It's Christmas?

-

    'Coz I'm not entirely sure it feels like it. It just doesn't seem right to me somehow that we're at "that" time of year. How can we be?😕 It was warm a little while ago, golly it was warm just the other day! There are leaves still on the trees, brown I know but still...

    I was hoping to get such a lot done this month. I got a few different Christmas-y bits and bobs to make decorations with but I haven't got round to doing anything with them yet. Not even the ones that were supposed to be presents!😖 Oh well, too late now...

    To be honest I don't really think I've been in the mood to do them anyway, probably because it just doesn't really seem like Christmas yet.

    I have been working on a Tunisian Crochet project though over the last couple of weeks and it seems to be going well, and I am enjoying it.😀 It's very simple and it uses the Simple Stitch but even so, I think it will look quite good when it's done. And it will be my first Tunisian project having only ever done a few samples before. Well, I did start another project some time ago but it never got finished, it didn't feel good working on it and the hooks weren't great either, although I'm sure some people would praise them. I do have to try and think of a good way to block what I'm doing though as it has curled quite considerably. I'll think of something I'm sure but for now I'll just get on with the stitching.

    Anyway, that's probably it for this year. I'll start posting again in January. Merry Christmas.🎅🎄🤶🎄🎅

     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

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

Interlude -Summer.

     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
