Well - I don't believe I've had a pretty good day for once!  The broken laptop is back and working without huge expense and several items sold over on the west coast. The purple throw I took over on Sunday has gone along with 3 tartan owls, a tartan purse and a tartan heart!  So much for re-stocking - the stock is down on what it was before!  The day job continues to get in the way but it does pay for stuff so it has to continue for now.  A couple of years might just see it off.  On a different note - the leaves are starting to turn and a couple of mornings have had a real autumnal feel.  It's dark about nine o'clock now and it looks like summer is virtually over.  Not sure I'm ready for cold weather just yet!  Ah well back to the sewing machine!
