Day off...

Had a day off today from work.  So did my husband.  He came back from working in London last night and we had decided we would take the dogs to the beach today.

So we did. Despite the weather forecast which said it'd be windy and rainy.  We went to Holkham Beach on the North Norfolk coast.  I love it there - the beach is huge and even on a busy day it doesn't feel crowded.  So on a wet Friday morning in September it was really quiet.

The dogs had a blast - poor Smudge is knackered now and his arthritis is troubling him.  We had to bath them when we got back as the smell of wet labbies is none too pleasant !

Planning to go to Norwich tomorrow morning, and I want to look at sewing machines.  I also want to get the fabric to make a bag - I have decided which one I want to make first.  It's not too complicated (I hope). It's in a book called Bags - The Modern Classics by Sue Kim.  I really need something to do in the evenings when my husband is away.  As you know I horseride once a week at least, but on the other evenings I need to be keeping busy.  I used to go to running club, but I've stopped running now since I had an operation on my knee last year.  It is something I'd like to take up again, but I am a little nervous with all the problems I have had with my knee.  Losing a couple of stones in weight would probably help !!

It's been lovely having a Friday off - I expect Monday will be here all too soon....
