What to do on a rainy day

It is really raining in brisbane - in fact it's a bit biblical.  Not as bad as two years ago when it all flooded, but they are letting water out of the dam and are expecting 200 mils a day for the next few days.  Thank goodness I said no to going to Noosa.......

After picking up P from the airport this morning, I made a decision NOT to go to work but to do some things for me.....

First I went to Paddington and called into Chercher La Femme.  Colleen was there and I asked about a dressing gown to replace the one that I left in a hotel in Jordan.  She had a lovely one but it didn't have buttons ... however, she has agreed to add some buttons and loops and I can have it next weekend.

Of course, I wasn't going to leave there empty handed..... so I bought this....which is a steely grey jacket with a lovely shape.....

and this - which is a lovely purplish dress - the photo does it no justice at all.....

Both the purchases were on sale, so not too bad - and the dressing gown is surprisingly cheap when you take into account the $200 voucher my children gave me for christmas  xxxxxxxxxxx

Because I've been having trouble getting in and out of low chairs - hopefully this will no longer be the case when I have a replacement inserted - I decided to get some legs for my chair.  Bunnings provided me with these and I am proud to say that I installed them myself and have sat in the chair and nothing nasty (such as a collapse) has occurred.

so this afternoon, while the rain is pouring and the humidity is 90% I have the aircon on and am quilting a vintage quilt to go with tosca's vintage pram!
