It is wonderfully cool today. I got up early, exercised, had breakfast, watched the news and am now making bread. I did bake when it was hot but it wasn't fun. Today, it will be nice to put on the oven and enjoy the smells rather than just enduring.
I really need to get outside and do some gardening as well but I have got all enthused about this charm square pattern I started yesterday. I have already thought of a couple of alternatives.
But, I must discipline myself. Gardening now and fun later. I have a rose that needs transplanting and if I don't do it, it will die. I must also pull a few weeds. I will just have to tell myself it is exercise.
Yesterday, I finished the top I have been working on. Not sure I really like it as there isn't a lot of contrast but it is done and now I will get it loaded onto the frame and quilted. I have it laying over the frame at the moment and I keep checking it because I know that as soon as it is all quilted, I will find a mistake. I sometimes hang a top upside down to help me get a better look. The mind is an odd thing. It knows what it is supposed to see and that is what it tells you it sees.
As a writer, I often read sentences in reverse to try and pick up errors. I still don't catch them all but I do find some that way. The biggest errors are often wording which gives the wrong impression. For example, if I had said ' read what I have written in reverse' you might have though I was writing backwards. That was my original statement. A couple of rewrites makes my thoughts a bit clearer. I hope.
All this makes you realize why the police take eye witness accounts with a grain of salt.
(And now I must proof this before posting)
Blessings,
