I needed to be at the Toyota service centre by 10.30. It was well organised, distancing measures in place, and the coffee's still good. I got them to adjust my clock back from daylight saving (yeah, well...), restore the voice on my GPS and give me advice on the dent I put in the back passenger-side door when avoiding a mad woman in February. My service guy, Mason, was patient, courteous, obliging and unfazed.
I now have the name of a crash repairer.
I got quite a bit of knitting done while waiting - finished the plain band and began the next lace band.
Afterwards, I went to Officeworks to purchase some more document boxes. I have decided to use them to organise my Appleton's threads. I bought 5 of them, 4 coloured, with a view to using the colours to separate and organise the threads.
From there I went to Create in Stitch to pick up a few bits and pieces. Di Kirshner had a class going. It's great to see people distanced, enjoying themselves and concentrating.
Since it was now nearly 2pm and I was hungry, I stopped at Mr Nick's and had an excellent calamari lunch.
Back at home, I tackled my old Appleton's storage system.
I managed to divide them into four main colour groups (cleverly aligned with the box colours!) and then arrange them in rough number order.
I suspect I should have gone for the wider storage boxes.

They do, however, just fit. The advantage of this system is that I can see the numbers through the box and it is easy to pick out a set of blending colours.
That left the clear box for me to use for the threads I need for my current project and the fill-in bits for my Crewel chair. .
I didn't start the Oak Apple Tree tonight. I wanted to get the next (lace) band done on my shawl. I managed that.
I have a window cleaner coming at 8am in the morning, so I'd better get to bed.
