Ah. They’ve all been requisitioned for stage props, then. Which is no bluddy good to me when I want to make a Stoo.

Peeling that sort of onion is very good for a cold, or rather against one. I did it once with a sack of pickling onions: by the time I had finished, there was no snot left in me and the cold had put a little white hankie on the end of a stick and made a run for the hills.

My new knitting has a note in the pattern I’ve never seen before: After casting off one stitch will remain on the right hand needle which is not included in the instructions that follow.
Well dur! Have patterns been dumbed down since I last knitted?

Dear oh dear. What do you plan to do with that one stitch?

Keep on knitting it ever upwards to make a long rope to strangle someone with?

Umph. In isolation, that’s a little perplexing, TFM. Does in make sense in the broader context at all?

It’s not in the body of the instructions, just one of the additional notes in a little box along with stuff like ‘where only one figure is given this applies to all sizes’, and the warnings about only using the stated yarn or the sky might fall in. I honestly think it’s just there for idiots who think ‘dur, I’ve cast off the sleeve like it says and there’s a stitch left’. Saves them scanning the rest of the instructions to find out what to do with it.

I can report that the back of the Bull’s gansey is cast off
Looks all right
Just a rectangle of aran weight acrylic with 10% wool in stocking stitch
I will get my knitting friend to pick up the stitches at the bottom and knit a band
Or crochet it

He communicates at the farmers’ bellow and is spoiling my beauty sleep!

Dunno about you, dear, but I do. In the immortal words of Son and Hairless: I go bed now.

But Fishies are gorgeous creatures so beauty sleep is superfluous
Sweet dreams
I will quietly sweat and contemplate pest control
Especially noise abatement
Apparently the farmer chappie is now chasing cattle to the lift!
The Irish nurse has him sorted
The sweet gentle Indian nurse was a bit too sweet to get the farmer into his bed and taking his sleepy meds

I am blatantly breaking the rule about discussing other boards here.
There is marvellous news about Wombats in the Emma NR Cancer Copers thread in the Village Hall on Peet’s. It looks as if all the ghastly treatment has paid off and the tumour is no more.
How utterly bloody wonderful.

For news like that, I think mentioning another board is entirely in order, Gus. Thank you.
(It’s bad-mouthing we don’t want to get caught up in, really.)

Now the doctor wants me to wander around the ward
What could go wrong with a blind old bag who is dizzy and lightheaded and not in control of her feets walking around a strange place ?
