I ate out for lunch with my sister today. We also went to a craft fayre: it was wonderful. There was so much to look at and buy. Needless to say Christmas is being sorted.
I've been spending time with my favourite cat Tiddler. He fell asleep in my lap and purred continuously. He is very affectionate.
Well some know what i do and some wont, So here we go,
For this lass who was trained in different trades for men though this is not quite right many women can do the same work as men i,m one of those who can design and make in timber or metal so we are not talking about small details this is heavy weights , i have machines that 6 men would have a hard time lifting these are Metal Lathes mill,s and the like all heavy and the gear that goes with them ,
Some time ago i decided to make another lathe so all most had it done then about 4 weeks ago i decided no i,ll make it a mill so over the last few weeks i have changed it and redesigned it to a mill theres quite a lot of work involved and resetting and changing as i go along, a mill can grove shave slot or drill holes it can resurface or grind or plane off metal as needed and much more as needed ,
Then harder part is having it 100 % so is even at all side,s and square, So the setting up has to be right on, I know some time ago A new saying was put forward women and thier shed,s wellin my case is more this woman and her full on workshop, and yes i have the gear .oh dont get me going on about wood work and so on and that gear ,lol,s

I was in the kitchen all day. I prepared my sister's work salad. I helped my sister prepare dinner. I did the roast potatoes myself. I also prepared dessert and helped my sister with the laundry.
After my usual visit to the supermarket(s) and lunch I settled on the sofa and dozed off. I think I am still getting a bit stressed out so fought the temptation to have to be doing involved things. I feel better for it this morning.
Yesterday I picked all of my larger tomatoes from the greenhous. They were all green except one but will cook Ok. I picked nine small cucumbers too. That's them for this year but there are still some peppers and current tomatoes growing. I don't really have a lot of room for the peppers and have several containers full in the freezer but as long as they die off too quickly I will use most of them.
Finish preparing for the storm today, lock the doors and be ready to ride it out.
I was seeing reports from Tampa bay , they have all evacuated.. Have you not been told to evacuate or are you safer inland?
Cassie, we have no evacuation orders here although some people did leave. Most are staying and will ride it out like us. And yes, we are much safer inland even though it still is going to be bad. Thw winds won't be anywhere as high as at the coat which they are predicting it to be a Cat 4 now. Currently it is at 155 mph but will be down to about 130 when it makes landfall. Thank you for your concern.
