Yes, I know; but I was being rude.

True. Unless you want to consider it an accomplice, I suppose.

Humph! Iāve given up on knitting for today. For some reason I have zero concentration, zero coordination and zero patience - with myself.
I think Iāll have a drink instead.

May I join you, TFM? Our states of mind and degrees of success with stick and string sound somewhat similar.
The work lamp is still on, though, warming a damp and sad Oaf (on my second-best bead mat), who keeps going out when it seems to be dry and getting Rained On almost immediately, poor feller.
What I would like to do is go to bed and not wake up until at least the end of March

But of course, we can drink and grump in harmony. Sleeping until April sounds the most wonderful idea, though I doubt I could do that since at the moment I seem to be quite unable to sleep through the night. I get to sleep alright but wake at 5 am and then just lie there feeling uncomfortable and fed up.
Yawn.

Commiserations.
Read on your tablet or kindle when you wake up, me dear (ideally a book you like enough to reread: pleasure without suspense). Sometimes one goes back to sleep that way. And sometimes one doesnāt biff oneself in the face with the device of choice in the process and wake up again with an unladylike oathā¦
Iām not selling this very well, am I?

Are they a sort of culinary St Christopher? Would one of them stop the average bullet?
Or are they just likely, as pickled onions tend to do, to persist once ingested?

Speaking, as I think we were, about bees in bonnets, I am happy to report that the bamboo toilet paper is up to the mark. I have yet to receive glowing reports from friends. While we discussed the possible merits, or otherwise, of such toilet tissue, one of our number suggested that with my proven dexterity concerning chopsticks I might employ these to apply the bamboo. How we larfed - well, he did. Pointy sticks, indeed.
Pickled onions {{{swoon}}}. DD had concocted pickled shallots for Christmasā¦they were totally fab.
