Blogtober '23 - Day 31.

-

    I don't feel that I've done very well with this years Blogtobering. I had lots of ideas for it but I never actually got any of them started.  I was going to do more WIP-ing Sessions, a pattern folder sort out, a Tunisian Mitten Ta-da post and probably some other things which I didn't write down and have so far not remembered. Having a faster upload speed would have been helpful too!

    I was actually in two minds whether or not to even do it this year after last years attempt. But then I thought it might  be a good distraction from "other things" that I'd rather not acknowledge. I was wrong, of course, and it became just something else to stress about. I suppose it would be easier to do this type of thing if I actually had a life to tell you about, but I don't so I can't.

    I was not expecting the Granny Square Project to take as long as it is, and it is becoming a bit of a chore-bore - and we all know what happens when you get bored of something!

    I am pleased with how my drum stool cover is working out and considering that it wasn't a planned project, it's actually becoming a really welcome go-to WIP! I will need to find a close match for that darkest pink in order to finish it, but I think that should be doable.

    The weather too has had a big impact on me this month - we've had so much rain and gloomy skies that I've just not wanted to bother with all this walking and going out that my doctor wants me to do. Perhaps November will be sunnier?

    Oh well, that's all from me for now but do come back occasionally because you never know, I may have just posted something amazing!

    Byeee,👋😄

      You did!? Well thank you very much! I will be posting more project pictures as and when they get finished - I'm much better at starting something than finishing it!

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
