Could you get Mr KK some pegs specifically for model making?

I could, but it’s not really a huge issue 😉😊 If I bought another pack of wooden ones I’d be drowning in them! 😊

How is it that sometimes they can sneak in through the cat flap without you knowing, and at other times they are like door-slamming teenagers? 

This totally.  Mine is a very noisy teenager cat, announces his arrival every time he comes home several times a day.  If he jumps off the bed in the day it sounds like a hippo coming through the ceiling.  But on a very few occasions when he's gone out early evening I've found myself worrying about him being out so long later, only to find him already sleep on the bed.  🤔😼🤣

Great start on the knitting. 

Glad your kittens are settling in and making you feel like they value you at last.

Looking forward to seeing some of your art work.

I so loved the line that someone posted of "the house was infested with people". Very autistic view of looking at the world... I should know...

That looks lovely.

Ummm …. I’m a bit shy about my ‘artwork’ @savingholmes, it’s more like doodles than ‘art’! 😉
The kittens haven’t sat on me since, but at least Chloe accepts strokes and scritches now without flinching - I’ll take that 😊❤️

It’s an interesting yarn @beanielou. 22% merino, 22% alpaca, 23% polyamide, 23% acrylic and 10% viscose. So a bit plastic, but that makes it hard wearing 🤷‍♀️ and really quite soft 😊

I seem to fallen into quite a bit of cooking during my five days off …
- walnut and lentil pies - bit odd, quite bitter, rather dry (should have added all the recommended oil to mix, I think) but good with gravy, mash, veggies etc.
- a Cypriot stylee bean stew thing which I haven’t tasted yet as you are recommended to leave it a day and reheat before eating … 🤔 Used thyme from the garden ❤️
- mushroom stroganoff with cashew cream tonight - used my homegrown red onions and parsley for this! 🥳
- straining the yoghurt for my first ever attempt at tikka masala paneer tomorrow 
- will also knock out a batch of lentil and mushroom bolognese tomorrow 

Also, got out in the garden for an hour and cleared many, many ‘dead’ pots - another job that has been ‘looking at me’ for months 😊

Aw I'm so glad you're having such a lovely wholesome time

Got off to a good start here ….
- stroganoff boxed up, labelled and in freezer
- marinade for paneer, onions and peppers made and … well … marinading … 😉
- batch of lentil and mushroom bolognese on the simmer
- dining table of Doom (collector of clutter extraordinaire!) cleared, table cloth washed and on the line facing the sun
- reviewed / read in detail very long process document for the product on line stop and have some questions for people tomorrow … All work stuff now packed up and PUT AWAY! 😊

Just caught up with your diary... so sorry boss is being so annoying - at least it sounds like you have a plan in place to deal with him. Laughed at all the hard stares coming from here ...I am still looking crossly at him.

I keep detailed  timesheets of what work I get through  on my billing for my contract work - (mentioning names, tasks, conversations/chats/emails on projects etc)  so I am assuming you have now started doing that.. Maybe flag Operational work, suddenly asked for work, work for legal obligations  etc etc so you can show the division of your time.

I really liked the bottom of jumper 2 so glad you started it - I do like the higher neckline though of jumper one..

well done on tidying the dining table, there are always hotspots that attract clutter..
