3rd September Stuffing Party

Been out and about just about all day.

First trip out was a walk round the corner to go and get my hair cut. I was definitely in need of a trim as it hadn't been cut since the end of June (other than a few self fringe cuts necessary to see out 😀).

This afternoon 4 of us were on a mission to finish stuffing the ducks (Wendy took the photo).

Penny did a quick count and we realised I was short of a pair of wings. So after a rummage to find suitable knitting needles and wool I quickly knitted the final pair.

Nearly completed. Just a few more waiting for completion in our little production line of stuffing, sewing up the hole the stuffing goes in, fixing on wings and adding eyes. I managed to make 50 in the end all ready for November's annual Sailing Club dinner.

This evening has been another get together, this time with old NCT buddies. A lovely catch up on everyone's family news, recent holidays and forthcoming events over dinner down at The Chimneys. 

I tried pulled mushroom chilli (I knew you could get pulled pork so this was new to me but definitely worth a try) and rice, followed by a mini white chocolate blondie with raspberries and coffee - yum!

Tomorrow I'm going to concentrate on a bit of sewing machine work as a few things need altering. Hopefully I've got enough time to get everything sorted while Ian is doing some work on the guttering in the morning.
