Never enough time!   by busylady

Never enough time!

Despite the extra time during lockdown I still find myself with not enough time. This weekend I have been making a child's Victorian waistcoat for Victorian week at school next week. Henry is quite excited and said they will have rice pudding on the menu!
This clock once belonged to Peter's grandparents, although the clock face and the movement are not original. It chimes comfortingly on the hour and the half hour and keeps excellent time.
Good things today 1) a quick coffee with a friend to pick uo some plants for Katherine's garden 2) Beef stifado for dinner - a throwback to a holiday in Greece
A lovely old clock

That’s lovely and Henry will be the best dressed student! Rice pudding was a staple of our school dinners and it was torture!

Beef stifado....a dish I have never heard of! Fancy rice pudding as an example of Victorian times...suddenly I feel very old! Lovely clock!

@judithg Torture Judith....we love rice pudding in this house! Lark Hill must have had a very inferior cook to Winckley Square! 🤣🤣🤣

Lovely old clock. We have an inherited one that chimes at the same times as yours. It does loose time over a week though.

Something so soothing in the tic toc of an old clock - love that face ! What a labour of love - to sew a Victorian waistcoat for Henry - you must be his favourite grandma !!

I was laid off last year and of course stayed home a lot. THen I got another job where I worked more hours than the old one and I feel the press of time every week.

I agree with the amount of time we need compared to what we have. Love the gears in this clock.

What a beautiful clock. Beef Stifado takes me back to our 3 years living in Cyprus.
