Frazzled!!!

Well the journey as expected was a nightmare....so many confusing roundabouts it's ridiculous and thrashing down rain didn't help matters much.
We arrived much later than expected but it was good to sit and talk to Maggie's partner and get to know him better.
I had never visited Maggie's house while she was alive so it was lovely to be there and to see the room where she created so much beautiful art work.
I was given the hugest box of sewing materials which has taken hours of sorting out and there are some beautiful things and some very useful things. I'll show you the beautiful things when I get a photo of them and as for the useful things....well.....let's just say.....I will never have to buy elastic again that's for sure...lol. 
Maggie will be having a good laugh at me as I am quite puzzled by the amount of knicker edging elastic there is.
The visit did do some good and I slept very soundly last night with no nightmares although I feel very strange today...rather limp and slightly frazzled round the edges.

 Anyhoo I am just pottering....again!!!
A simple tea of sausages and tomatoes with crusty bread for supper when Andy gets in at 7pm and nothing much wanting doing in the house so being a bit limp doesn't really matter today.

 Hope you are all having a good day.

    Glad it went well, Sheila - other than the nightmare journey. Nice to have all the lovely (and useful) things from Maggie.

    All,s well that end,s well. You can put the slayed dragon behind you now and have fun deciding what to make. Not to mention how many pairs of knickers you can sew. Tea sounds just the ticket, I managed to throw a veg curry in the slow cooker and have turned a tin of apricots out into a jelly. It will be throat soothing after the curry has warmed us up.

      Emotion really is knackering isn't it Jackie.
      It will be lovely to remember Maggie with a smile rather than the tears of the few months.

    Glad you are back safe and sound and got to spend time in your sister's room where she worked her magic creating lovely things. Hope you continue to sleep well now.

    At least the first visit was a success and he sounds to be a caring man, thinking of you and giving you the opportunity to inherit some of your sister's sewing stuff.

    From experience I have usually found that the thing I've been dreading isn't always as bad as I'd thought, so am pleasantly pleased that I made the effort. At least that is 'under your belt' now.

      Thanks Jules I feel much better.
      The elastic is the soft kind that you use to edge the waist and leg holes of knickers.
      I could make myself a drawer full if I knew how.
