A week in the country

This has been a quiet week with my days spent doing some gardening, sewing and watching movies from Margarets large library.
Monday 30/4 - I put binding onto a second quilt and watched the movie 'Nell' in the afternoon.

Tuesday 1/5 -  The binding went onto a third quilt and I spent the afternoon on the computer, working out how to use the Hot Spot from my Smart Phone.  It took a while but I was determined to make it work.

Wednesday 2/5 - a neighbour gave me a lift into town to collect my Van from the mechanic in Heathcote, I had planned to get a Tune Up here after the problem in Sale.  Margaret had offered me the use of her little car while she was away so I was glad of that but happy to have my own wheels back.

Thursday 3/5 - I drove to Bendigo to see the Grace Kelly Style Icon Exhibition, this was fabulous and so popular it was necessary to purchase tickets to attend at a specific time of day. After checking out a few shops I had afternoon tea with one of Margaret's friends before driving home.

Pink Cliffs - Heathcote

Friday 4/5 - Went into town this morning, drove just a few klm out of town to see the Pink Clifs, a colourful reminder of the Gold Rush era in the early 1900's, on the way home I saw an Auction at a Farmhouse so decided to stop for a look, a real country experience but I wasn't tempted to make any bids!!!  The movie after dinner tonight was 'The Kiss'.

Saturday 5/5 - I started sewing my 4th quilt then finished the Christmas wallhanging I began at Tannum Sands last July.  I stripped the vinyl floor of the Van and put 2 coats of sealer on it.  A friend from Kilmore phoned to invite me to dinner, so I drove with the intention of staying overnight.  I hadn't seen Fay for over 20 years when she lived in Rockhamnpton, so lots of catching up on what we and our families were doing now.

Sunday 6/5 -  When I went to leave there was oil on the road where I had been parked.  Another call to RACV and I was missing a bolt from the Distributor!!!  No damage done so it was replaced and filled with oil before I drove home, the dogs were very happy to see me.  I put 2 more coats of sealer on the van floor then watched the movie 'Beyond Borders'.  Now have less than a week before it is time for me to move a little further north.
