Nothing ventured nothing gained

Well what a day, I couldn't drag these old bones out of bed this morning ,I was in meltdown mode,but I knew the washing and the garden were waiting so (in slow motion) I arose got dressed and hit the laundry, but the water was flowing so slow it took 15minutes to fill the tub, well I knew something was amiss, so off I went Ms Fix it, but to no avail.By the time I had eliminated all the things it could be it had fixed itself (maybe an air pocket)
Next came the garden, I had some mint I had to thin out before it took over the garden bed it was in and the lawn had some bindi grass starting to grow (this is a weed that has very sharp little pods that cling to everything and are hard to get out of a dogs coat) I have decided to remove them instead of spraying as Mr Frog is still in residence.
Today was overcast with the promise of rain, but it was so light when it came the washing dried.
I have taken it on myself to join a lapidary club (rocks and things) I am going to learn to facet gemstones and make jewellery,it is only a small club ,but very well equipped and they are so friendly, many years ago I collected speciman rocks and my dad used to tumble pebbles, which showed off their hidden beauty, I am going one step further, I hope I havent left it to late.
The first trip will be to a private property where Garnets are found, my daughters birth stone, with a lot of luck I might find a decent specimen to make her something.
I hope you are all having a good week so far,if not ,(It helps To smile) or (Have A Good Cry) whichever eases tension within.
Hugs to you all Gail
