Hello,girls,it’s been a beautiful day although breezy.a good washing day, if I was washing. I slept until 10,20ish from about 8 last night. I woke up a couple of times. My last being 9.30am. I thought I’d just lie a few moments before I got up. Ooops. No. I went dead to the world 🌎. I went to see if Karen was ok and had a drink 🥃 with her. Michelle is staying home today, so I went to Wendy’s this afternoon. Today was a very talkative day. We couldn’t get enough chat. I had a couple of hours there and now im home 🏠 ready to UH 😒 and jigsaw 🧩.
I see Margaret is home now, I saw their car 🚙 on their drive. I’ll probably see her tomorrow. I’ve got to do a little phoning to different places in the morning, I must not forget. I’ve no news today, so stay safe, love yawl. Xx

Wow! Lucky you. There are not 12 yarn shops within 300 miles of here.
I do feel lucky. Lots if driving around. We covered a lot of ares here in western Washington yesterday which also involved 2 ferry rides to cross the sound to the south and then again to cross to the north. There are 20 shops on the tour this year. We are only going to 12 total. xxxooo

Good morning all from a hazy Norfolk, quite breezy too. Going out in the big wide world today for bloods and doctor's appointment. Apart from that nothing else planned, DH will probably go shopping this morning as usual, then knitting when I get home this afternoon. Have a good day and still stay safe. xx

Same here, Jinx ..... I would be lucky if there was even 4 yarn shops in that radius, for me ...... but there are a huge number of yarn shops, within reach via the internet ..... but I can't touch those yarns before I buy them! xoxoxo

Well ladies, I was going to do a catchup, but I am just in the wrong mind set, so I am going to leave it until I feeling in a much better frame of mind. I have just handed over the paying of the bills, to DH, because basically I am sick of doing it; & my banking app has just locked me out in the space of 3 days; so I told him that he can now pay the bills ..... I have done it for the past 30 odd years, & enough is enough! I hope everyone has a great day today, I shall now sign off; and go and do something mindless, like some knitting, playing a game, or spinning! Will possibly try again tomorrow, but don't hold your breaths!😵💫😑😐 xoxoxo

Morning. I hope your adventure goes smoothly and that you return home full of good cheer. Hubby will not find any cheer shopping. I think if the prices continue this skyrocketing rise I might lose weight. 🙃

If having a needle stuck in my arm and trying to get some action from the doctor will fill me with cheer then maybe but I somehow doubt it. He hasn't said anything about prices rising and the piece of lamb he bought was a lot cheaper than I thought it would be, which is lucky as I can't afford to lose weight it's coming off me without trying. xx

Good morning from Port Hope Ontario Canada. It is 7:06 am EDT and 12'C (54'F) going up to 23'C (73'F) with humidity and lots of sunshine.
There is a crazy young squirrel in the back yard who has been running, jumping and rolling in the grass and scaring both the birds and the other squirrels. I noticed this morning that we do not have nearly the amount of birds that we usually have. We have lots of red-winged blackbirds, mourning doves and grackles, but not many other birds. Even the hundreds of robins that usually live in this subdivision are silent.
It's Friday the 13th so I'm expecting craziness at work. Yesterday 40 employees left and I had to disable all their accounts. I ended up not doing much else.
Mum and DD painted the frames around the gardens. As usual, mum came inside with more paint on her than on the wood. She put her hands on the painted frames several times, and even put her hair into the paint. DD had a couple drops on her hands.
I've done 3 repeats on my summer top, 7 more to go on this panel, followed by 3 more panels, then seam them all together with 3 needle bindoff.
