DIOCESAN CLOTH OUTFIT ARRIVED

well actually I got a taxi to take me to Vivians
They do make clothes here that fit to a tee, I will wear it Sunday and have it loosened a bit, not used to clothes fitting exactly

the top front has pleats that have the edge serged

and the skirt has 3 pleats front and back

the real fun with getting something made,

I never have any idea what the style will be until I see the finished outfit

....  wait till Sunday to see how it fits

 

making a booklet

I know I have been on this topic before but I clearly did not get it last time, typed a 11 page booklet today for Holy Week for the cathedral. I tried to use a frame last time but cant make it work so I need to learn in the summer as today I type each page as a document and then cut and paste to put it together, maybe one day I'll get it. and then maybe not ......

ordinary day

shopping, laundry, ironing, some typing of documents, researching on line, trying to set up the next newsletter, gathering info for a power point, reading, hydro comes and goes, water comes and goes (a bit of a pain when I have clothes washed and they need rinsing but water comes back so they get to the clothes line to dry) got some yam today and had 2 helping for supper, found a new brown bread with at least one raison in it so far

trying to insert video

I took some video with my phone as I cant figure out how to do it with my camera.
I hope I can upload to this posting.
Dean's wife Mary and Atta making pound ( cassava and plantain cooked and then mashed together, looks like bread ready to rise) this in a bowl covered with a soup would be supper. The process takes 20 to 25 minutes and it takes 2 to tango,one with the bowl continually adding water and turning it over so it does not stick and the other with the pound stick

here it is and it works

yipeeeeeeeeee

a big treat for Palm Sunday

I just found out that everyone is wearing diocesan cloth this Sunday. Cloth with pictures of 3 bishops who have been here, the diocesan crest and picture of the cathedral, purple on white
SO I bought cloth from the dean, going to Vivian tomorrow to see if she can make me an outfit for me to wear on Sunday, everyone tonight said I will look out of place and I pointed to my skin and said I always look out of place with white skin...gales of laughter
Dean will drive me to Vivian's and I hopefully will be in diocesan cloth on Sunday

 

thank goodness for batteries as hydro off, no fan but I will look great on Sunday    lol
