    seafarers_wife Brill news about your OH. Will you celebrate Christmas in January? DS3 is home now, back at college.

    Lil_me I am doing as you, reading a bit, thinking , 'I must do something' and forgetting to post

    vanilla I hope it was you. Great news about your daughter going into a different class.

    pigpen I hope you get your deliveries soon. We have had another go astray. I think sometimes ours are put in porches of empty houses somewhere on the fellside. I don't expect anyone dares to venture down our hill in a van.

    vanilla I hope you manage to get your burst pipe sorted very soon. Knowing where our stopcocks are might need to be added to list of Winter preparations.
    Today's list
    wrap 3 presents
    write some cards for fsmily
    rag rug !!

    Does anyone know of an online pattern for a knitted snood/ buff that is cool enough for DD aged 24?

    Thanks pigpen I knew I came to look for something online then forgot-thermals for 80 yr old aunt!!
