    Hi = Love to one and all. I hope all who are posting are really well and those who are not posting are also really well. I really feel Kathy in particular must have lost internet connection cos she is always hereabouts or we KNOW she is not IYSWIM.
    We had a night of very extreme winds on Saturday night -- where we are in Spain always seems to get the tail end of things --- we think "Oh that was a dodgy night etc" and the next day we see the news and think " Oh that was just a minor inconvenience!! "

    Anyway lots of news on here and lots of good and some sad things --- so love to all!

    Well just as I should be settling to the last bit of the puppies what do I embark upon --- puppet making!!! Have I ever made a puppet before -- NO !!! They are quite fun though and I cant get this idea of bags of hope out of my head. Do they mean bags full of hope or hope delivered in a bag or are the two the same --- I will think about this but whilst I am thinking I will also be thinking about how to fill the bags---- Taggies are my next project I think!!
    Try and do a good deed every day.

    What sort of puppets are you making Chalky. I mean knitted or crocheted, hand or finger or with legs and strings etc. I've been trying to find some information about the toy stuffing but nothing so far.

    Good morning everyone, you must all be busy with other things.
    The sun is shining and there's actually a little warmth in it today, lovely.
    Hope you're all ok, and that Kathy is back soon.
    Lots of love xxx
  • Good morning everyone, tried Kathy again this morning and phone is still not ringing. Not surprising last nights French news said that over 220,000 homes were without electricity BUT Nicco (el presidenti) has assured everyone they WILL have electric today, perhaps he will be doing the connections himself! I have weak sunshine with frost but have to scoot out and do some shopping shortly. Will try again later with the phone. Hope you all have a really good day

  • Hi everyone.
    Maytaurus - thanks for your concern. I'm fit and well just not always able to post. I tend to read the thread when I'm at work, but can't always post - have to be careful!!!!!

    It's a beautiful day here - the sky is blue, sun is shining, its a bit cold, but it doesn't really matter, the sunshine just makes me feel so much better.
    I would rather be at home though today instead of at work, but being at home doesn't pay the bills!!

    Hope everyone is having a good day - hugs and kind thoughts for those who need them. Lets hope that Kathy gets reconnected soon and that everything is OK with her.

    Take care all.

    Ann xx
