Something of a day of disasters today. I have to go out this afternoon, and that always makes me unsettled. I feel that I cannot start anything.

Last night I made a small bid on a couple of “creative inspirations” bargain mixed boxes of fibres etc. on eBay. I accidentally won them, getting a £15 and a £20 box for about a fiver each. You know - you give it a nudge but fully expect to be outbid and will be relieved (kind of) when you are? Well, I wasn’t. It will be like Christmas when they arrive. All the same, I shouldn’t have spent that money. I could have put it towards a new wheel. That is, if I actually had the money in the first place, rather than an increasing overdraft

I have been watching a fleece on eBay. It finished this morning. I was sitting here, refreshing the page, and with 7+ minutes to go, decided to take something along to the kitchen. Of course I saw things that needed to be done and I did them, packing the car ready for this afternoon etc. …and totally forgot to bid on my fleece. It went for the starting price of £4.80. Ho hum. A nice Jacob/Icelandic cross it was.

I should be baking some cakes for teas this afternoon. But I’m not. They’d only go wrong, the way that today is going for me so far.

This afternoon I am taking my antiques along to the Sanday Sunday event. I may get a valuation but it’s really about filling the place up and making it look like an event. I shall sit by my porcelain and my copper and knit, I think. I do hope to get photographs - especially ones of vintage tractors. And cake. Even if I am not making any myself, I do hope for tea and buns.

Here’s a weed from my garden, to cheer me up

It’s called Silverweed (Potentilla anserina) and is very pretty indeed. Silverweed has edible and medicinal properties. It grows everywhere here!
