A day to Remember.

Yesterday started like any other. I went for a beautiful walk along the beach with my friends. Came home got my brekkie and sat down at the computer. After reading a few e-mails and blogs this pop up appeared. I pressed delete and it returned. I did this several times and it would not go. GRRRRR!! Turned off the computer and went back later. Turned it on and guess what!!!  It was back and now I also had a shortcut icon that said "Smart Engine". It seems this is a virus and now my computer has to go to the doctor to be fixed.
DH has given me a Laptop for my B/Day so it is a good time to learn how to use it.

I went into my cave to sew and then I did this. Stitched the blocks together the wrong way.
After some reverse sewing I stitched the blocks together . I could not believe I had made the some mistake AGAIN. I was hoping to get this done and post for OPAM.

I was pleased that I had to go out. Sue and I were to meet for lunch and then a show in our local hall with The Autumn Centre Group. Had a good laugh and an enjoyable afternoon. 
As we were leaving the hall I could see smoke in the distance. Driving closer to home I realised it was 
in our street and close to our house.


Our gate on the right.

This morning it is still smoldering . DH has just returned to take the firefighting tanker out again as it has flared up. As I look out the door there is a lot of black smoke.

  5. oh my goodness Maria, what a day. I'm so sorry & I hope all is well with the fire. ENjoy your new laptop, I love mine! (it is old). I had a similar week to yours & now I am sick in bed because a chef does not know how to cook gluten free. Sigh

  6. Geez, what a day. The kind that makes you want to go back to bed and hide under the covers. Stay well.

  9. My sister, who lives near Armidale, sent me photos of extreme flooding near her house. Australia is a big land of diverse climates it seems!
