    As predicted Mar . I thought you'd have the RV collecting the empty cake tins in anticipation of Lindas BeRo baking day .


    Glad the furry purry goddess still rules the house . Is your arm still confined ? Between us both we wont be much use should the tumbrels roll and we need to whip out the knitting .

  • Yes you would, as the tumbrils roll past you can tie your poor injured shoulders together and like in a three legged race, knit on whilst cackling and smoking your pipes with your two good hands and arms, mind you'd need good long needles wouldn't you?

    Lyn I'm a leftie and I think Mar is too . It's my left shoulder that has the problem so we could end up tied up in knots following your guidance and I'm not talking wool .
