progressing slowly

well I won't bore you with the details but I haven't been feeling so great, But, here are some pics anyway!

The other day while I was nannying there was movement in the garden out the back (at Waterfall gully), and eventually this echidna came right up to the back door!  I've never seen one so close up, or such a large one either.  Unfortunately the kiddies were asleep at the time, they would have loved to see it too.

and I bought myself a new sunhat.  I hate wearing sunhats because I am so short that I have to look up to speak to most people if the brim is too big or too bucket style, but I need to set a good example to the littlies, and plus, it has been hot.  Now you may say that that's a pretty boring sunhat, but I bought one like that on purpose you see, because I had a cunning plan...

I originally thought that I would work pretty embroidery all the way around the brim, but after only this much taking me two full evenings to complete, I think I will be satisfied with just a spray of flowers on one side.  But it is nice to get out the silk ribbon again, and do a little something different.  I just hope I don't run out of puff before I get it done- compared to crochet it's very slow work.

And talking about crochet I have almost finished my blue cot rug- photo coming soon!

We had a nice Mee goreng in the thermy the other day...
