I had a FAB holiday – surrounded by all my family either during the week or at the weekend. And also managed to catch up with some “old” friends, old as in longstanding NOT as in advancing years they’ll be no doubt pleased to hear.

Spent much of it in or by the swimmingpool and/or looking after my little granddaughter. A real pleasure which also allowed Mum, hubby and the elder girls to spend some quality time together.

So. I’m now back in the shop and there’s so much to do. Some work has been done in the past week – not to the standard or thoroughness I’d have liked to have seen – but beggars can’t be choosers and I am very much more experienced. So a sort of thanks to my nobbly assistant :)

I’ve now managed to complete my second working day in the shop. Yesterday was a gradual re acclimatisation day, with many interesting and very welcome visitors to the shop. Just can’t help but be inspired by other people’s knowledge and enthusiasm.

Today, I’ve spent mainly looking at circular design and stitching techniques with a small class (of one other) – great fun.

I’ve still to complete the count of all the fat quarters returned from Carno – so glad to hear that they had a successful weekend, such a shame I had to miss it and the ladies this year.
So, the stock control is all over the place at the moment, I might get round to it tomorrow, but for now the Athletics bekons me towards the TV and an evening of sporting excellence (I hope)

Till, tomorrow then ….
