Works 2013
We spent New Year's Eve with friends at St Leoanards in their 16th floor apartment. The view was superb. The expensive fireworks bill was a colourful $6 million. However, it was a cheap way of keeping Sydneysiders and guests, from anywhere and everywhere, entertained along the Harbour foreshore from 10am Monday to 12:15am Tuesday.
Worst Binding experience ever
'Airlie Vincent' is a quilt top which I discovered in a large plastic bag of patchwork at Vinnie's Ailrie Beach QLD in 2011..... for $8. What a treasure trove! However, in machine sewing and hand stitching the binding, I discovered I had not machine-caught all the binding. So I have had to unpick metres and metres and repin the binding. More haste less speed. I reattached the binding today....and now to hem!
My favourite Australian cricketer, Michael Hussey is about to retire from international cricket. Australia is currently playing a great match against Sri Lanka. During the 2nd innings of the 2nd day, 'Huss' was run out in a bad call (by his Captain Michael Clark) but ever the gentleman, he left the field without any negativity. We will miss 'Mr Cricket'.
I will listen to anything which the famous 'Wolf' has written. Love the music, the operas and the movies.
