Yesterday was my girls’ school’s athletics carnival. I had been planning on going from about lunchtime onwards, but then I realised their races were in the morning, so that I really had to go then. I had wanted to get some work done at home in the morning, and the fact that it was going to be overcast with a chance of showers did not thrill me.<\/p>\n
So off I went, with folding chair in hand and whitework embroidery in bag. I set myself up and got stitching, with periodic breaks to get up and cheer loudly. When the sun came out it was quite pleasant; when it rained it wasn’t.<\/p>\n
The ground was quite soggy and therefore with the rain, quite muddy. One or two people commented that I was very game bringing my white embroidery to the carnival with me, but when that’s the work you have to do, that’s what has to happen!<\/p>\n
At one stage my ziplock bag of supplies did fall into a puddle, but thankfully it was a new ziplock bag and didn’t have any holes yet so everything was safe inside. Phew! So my whitework made it through the day intact, and happily I got quite a lot done.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
