It is an all-star cast but I didn’t really enjoy it much.
Shakespeare has retired and, after many years away, he is back living with his family. After so long an absence his presence in the home is less appreciated than he would like.

It seems a waste of time

I’m busy cleaning up my studio this afternoon. After two weeks of pulling fabrics and patterns to send off for my sewing week in Saskatoon I decided I should clean up a bit today.
But yesterday we bought a beautiful glass-fronted display cabinet. It is the perfect size to fit under my sloping roof and I’ll use it to store fabric in. It should free up some bins or some of the other containers I am currently using (boxes, baskets, bags, etc.). The cabinet is on Texada and I want it in Powell River so it may be a week or so before I get it and can start filling it.
I thought maybe I should leave everything in its usual mess until I can “really” clean up but I decided it would be better to have the space clean so when it does arrive I have room to sort through the bins of fabric.
I would love to show you a photo but I guess the seller has taken if off the Swap ‘n Shop page since she knows we’ll pick it up the next time we are over.
Finishing Up
Tuesday, October 8, 2019
Pat and I were up late last night and I slept in a bit this morning. My internal alarm clock usually has me up around seven but this morning it was about 6:30 when I woke up and I thought I’d just snuggle in for a few more minutes. I woke up at 8:15. Most days it wouldn’t matter but today was a big day.
I quickly signed in to the Canada Post website and got my label printed for my free shipping. I cut fabric all day yesterday so I’d have something to fill the box. Although it wasn’t quite as heavy as the first parcel, it was seven pounds.
I quickly made a lunch, had breakfast, got dressed, gathered my sewing supplies and I was out the door just shortly past 8:30. First stop was the Post Office to drop off my parcel, then on to the lawyer’s office to pick up a Hall payment. All that and I still made it to sewing on time! When I’m motivated I really can move.
I had a good day at sewing. Deloise’s Farmer’s Daughter block is finished – I think it is a good thing it will be going on the back of her quilt!
I finished the block of the month for November so I won’t have to rush to get it done in the few days I have after my Saskatoon sewing trip. I also finished the last two blocks of my Thursday project.
There are just a few more things to do this afternoon and then I hope to finish my knitting project this evening.
Downton Abbey
I walked into the darkened theatre just a few minutes before the movie started. As I scanned the crowd looking for a seat it was a sea of white hair, and mostly women. My hair may have been darker than some but I was quite looking forward to the movie.
The entire crew is back – upstairs and downstairs. It took a little time to remember who was married to whom and the back story behind each character. Neither Violet Crawley (Maggie Smith) or Isobel Merton (Penelope Wilton) have lost their sharp tongues and wit. Queen Mary is played by Geraldine James; she plays Marilla in Anne with an “E” on television. Although I was doubtful whether or not I’d like someone other than Colleen Dewhurst as Marilla, she didn’t disappoint in that role either.
I wasn’t one bit disappointed in the movie – I wish it could go on forever.
