Storms last night into the morning have THIS rcty-er groggy this AM, so
coffee is flowing
into my veins as I type.
It is 'supposed' to turn into a nice day.... we shall see. Hope everyone
is doing all right.
Going blog-surfing and uploading podcasts a little later... in the
meantime I'm trying to
convnce Don that jewlery and lingerie shopping is in top order for the
day, grin!

Not up early here. I helped a friend move yesterday (along with a few
other people) and I
must admit I'm just getting too old to do that anymore. I'm SO exhausted,
and I
wanted to get so much done out in the garden today. I'm running out of
time to plant seeds,
so must finish up this week.

I'm still working on a Clapotis scarf from Fleece Artist Blue Face
Leicester, and I love it.
I think it's going to be fabulous when it's all blocked and ready to wear
(not that I'm rushing
into winter - not at all).

Other project is still the felted Stained Glass Bag. I'm on the home
stretch with it and will
be doing another one in brighter colours when I'm finished this one.

Ken & I will be off to British Columbia for a short fishing vacation next
week and we're
very much looking forward to that. With gasoline prices the way they are,
this may be our
last driving vacation. We're paying the equivalent of $4.91/U.S. gallon
right now. Gasp!

I hope everyone's having a good weekend. Shelagh

That's cheap Shelagh! See article at: http://tinyurl.com/4qonpz
<quote> As oil prices reached an all-time high, experts forecast the cost
of petrol could hit an average of £1.21 per litre within months. <end

There are approx 2 Canadian or American Dollars to each British Pound at
the moment and 1 gallon is equivalent to 4.54 litres. The cost per litre
was is £1.19.

So, £1.21 (cost per litre) x 4.54 (number of litres in a gallon) =
£5.49 (cost per gallon in the UK) x 2 (as £1 sterling exchanges to $2 at
present) = $10.98 per gallon over here. :-(

Apart from all that, have a lovely holiday. :-)
