So, who wants to help ... to cower in the cellar?

Hugs from yer bee, Carinthia xx. It’s all a bit ovva treadmill.

Fishers, I think it awful that the neighbours were so discourteous. We are very fortunate that ours are so kindly - not complaining when the Vicar broke their wall, for example, tolerating our scaffolding resting on their flat garage roof (we did say that if any damage was caused we’d pay for the whole covering to be replaced). In fact, when we consider moving home, we are well aware that we may not be so lucky another time…plus, our gardens are not pointy…Oh, dear.

Twellsy, I am absolutely delighted that the w#rk you have had done is giving you so much pleasure. Very sensible future-proofing, too.

??? You wha’?

I was just forming the view that today is a day on which many, many people need a Good Stabbing when there was a knock at the door. Turned out to be a NYM delivering a set of… 80 pointy things. If that isn’t a Sign, I don’t know what is.

Sorry, Gus. The house we viewed last week had pointy gardens and is, therefore, a no-goer. Maybe I didn’t say, at the time.

Pointy things? Erm, care to elaborate?

Coo. And there I was thinking “T-pins! She is going to block her work!”

I am expecting 170 T-pins probably some time on Wednesday, so my mind sort of leaped to them.










I like the idea of a storage case for beginners and professionals, though I would think the professionals would be more use.

Don’t be tempted to dabble with Macramé just because you have the pins, Dere.

I wish I could ever get really good potatoes, but they don’t seem to happen round here, so I just get cheapish ones instead.

You can do a lot of damage wiv a candle if you know how to use it.

(They shouldn’t have gone after Medium Vinnie at his kid’s birthday party. After all those children, a nice vicious fight was prolly a blessed relief.)
