morning ladies 
Whoahhhh we have some decent rain this morning. It rained a bit yesterday but we have the works now.
I like the idea of a whistle too, it's easy to use and can be hung around the neck and the sound carries well. Our old lifejackets had whistles attached as blowing into a whistle takes less energy than yelling for help. We carried one when hiking too.
Mica, our pump is also set at 18. We find that's the perfect temperature for us. When Dad lived with us he was always cold so it was bumped up to 24 and we cooked. At night we turn it down to 16 otherwise we are turfing off blankets. Your retreat sounds like it was a lot of fun. Always good to get together with like minded people!
Late yesterday afternoon the 15 poplar trees three times the height of a house were dropped. It took just under three quarters of an hour! Omggg the difference it makes to our home! So much more light in the dining room. And we thought we had a light and airey home. Even though the trees were a paddock away, they cast a long shadow. The littlies across the road loved it lol. Mind you, we did too
This morning it seems so strange not to see the trees there.
I've made an executive decision about the falcon. I'm going to put it away for a while as I'm just going round in circles with it. Will finish it another time. Just not now. MrK is happy as he wants to French polish the frame he made and he couldn't do that while I was using it. He's also made me a wee pot to stand my awl, scissors and unpicker in as I work. He spotted me trying to find them buried under threads and thought I could use it. He comes up with all sorts of ideas.
Better get cracking, I might pull another bedroom apart and 'spring' clean it seeing as I can't get outside today. I also need to find some picture frames I have stashed away for some prints I found in a draw. We bought them on our honeymoon 36 years ago and they are finally being framed. Better late than never.
Happy crafting
