I haven't been wasting my time while I've been away

We’ve spent two days taking photos at a horse endurance ride. I’ll have photos of some of the horses and riders to share with you later. We parked the car in the bush close to one of the dirt tracks that the riders travelled on. There were six different divisions, each with its own circuit to follow. There was no way of knowing quite when the horses would appear on the track or from which direction they would come. So we took our chairs, a few snacks and our books to read while we waited for some action. I also took a big bundle of binder twine/baling strings and a half-finished mat that I’m making. I’ve now finished the mat so although I wasn’t taking photos I didn’t waste my time. In the top half of the photo you can see the mat. It’s a great way to recycle these strings which would otherwise be wasted. The bottom half shows the bush area where we were waiting. In the background you might be able to see Vince in his chair and in the left foreground is a grass-tree which I wrote about recently although this is a different species and won’t grow to great heights.
