Project 366 week 28.

Sunday 

Some knitting before work and home showered, fed and bed pretty much. 

Spotted these a while ago and decided to treat myself to a piece of history. Including postage it cost me £21, and for that it is a good quality fleece. Asked for the NHS to be in blue as Scotland uses the blue rather than the white they showed on the samples. If you fancy a piece of history then you can buy one here 

Monday 

Lilly dogs third anniversary today. 

Puttered around the garden and walked the dog, did some knitting and some tv watching in the evening as well as a few hours with an audiobook during the day.  

The garden is coming on well that hubby has been working in over the last few months while I sit and craft.  

Tuesday 

Dropped off at DD1 to pick up her empty shielding boxes, hubby is replacing some of the older many times reused cardboard boxes in the loft with good quality newer ones. This time the boxes were not empty, her shelves are rather full so we benefited from a few tins and some pasta.  

She had also run out of “cheapy piriton” so I stuck my head in the chemist, picked her a box up, open her front door and tossed them on across to the table without going in and left again. Took her a while to work out where they had come from as she did not see me do it.  

We were going to walk the dog down the woods before tea but it was still too warm, so left it until after tea and went somewhere different as far too many midges down the woods in an evening. ...life works in mysterious ways.....ended up using a defib on somebody, they make CPR a lot less scary as it monitors what you are doing and tells you press harder etc., an interesting experience but not one I wish to repeat any time soon. A 19 min call to 999 with one person putting my phone onto loud speaker and holding it for me and another passer by helping with the CPR. He was alive when he got in the ambulance. Once the emergency services turned up we prepped the defib machine for the next person who might need it and informed the responsible person that we had used it and it needed another set of pads to be added. 

The first aid training I had back in Feb all kicked in and the training gave me the confidence to take control, issue orders to people and get on and do what needed doing.  Thanks to the Active Travel Hub for the free training. 

We then carried on with the dog walk.  

Wednesday 

Hubby went to cut DD1 grass for her. I did a pile of housework and some knitting.  

Flipping heck my stomach muscles don’t have ache, taking it that it was the CPR that worked them.  

DD2 messaged to ask would I go and pick up something she had seen on a local Facebook selling site. Walked the dog while we were in that area. Nipped to find condensed milk as Fifi is wanting to make things with it and Asda has had none for weeks. Picked up a few reduced items for the freezer while I was there as well as some well reduced fruit for us and DD1.  

Loved this log, almost looks like a shark so had to get the dog to pose for us. 

Thursday 

 Tuesday night now seems so surreal. 

I am doing a carbon literacy course online and had one of the tutorials today, third of four. Struggling with the google classroom side of things, as are others, a new platform for ever one involved, but the course itself is proving to be interesting.  

Took the dog for a walk round a local country estate, a lot of it is getting rather overgrown.  

Nipped round to a friend on the way back, she was clearing some of her cupboards and found a bag of knitting wool and was kind enough to rehome it with me. I swapped her it for some egg boxes.  

Made a bread and butter pudding and a fruit cake.  

Had a phone call from DD2 and we are trying to arrange a date to go visit. 

This is part of my latest creation, but not showing any more at this stage. Looking good though. 

Friday 

Now we are allowed to travel further I decided to nip to Glasgow to spend the £50 Waitrose voucher I won a while back; we don’t have any here in Ayrshire. Picked up  main meals with it, enough to do a fortnight or more, as well as a few wee treats. 

Took the dog as well and went for a walk round a nearby park. The car park was nearly full and all the walks were very busy but everyone was very conscious of social distancing.  This is a load of padlocks on the fence at the waterfall. 

Saturday 

Mileage for the year is sitting at 968.67 miles, should make the 1000 by the end of the week.
