Morning All
Rosy glad you are on the mend I must admit mine was nearly 4 weeks and i was fed up as well.
Gers hope L is comfortable and that you are ok
Derek I hope your coffee meeting is good.
DP1 lovely that you have a holiday to look forward to.
I hope all those struggling with sleep have a better night today.
TA I crocheted a king size blanket with granny squares for my friend for Christmas. It was the first "big" crochet project i had done and I loved it. Im now trying to finish a knitted jumper for DGS which is a complicated saddle strap and is driving me mad. I have also started a cardigan for myself that i bought the wool 3 years ago.
Hope everyone has a good day, hugs to all those who want them.

YL dgd is already churning the hearts out like there's no tomorrow! She is left handed and I'm right but she was determined to learn and soon picked it up. Knitting too but she prefers crochet. The other two had no patience with either and our lessons didn't last long x

Good afternoon
Cloudy today, but at least it's dry, until tonight apparently.
DH has gone out, and will be popping into Al*i on the way home, he has strict instructions to only buy 1 of each thing on the list, (not much, only cooking oil and gravy granules 1 forgot). It'll be interesting to see what he comes home with.
Only the usual chores today, vacuuming done, floors to mop. Pork belly slices for tea, with roasted veg and left over roasties from yesterday.
Thinking of Gers and Lionel.
Have a good day all, hope colds and viruses soon clear up. Take care.11 -
Good afternoon everyone
It's quite a cool breeze today but fine at the moment, heavy rain and increased winds forecast for later.
Popped into town this morning more for a change of scene than to buy anything but of course a few things fell into my basket.
Hope Gers and Lionel are alright and hope you soon feel better Dp1.
I have some paperwork to deal with this afternoon and then I must make sure everything is ready for the new fridge/freezer hopefully arriving tomorrow.
Nothing else to report so as always thoughts are with the sad, lonely or poorlies.
Take care x11
