    Hi all

    Glad you are having fun @Hostafan1
    Did something dangerous last night, went to the pub. Met an old friend [ by chance ], Candida Doyle. Anyone know who she is, without looking her up. Must be at least 5 years since I last saw her.

    Hope things start to improve @Yviestevie, it must be a really tough situation for you.

    Oooo - you have cool friends @punkdoc (although had to google her, not being an officionado myself ☺️).  @Hostafan1 so glad you are enjoying Grandad cuddles 👶🏼👴🏻.  Hang on in there @Yviestevie ......you’re doing so well.  Hope things turn a corner soon.

    Got some weeding to do today.  Just had freshly picked raspberries to put on my porridge - so I am starting the day well 🍓🍇🥣

    Also very pleased that enough gold thread to finish my latest cross stitch project arrived in the post this morning.  Its like hens teeth atm - apparently the factory that makes it turned all its capacity over to making elastic for face masks 😷.  After many hours on google I found a lovely place in Scotland that had few reels left, so I snapped them up, feeling like I’d won the lottery.

    Maybe not quite as cool as i would like to be.
    Her mum was the cleaner in my local pub, so Candida was often in there whilst Pulp were struggling to make their break through. I recognised her because the band played in various local venues.

    Morning all.

    Gosh that was quick @floralies, I hope they like the houses they are going to look at.

    We are going to tea with our friends in the village this afternoon.

    Off to sort out books, I have far too many. I won't need to hoard books in English any more, the local C of E near the house I'm moving too has a barn full of them which it sells very cheaply for charity. I'll give a lot of books to them before we move.

  • Her name rang a bell @punkdoc but I had to google. Glad you went out and had some fun 😎 
    Well done with the gold thread @chicky
    At last I’ve finished the lap blanket I was knitting for @WonkyWomble ‘s lovely MIL ... she’s getting on a bit now and feels the cold since she tumbled down the stairs last year ... not surprising really, don’t think Ipswich is quite as warm as her native Antigua ... this should help

    That's a good size @Dovefromabove and looks lovely and warm as well.
    Wish I could get OH to sort out his books BL.
    You're probably on cuddles nos. 2 and 3 by now Hosta.
    Keep going @Yviestevie, it will be easier I hope once your daughter's moved.

    Had our usual walk this morning and the weather's really nice but thanks to those stupid XR protesters, found no papers had been delivered. Grrrr

    Love the colours in that blanket @Dovefromabove 💙🧡💙
  • Thanks @chicky ... the wool is nearly all leftover from other projects ... when she was so poorly last winter I knitted her a couple of quick extra long cardigans with Aran weight wool ... like her son she's very tall so she can never find cardigans in the shops that keep her back and hips warm, so the aqua and forest green are leftover from her cardigans ... the blue is from a cardi I knitted for my MIL and the charcoal is from a sweater I knitted for OH ... I just bought one big hank of the orange to tie it all together.  She known the blanket is coming ... she's really chuffed that it's made from remnants of things which were, in her words 'knitted out of love'  <3
