Good morning from Bristol, for Mick, in abstentia, who, I hope, is improving daily.
It is grey and we are promised a shower very soon, already 17C. Not holding my breath for rain. The lawns are brown and some plants are already starting to die of thirst…
Very busy yesterday and today with a church “clothes exchange”. I helped put the mostly women’s clothes on rails and order them in size and type. I’ve never been to anything like that, so have no idea how it’ll go. DS and DGDs are selling raffle tickets for us. I’m going to be sewing (on DD’s borrowed machine) mostly totes from old pillowcases, tablecloths, shirts, etc., to show reuse of fabrics. Because the hall is very popular, we have very little time to set anything up. Or down too.
Not really time for anything else.
Thank you everyone who gave me links to machine parts. I have ordered a pedal and cable from the Scottish company to be delivered today or Monday. Excellent service and extremely friendly an£ helpful person at the telephone.
Have a contented weekend one and all. 🪷🌹🌺 to the poorlies. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩

As this thread gets earlier, I'm getting later!

I felt I needed to respond to Urmstongran's post. I, among many, have been thinking about Mr&MrsUrms, I hope you know how much we feel for you during these tough times for you both. Take care, dear friend. x
My warm wishes to all.

I’m another infrequent poster on this lovely thread. It’s good to see some cyber friends here.
Urmston - I’ve missed you on politics 🌞. Sending positive thoughts to you and your husband. I lived similar challenging times and will never forget them, or how much the kindness of others helps x
