Apr. 3rd, 2005 07:32 pmSo many things have been happening recently. In the news, that is. Not that it really affects me, but ( students in Quebec are on strike ) and ( the Pope is dead. )
Well, I went and did it. I bought a set of scrapbooking scissors to make eight types of fanciful borders. Which means -- I need to buy a scrapbook. After the move, of course, once I get set up in my sewing room/office. Then, let the games begin! :D
Today I helped my brother take down the car shelter while my father watched from the window. He hurt his wrist, you see, tripping over a tree branch he hadn't realised was still attached to the tree. And because the tree happens to be a pine tree I brought home as a sapling when I was in grade six, he claims it was my fault. Whatever! We had an easier time that other years because during the night, the strong winds brought the shelter to its knees, tipping it half over. The strain caused the supports on one side to bend, one to the point of breaking the metal, once my brother had fiddled with it, trying to loosen the screw holding two pipes together. So the shelter was already mostly on the ground, which eliminated the usual worry of pieces falling on someone's head as we try to coordinate efforts to safely take the thing apart.
