One is a Singer Featherweight my friend Angie gave me, virtually unused. Not The Singer Featherweight, a plastic one, in case anyone is having heart failure, though I would like a proper Featherweight LOL. Anyhow, he says it is a brute to work on and if he can't fix it quickly it will not be worth the bother. From the financial point of view it makes perfect sense but I hope he can as it is a light little machine and handy for carting about - it just will only sew on one side and I would rather it still had the zig zag capability, not to mention sewing in the middle. Amazing how much difference those little increments to the left or right make.
The other is a Bernina Record, obtained by the same Angie (do you see a pattern here LOL she leads me into temptation, that one.....) and the cams don't engage so hopefully he will be able to sort that out as he says it is a common fault on these ancient machines. Ds5 picked it up to move it and almost dropped it; the great weight being totally unexpected LOL. Good thing it didn't land on his foot and that he didn't actually quite let go........
So whilst in Fareham we attempted to do a bit of Christmas shopping and came home with a garage to stay at our house. Wonder who for, us or GG?
The gorgeous grandson came to stay. Grandad babysat him the night before as designated sitter let ds2 down so last night he came to stay with us. So that is 2 Xmas company do's over with and Sir has now gone home. Good lad, only woke us up once and as he is 14 mths he is very funny when awake. Keeps us amused anyway. Good thing I had bought a shedload of plastic baubles for the rather large christmas tree, as GG decided to get them all out and try bouncing them. Being plastic, they did . They also rolled under the furniture so not too many have reached the tree yet.
Today apart from the food shopping, GG and his dad, I took ds3 and ds6 to visit their grandad who is in a home in a little village in Wiltshire for a few weeks. GrandadB is not particularly impressed, but it's early days and he looks a lot more relaxed than he has been of late. Hopefully we will be able to drive up there during the week, taking GG with us, as we have the pleasure of GG's company during the day all week until he swans off to deepest Devon with his parents to see other nannies and grandads over Christmas, in my car probably...and that reminds me, better see about insurance as I will be driving a little red box around while they are away.
I wonder if I can put a pic of GG and his great granddad in here.....
This was from the weekend before but never mind
