Friday Night with Friends

The first FNwF for 2015! (It's quite peculiar swapping the 4 for the 5 at the end of the year.)
DH and I started the evening together in front of the tv watching a show that we had recorded on BBC First...The Royal Bodyguard. We had both been looking forward to it as it starred David Jason. So we settled down to watch...and I was crocheting donated squares together for Knitting for Brisbane's Needy. 
After about 15 minutes of watching the show, I commented...'This is not very good...this show is rubbish', and DH agreed, saying that he wondered why it was advertised as a comedy because he hadn't laughed yet...nor had I. We continued to watch, ever hopeful it would improve, and all the while I was joining squares into long strips.  

No the show didn't improve so I googled reviews. Hmmmm...apparently it aired in the UK in 2011 and the Brits hated it...it bombed! So why does an Aussie Pay TV company inflict it on us? If I were a business advertising on this show's ad breaks, I would cancel the contract! Lol. 
So then I moved on to some stitching...some more work on the hexie cushion...
3 more blocks stitched together and a little pile of fabric hexagons stitched over papers. 
Cheryll, over at Gone Stitchin' hosts FNwF, so to see what other participants worked on, here's the link to the post where we all signed up http://stitchingcubbyhole.blogspot.com.au/2015/01/fnwf.html . Why not visit all or some of these clever ladies. :-)
Remember the Giveaways start tomorrow to celebrate my 1000 'first run' blog posts...who'd have thought it? Lol
