 7 days to even come and look at the fridge in the first place.  Not good really considering we would have been without refrigeration for about 4 weeks all up.

So since the fridge came back I picked up 25kg of sauce tomatoes and set to work.  Saturday saw 15 meal lots of gnocchi/pasta sauce, 10 of spag bol, 4 pasta bake, and 6 lasagne.  Sunday saw about 15 bottles of tomato sauce and 4 more lots of a different lasagne.  I have enough tomatoes left to make up some tomato soup today also for the freezer.  Plus while stirring sauce for 4 hours I have a very clean pantry lol.

So after all this I do have a full freezer again and hopefully that is our 3 things gone bad out of the way for the year.   Lance will be having a procedure done in Melbourne this Wednesday and he will be away for 3 days.  Its a trial at St V's that is meant to lower blood pressure by ablation of the renal arteries to the kidney's.  Lance takes a lot of medication since his stroke so hopefully we will be able to stop 4 tablets by the end of the week.  That means I can save nearly $120 a month from the chemist.  Shame about the other 4 tablets that he will have to stay on.  Might actually get some flimsies quilted it that is the case lol.  Anyway I do think that work and sewing will help keep me occupied while he is away so you can expect some pics nearly every day for the next week lol.
