A much cooler day, thankfully. We are going to pop over to Morpeth, mainly to buy a birthday card for MiL. She, as with my Mother, is ‘Mam’ and it is extremely difficult to find cards addressed to other than ‘Mum’ in the usual outlets. Might try to find her a pressie, too.
I do hope that Carinthia is feeling more rested and that Fishers’ and Gus’ pain levels are tolerable. I have had something of a setback with my poorly knee (which was so much improved) so I’m gnashing my teeth, a bit.

Flutters Eyelashes

That’s a Bugga, Soo, but it didn’t 'arf twist when you fell
Sigh

I think knees have a design fault so my sympathy Soo
Oooo glamorous chatelaine
Here it’s cold and mserable and I am knitting a tunic with my nice aran wool
I checked with my expert kmitter mate about sizing and she ripped back what I had done so I had to start all over again
I know Frod-all about knitting, Twellsy, but I understand that, when one uses a frame, it is not easy to get the same perspective about size, as one would with a tension square
Apropos knitting, crochet & felt Poppies, we now have 35,000 but they require spares , & my Church have asked for some too,so it’s onwards & upwards

This is on needles so real proper growed up knitting
Well as growed up as I will ever be!
Pore Soo. Knees izza bugga.
I am grately improved, thank you, and merrily torturing That Fish with icepacks.
Next lesson: first aid for a freezer-burnt fin…
Fink I’ll just stay out here in the garden where it’s safe.
Yikes!
The bit in the instructions about wrapping the pack in a towel is sort of important…
Lookin’ gorgeous, Carinthia.
I have never known someone’s hair grow as quickly as yours.
Pleased to note that Gus is improved - pore Fishers, though.
Even in Morpeth, we could only find one ‘Mam’ card (it had a teddy onnit and hasn’t come home with us) so we found a ‘Mum’ one that I can doctor.

An oldie but a goodie: the secure computer. (Original credit removed; I think the chap may have been in Sweden but I don’t now remember.)
The thing is that I have been rubbish for the last fortnight, & still it grows
My Late Mother was the same - desperately ill, but with her beautiful dark auburn hair looking glorious
Good Luck with the card-doctoring
Perhaps share an Slammer first ?

A much easier way to make sure a PC would never be stolen was to stick a Packard Bell badge on it.
Slammers all round, sez me.
Hair? Mine is only just starting to look anything like normal, from a sequela of 'flu.
Dinner was from the freezer. It woz a chickpea and butternut squash curry and I had made the horrible mistake of adding garden peas when I initially concocted it. Sweet wasn’t innit (well it was, actually) so I doctored it with sliced red chillies, creamed coconut and lime juice. Good enough.

Not sure what it will be, here
Am flumping abit,but could probably make some Mushroom Soup
Carinthia.xx
Get your soup made, Sweetie, if you have the ingredients.
Have an Slammer, first.

Thank-you Soo
I’ll deploy the onion chopper & we’ll have it all fine & dainty

Blurry marvelous, those chop-chops.
Chin-chin, deario!

Meanwhile we are having slices of delicious fresh bread with pâté and with Various French Cheeses.
Sounds fab to me, Fishers.

The soup is a little late, because a friend came to visit
Oh well, I can eat soup at anytime…
