Novemblog! Post 1.

-

    Last year over on the Attic24 blog I learned of a thing called Blogtober. I'd never heard of it before but it sounded jolly interesting and I thoroughly enjoyed reading Lucy's daily posts, and it was one of the reasons that I thought that I would definitely like to start a blog this year. Well, as with the whole Granny Square Day thing, I completely forgot about it until I clicked onto Lucy's first post. "Oh blow!", I thought, sort of...😇 To be honest it was probably just as well because I'm no-where near as interesting as she is, and if I'd just started posting randomly it would have very quickly gotten dull as ditch, which would've just pissed me off as much as it would've bored you lot to tears, or worse - BBC programming!💩

     So I've come up with a new "thing" - Novemblog!👏 Actually it probably already exists, but as I'm not social media savvy, I shall never know! And although you could just stick the word blog at the end of September or December, it just makes sense to follow the original month and all the other months aren't really suitable. After-all, no-one wants a Blarch do they?😱

    Now, I'm not going to guarantee I shall post everyday because I think that might be pushing it and I'll probably be flagging a little bit after a while, as I said, I'm not that interesting, but I shall definitely be posting more often than I have done so far!

I hope!😟

Blotober - Post 2!

    You would think that with it being a Sunday, I would have had plenty of opportunities to post my intended Blogtober post. But no. I haven't even touched a computer today until now because there always seemed to be something else to do! And I don't suppose any of it was particularly important. Ever have days like that?     So instead of that post I'm going to do a Sunday Waffle. A quick ramble about the day and anything else that pops into the noggin as I type. Minus the swear words. Probably.       It was pretty grim when I got up, it looked like it had rained🌧️ all night, but the sun soon came out☀️ and it was bright till about early afternoon when the clouds started gathering. Somewhere across the road someone had lit a garden fire, smoke blowing up the road so at least this time we didn't get the stink of it.🔥     We did have a fab dinner at lunch time! Rib Bones in a sticky Chinese sauce served with mash, peas and carrots. Golly it was yummers!!😋 😋I haven

     Hello! I'd like to start by asking a few questions to those of you who have been using silicon-handled hooks longer than I have.     In the last few days I have notice that the hook I'm using most has developed a weird ickieness to the handle. It's not sticky or rough, just not right. My others don't feel like this. I even washed it the other day and if anything it made it slightly worse.      Could this be a reaction to the hand-cream I use in the evening to lessen the roughness of my fingers? Is there a way of fixing the issue, and is there a best way of storing and caring for this style of hook? Comments and solutions would be most appreciated.😀     I finished reading "The Tears Of The Salamander" Monday night, and tonight I will start reading something else. I'm just not sure what yet, it may end up a point and grab situation. Whatever it is I probably won't have read it before and I'll let you know what I choose.      Yesterday I mentio

     I'll be honest, things are not great here at the mo'.       Quite apart from the fact that these last few hot weeks have turned my hands and fingers into wet and clammy nightmares, we've all had Covid. Yeah, after all this time, we finally get the bloody thing. The daft thing is my parents have been getting their boosters - the last one not long ago - whereas I haven't had one since the end of... 2021?, and if anything I fared better and have gotten over it quicker than they have! That's not to say any of us are exactly "right" at all: Mother still sounds like she has a cold, but doesn't, Father still has an awful bloody cough which is driving us all mad, and we're all still quite tired and head-achey.      And then there's the "other stuff" which I'm loath to go into because there really isn't much chance of any of that changing any time soon, if ever, and you never know who might end up reading all this. Plus I know you
