April and March blocks are finished for the Guild challenge
Sorry they are upside down 😔 Jan and Feb blocks (fixed now)
We have been to a 90th birthday party for our neighbour from Eltham, she was a surrogate Mum for me when the boys were little and we were extra family and she is from East Berlin and had no extended family here at that stage.
We had a great catch up and lunch at a winery out at Kangaroo Ground. We saw a sign going in telling us a snake had been seen in the garden that morning 🤯 but thank goodness we didn't see it!!
Sunday we went to watch Shane play footie, 28 deg C day, it was hot for then running around
Shane is #49
Just down the road from the footie oval was a Vietnamese Buddhist centre and some thing was happening as it was very busy.
Very interesting to wander around outside, I had to wait now and then as people were placing incense and praying near the statues.
Monday my car was due its first service so off I went to West Geelong, I had a walk while I waited down to the Barwon River
Past the old woolen Mills
You wouldn't guess you were in the Geelong suburbs here
Someone was living down here in a tent
I found a geocache not far from here, always good motivation for a walk!
While we were away for the weekend the rainbow lorrikeets got into the peach tree...I have hung Christmas tinsel in it now in the hope they will stay away and we will get a few peaches!
I had better away and pick up David from chess club
Happy stitching.
Lots to look at in this post Sue. Love the new blocks you've made. That lady in your photo - she sure does NOT look 90!! Amazing! I love buddha's, they always make you feel so serene I think. I would've enjoyed a wander around there too. A shame about those peaches - sometimes old CD's work well too .. or even strips of tinfoil but this often blows away. xx
ReplyDeleteNice things happening down your way and I like your challenge blocks. xx
ReplyDeleteThe hankie quilt is such a good idea! The birthday party was a sweet thing to do.
ReplyDelete-you have squeezed a lot this week. See you soon
ReplyDeleteSounds like you have had a great time Sue, visiting and partying and walking out and about. The hankie quilt is lovely isn't it? Hopefully you can save the rest of the peaches.
