A very productive day

Yesterday I decided to wash the conservatory windows.  It hardly took me more than ten minutes so I really must do them a bit more often.  I usually struggle up and down on my little kitchen steps but yesterday I had a 'eureka moment'.  I asked Tony to cut a piece from a spare broom handle and added about 18 inches to the squeegee. I don't know why I never thought of it earlier.  It made the job so much easier and a lot safer for me as I didn't need the steps.
We had our usual walk out and it's amazing me to see how many people are out and about enjoying a gentle stroll.  My friend Marian and I never used to see a soul and even if I walked later with another friend we hardly saw anyone. It's really bizarre though as everyone immediately crosses the road with a smile and a wave when someone approaches.
The sun went in for a while so I headed up into the craft room to make a card and pretty envelope for a friend. It took ages making all the little components and I thoroughly enjoyed playing with my die cutting machine... I've said it before and I will say it again.  My Bigshot is the most useful piece of kit I have ever owned.
