A Mug For Hooks

    Just a quickie!      The other week I noticed a programme listed in the telly paper for BBC1 about the YarnBombers of Swansea, so naturally I recorded it, and I've just got round to watching it. Well, there's no Pointless at the moment because of Wimbledon. And I have to say that I really enjoyed it! The group seem like a great bunch of people and the work that they put into their YarnBombs is incredible, especially what they were asked to do for the Coronation of King CharlesⅢ.     If you missed the TV airing but would like to watch it, here is a link for the show on BBCiplayer:     https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m001n3vf/our-lives-series-7-yarnbombers       The only other show I can think of that features any sort of yarn crafting is Kirstie Allsops Hand Made Christmas, and I must admit I don't watch many of those. Do you know of any other? Byeee! 👋😀

     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
