For the past two days Hubby and ES have been repairing the trailer. The wooden frame around the front window had rotted, and the hinge holding the upper bunk was no longer functional. They took down the inside layer and have almost finished putting in a new frame. It has to be screwed and glued in so it is sitting there with clamps. Once that is finished, the inner layer will be glued back on. Slow going but we need it to be secure and waterproof.
After they were finished what they were able to do today, Hubby and I went off to Value Village. I ws looking for a raincoat for YGS and a sleeping bag for ES. Score !!! Hubby found an Oshgosh rainjacket which ended up costing us $2.80 !!! The sleeping bag was $8.00. It is clean, no odours or tears .Hubby got another pair of cargo pants and I picked up 3 pairs of jeans [ one red ! ] and two light cardigans. Then we headed over to the books. Normally we haven't perused the books as they are ot in alphabetical order and your head is crooked scanning the shelves. However today we bought 5 hardcover books for YGS and 5 books for us- 3 hardcover and 2 pocket books. The deal is buy 4 get the fifth free. With our card, we got 30% off clothing purchases so bonus ! I am so pleased. The Oshgosh jacket should do him a couple of years.
Yesterday I started the Christmas stockings. I've one done and have started the next. I still need to pick up 3 accent colours. I was so hoping that I'd find some today, but no luck there.
The Tour de France was quite exciting today. I think the faster they ride, the faster I knit ! Tomorrow is a mountain stagae. I read that they are moving the finish line because of the weather. Should be interesting. As much as I like camping, I will be sad not watch the rest of the Tour live !! And there is no wifi so I can't even keep up ! :(
