morning ladies 
Looks like rain today (yayy lol) and I was hoping our bin man would have been by now (he usually has) so I can mow the lawn and bin the clippings. If he isn't here shortly, I will go back to plan B and carry on with the garden.
Yesterday I trimmed back (hacked) plants that had finished flowering and were being just plain bossy along one fence line. There should be room for the dahlias now.
Speaking of binned, I have thrown the tui embroidery into the naughty corner until I can think of a better way to stitch it. I just can't get my mojo going with it. I have a quilt partially cut out so might work on that for a while. My hand stitched hexagon quilt is still on the go so I could do a bit to that too.
I also have one of those lights, Jan. It sounds the same as yours as I bought it 50% off from Spotlight years ago too. The light is harsh but brilliant for a dull day like today. And I have used the magnifying glass a few times too before I bought new glasses. MrK has also borrowed it to use in his workshop.
The swelling in my eye seems to be slowly going down but I look like I have a black eye so I probably bruised it too. Still, the pain has gone and I don't seem to need the eye drops as often.
Better make the most of the morning and do a bit more in the garden. I can always make piles of garden waste and bin them when the bins are emptied. Blimmen convolvulus, can't compost it as it loves the heat and grows.
Happy crafting
