On Friday, R was told he would be going down to Burnham military camp to stage an emergency Exercise Rescue. The unit had planned to go down there and do a virtual exercise, but had neglected to organise any accommodation, food or rooms. So rescue man was to be dispatched on Tuesday and returned Wednesday. When he turned up to work on Monday no-one had booked tickets so they immediately changed to plan b, where he would go on Wednesday and return on Thursday.
School had their open night on Wednesday so I couldn't go last night. Mid-week babysitters are pretty hard to come by, especially when you need them from after school till 8.30 at night. I wasn't disappointed - I find open nights pretty hard.
Because the leader was off to Christchurch area, and because the quilt I have been making is for friends in Christchurch, the leader suggested that I finish the quilt and he hand delivers it. It is a good idea, because I hate the idea of posting a quilt. They take too long to make to have the post lose them... It took two nights of sewing to get it finished, but it is now gone.
And they liked it.
