Yup, it's summer alright, 38 celcius and humid. Unfortunately we are having minor power outages and although I try to keep aircon use to a minimum, these last few days it has been just awful when the electrickery goes out and you sit here in a ball of sweat wondering how you managed in the 'good old days' without it.
I wanted to post some pics of the earrings and brooches I made from origami cranes for the nurses and physios who were so nice to me in hospital. I usually just leave a thank you card but this time I wanted to do a little more and make it a fun thing.
Unfortunately the pictures are a mite fuzzy but I am posting them anyway, my hands are a bit shaky and I was too hot to get out the tripod!
I made twenty pairs of the earrings and now friends of friends etc are wanting to actually buy some so I have a little project to keep me busy while I am stuck inside with cabin fever.
Further to my posts on good neighbours, my friend Jan ( you remember Jan, she bakes) invited me to dinner last night (the Prof is out of town) and we had a lovely cool salad after which we were both soundly beaten at cards (Skip-bo) by her 94 year old mother who is as sharp as a tack and more than a little competitive!
Came home, bunked down in the living room with the aircon on and finally got to sleep at 2am.
Told you my life was exciting!
