Second Finish for 2015

Last night I sewed along with Wendy and friends for 2015s first FNSI and what fun it was to see you all again
I had the blocks done for this runner so last night put it together and got it finished
Been helping hubby net the fruit trees today, then I  walked the dog to get the mail
Didn,t have time to get it yesterday
First time in my life I have been "spoken too" by a policeman
Naughty girl
A new restaurant opened in our little town about 18 months ago
Quite trendy and popular with visitors
You can sit outside and drink your coffee
Trouble is our footpath is very narrow and between the stool they put along one wall and tables next to the street, it does not leave much room to walk between and when there are four big dogs tied to the table legs my little dog refuses to walk there She has been attacked by big dogs on several occasions, so I find it easier to walk on the edge of the road
Mr Policeman was not impressed
Gave me a big toot from behind then shook his finger at me
I walked up to his car window and asked him where he wanted me to walk since I could not walk on the path
Don't think he expected me to say any thing Told me" well you cant walk on the road" and why couldn't I walk on the path I told him to take a look and he told me to be aware then drove off and did a U turn and went back where he came from
Mind you there was a car parked across the disabled parking spot, loading a bed on his ute
When he saw me being spoken to he drove away very quickly and did not secure his load
I was not impressed and Mr policeman did not see him as he drove past
My whinge for today

  1. Love the runner! I think too often the police only see what they want to see. You'll have to be on the lookout for him next time you have to walk on the road! LOL

  9. That's a pretty runner. Thanks for the story and the laugh. I hope you made the policeman's day (and gave him something to think about) by giving him an earful.
