So, I haven't been on for a while because the Wi-Fi wasn't working due to an 'event' in our area. It's fixed now, but if I've missed any of your comments,I apologise.
My Mum went shopping on Tuesday because I didn't go in the morning because it was raining.
We went shopping as usual on Wednesday afternoon, and I got a card making box magazine with some Christmas toppers and papers in which I'm using now to make Christmas cards.
On Thursday I went over the road to see the lady at No.2 and show her my drawings and paintings. We had a great time, and a good laugh.
I went shopping down town on Friday again, and I went to the down town Tesco and Holland and Barrett. I went to the Works just for a browse but didn't buy anything. I walked past a little cafe my Mum had told me about but didn't go in, and I went to the Oxfam book shop and bought two sci-fi books by Isaac Asimov. I went to the Waterstones book shop too just for a browse but didn't buy anything. Then I went home. (After going to the toilet by the Cathedral of course!)
On Saturday I made a couscous and tofu salad ready for Sunday because we had our lunch in Church. I took a little vegan yoghurt with me too.
What have you been getting up to?
I hope you are well.
Have a nice day.

Thank you very much. That's very kind of you. I'm glad the Wi-Fi has been fixed too. It's pouring here too, that's why I didn't go to the shop again this morning.

@LadyDuck The other way round here. It was a sunny day yesterday and today started off rainy and dull.

Nothing much here except that my knee finally gave out. I am in a lot of pain because I need my knee replaced. I'm putting it off as long as I can! Have a nice day too!

@LindaOHio It's not good to have to go around in pain until then.

Oh, no! I'm so sorry you are having trouble with your knees. I hope you can get a knee replacement soon. That does sound very painful.

Did you miss me?
Thank you very much. I'm glad too.
Not much going on here either. I'm just watching The Joy of Painting.

Yes, it's very inconvenient when that happens.

Since I won't be able to make a diamond painting for my best friend for Christmas, I won't be making her a Christmas card this year. So I grabbed some of my uncle's Christmas cards and printed out some sentiments that fit and placed them in the cards. The diamond painting I am making for my best friend will have to be a birthday present to her. Last Friday I went back and forth between my house and my great-aunt's house to wash my clothes. We found out my mother's washing machine is making alot of banging noises. My mother ordered new shocks for the washing machine. They are supposed to be here this Friday. Saturday I tried on some my fall/winter clothes. I found alot of shirts didn't fit anymore. Especially my Halloween shirt. I might buy a new one soon. I also worked on Chris's (my boyfriend) diamond painting. I will try to finish it this Saturday. Sunday I finished trying on my fall/winter clothes.

@sharonelton The shocks my mother bought for the washing machine seemed to work until it starting banging again. Now my mother thinks it's a bracket that is causing the problem. My boyfriend's diamond painting is of a cat in a karate uniform with the words Easily Distracted by Cats and Karate. My best friend's diamond painting is of a girl with sunflowers and the saying They whispered You can't withstand the storm then I said I am the Storm.

@JESSY3236 I hope you can get your washing machine fixed soon.
Your boyfriends diamond painting sounds hilarious! I wish I could see it. Your friends diamond painting sounds great too. I hope you can finish them soon.

Oh, I'm sorry you can't make a diamond painting for your friend for Christmas. It sounds like you have been very busy. Did you find out why your mother's washing machine is making the banging noises? I hope you can get that fixed. I found a lot of my clothes didn't fit any more so I took them to the Oxfam shop. What is the subject of the diamond paintings that you are doing for your friend and your boyfriend?
I hope you are well.
Have a nice day.
