So, 2019-20 is year 34 of my 50 year reading plan; the years start at my birthday.  Most years, I go to the library in June and find as many of the listed books as I can.  This year, I forgot, and the year finishes next month!  So last week, I did a search to see how many of the books I could find second hand, on-line.  I found a couple in a Kindle edition, one that was a ridiculous price, some that were unavailable, but several that I ordered.  The latest one arrived today.  It’s much bigger than I expected:

I thought it would be OK because it looked like it would be full of pictures.  Not so!  I have a long read ahead of me.  Perhaps Rocco has the better idea…

Well, having finished the bedspread, I have to decide what to sew next.  I have had a suit partially cut out for some time, and I have the fabric for a Regency dress which I bought at the start of the lock-down.  To begin with, I printed off the Regency Dress pattern and assembled the pieces.  That was a whole project in itself!  I discovered that an old ashtray was perfect as a sellotape dispenser, and did finally end up with the pattern pieces in a folder, ready to go.

But then I decided to go back to the grey suit.  So I cut out the lining for the dress, and began to assemble it.  My plan is to have it ready for when I go back to court sittings next week.  So far, there’s only the front. Fine as long as I don’t turn round…
