Good morning all from a cloudy and windy Norfolk, we seem to be stuck with this cold wind. Not a lot planned for the day, slow pot roast of brisket in the oven so that will last us a few days. Finished the back of my knitting and started the first front, will get on with that this afternoon. Have a peaceful day if you can. xx

I need a good knitting project. Always feel better when I’m knitting. I can do crochet stitches but can’t follow the patterns.

There are lots of sites that point out the physical and mental benefits of knitting.
(Although I don't feel that way when I'm up against a badly written pattern

)
Check out the free patterns on Ravelry. There are lots and I'm sure you'll find something.

There was talk at Knit Night that a Michaels store is opening in the Cobourg mall. There are a whole bunch of yarn snobs at my LYS. I keep talking about synthetic yarns have a place, especially in baby yarn and for afghans. I think I'm the only reason that the owner carries acrylic yarn at all.

Our mechanics don't like to keep cars on their lots due to insurance issues. I hope you get your car back soon.
It sounds like it's time to get another heater. I have to get another air cleaner for my room. Mine only works on high speed now and it is too noisy for me to sleep at that speeed.
Everything is made to break these days, even things that are expensive. (Like cars!)
I hope you have a good appointment today.

I've caught up. That's not good. A lot of missing sisters.
I hope you are all feeling better tomorrow.
Take care and have as good a day as you can.

💯 I’ve been out for my lunch. 🥪 I’ve had a BBQ 🍗 pork pulled. Bun and it was gorgeous. It’s a nice little religious cafe we go to and the acoustics are a bit loud. Someone came in with 2 small kids, perhaps aged 2. They were little u know what’s. They were shouting and creaming as loud as hey could because their voices were echoing, and their mammy and nanny 🧑‍🍼 just ignored them. Then they let them out of the chairs and onto the wooden floor. Well, they ran back and forth over and over again. I was pleased to get out. It’s not the 👧 kids fault. The parents need a good shove…..enough moaning.

Jinx I hope things are getting better for you and Harold. I’m always interested. Lisa…the only way is up….🆙 stay safe girls, have patience, pretend you’re in a cafe in flipping toddlers running and screaching….theyve got me a coiled spring.i need to find my inner peace, but I think it’s gone away. Love yawl…..

I have a few problems when I need to use acrylic yarns; psoriasis irritates my skin and sets of new sites of psoriasis lesions, which are more painful than the lesions that form with no help from other source's, so I rarely use acrylic yarns. It doesn't help that most of my girls have many issues with, that includes my beautiful gdk's! 🤔🤣😂🤣

I am now going to do a bit of a catchup, while I am having a reasonably good few hours. I really hope that everyone is having as good a day as possible, and those who are awaiting some medical treatment for continuing ailments.💖🤒😵‍💫🤧 Hugs to all who need them! xoxoxo

Good morning from a 40°F and clear Shoreline area. No plans again today so will see what might come along. I'll get on with my knitting at some point. I hope you all are having as good a day as you can and staying safe and well. Jinx, I am thinking of you and hope both you and Harold are doing well. xxxooo

I won't be catching up, as I thought I would be, as my brain has just decided that it needs to go to sleep, so I will get on here tomorrow morning, and do some catchup then, It will be a reasonably quiet day, as DH is going on a bike ride, so it will be Sweetie & myself at home, so I should be able to get a bit caught up. Anyway, I hope everyone has a wonderful day, either relaxing or doing whatever you want to do! xoxox

I like Ravelry. I have a lot of books and patterns I’ve collected since I was around 12 years old maybe 8 years. I don’t know what son can do when I die because he won’t know who would love them as I do.
My problem is choosing what to knit. Sometimes a piece just calls my name. Then I’m a happy person. Thanks for the site on benefits of knitting.
The mechanic got the motor light off and fixed the heater. But today the light went on again. He will look at it on the 29th and says it’s ok to drive it. I didn’t realize how much I need my car until I didn’t have it for a month. I’ve always sympathized with people who don’t have a car.

The therapist will wrap my legs so they decrease in size. 3 to 4 weeks 3 times a week. I don't like to be late so when I have an appointment I’m edgy. 10to 12 appointments I’ll be quite edgy. Just glad she can help me.

Wish I knew how to de-chipmunk my property. Don’t want to hurt them just find them a place in the woods. One is as long as a fish fry then I saw a baby maybe more than one. Cost $6,200 to fix the car wiring they chewed. Insurance paid all but $200 which I paid. That would have bought a lot of yarn etc.
