Notes for new readers - as this is a diary the first entry is the last, so you get to know 'who done it' before the crime is committed! This is a pain but can't be helped. After a week of entries the scrolling will stop and if you want to venture further click on 'OLDER POSTS' and read until you get to the first entry 'The Day Before Day 1
Frustrating day today. Started on the seams of the scrub trousers. The machine keeps puckering the fabric as I sew. Tried everything but no luck. Emailed the sewing group but no one else has the same fabric. Sent a message to supplier so hope for an answer tomorrow.
Picture showing the problem. The stitching on the white strip is perfect - no puckering unlike the seam below it.
Planted some beetroot in the veg. bed down at the allotment.
Very warm today but no rain. Nothing else to report.
Snippet from the News
The Black Lives Matter demonstrator who carried a counter-protester to safety during Saturday’s protests in London has spoken out about the moment he decided to intervene to help the man.
Describing his decision to step in, Patrick Hutchinson said: “His life was under threat, so I just went under, scooped him up, put him on my shoulders and started marching towards the police with him.”
In an interview the personal trainer and grandfather said: “You don’t think about it being scary at the time, you just do what you’ve got to do.”

Daughter-in-law Jan doing sterling work with a rope as our narrow boat eased into the lock. This was on the occasion of Jim's 80th birthday. The family had bought us a day out on the Grand Union Canal. We are old hands on the waterways having had many holidays afloat usually spending Christmas week on a narrow boat, Great fun!
