Interesting discussion - I wouldn't have known how to make an icord either! One of Knit and Natter ladies has decided to make a jumper for her youngest granddaughter - she went to a wool shop asked for advice (she has not knitted anything more than squares before) they sold her wool and a pattern that was to be knitted in one piece and assured her it would be really easy 😲 it starts with knitting a sleeve - all good - but then she was a bit stuck - two of us looked at the pattern and I cast on the extra stitches that she needed for the next bit... It kept me awake that night - a case of - 'well I know two of us looked at it and agreed the next step, but I'm not sure about this, that sleeve (which was already looking too long) is just going to grow and grow' - quick text 'don't do anymore until we have looked at that again'! Think we are now on the right track - took it to where it needs to be and the 'sleeve' has been moved to a spare needle - flippin' heck - this was sold as being an 'easy pattern' - if it was me I would have taken it apart and chosen an easier pattern... I don't think will be the last time we have to try and sort it out!
-
Think I know where you are going with this 😉 but no I don't, have been meaning to sort that out for ages...
-
Oi missus - you didn't tell me that when we were 'chatting' last night - do hope you feel better soon - how did you come to get 'glutened'?
-
Good morning - 'tis Friday! Hope everyone is okay? I understand that we are in for a 'wet and wild' weekend - please can I get my washing dry today first 🤞 I have had an unusually busy week - all good, made a nice change to have to rush about a bit! Loving the tennis - sad that it will soon be over... Next week will bring more granddog sitting - expecting two to arrive on Wednesday - they will stay until Friday morning and will then be replaced by eldest son's sprocker on Friday afternoon she will be with us for a fortnight - whoop! Hope that the weekend is kind to all x
-
We have rain (!) lots and lots of glorious rain - whoop!
-
Nothing here at all Eldest son is in London for the weekend - he reported earlier that it was 'tipping down' up there - which I already knew as it was a case of 'rain stops play' at Wimbledon...
-
I did the same - looks absolutely wonderful - enjoy young Froglet! The humidity here today is ridiculous - we need a storm - don't think we are under the warning for storms it just misses us...
-
Noooooo - I am shocked and horrified - how did you deal with that - I would have been extremely cross
-
Good morning - tis Friday! End of term/school year is just around the corner! Granddogs went home yesterday - felt very odd getting up this morning without them here but they will soon be back again - yay! I am thoroughly enjoying Wimbledon. Hope the weekend is kind to all x
-
Well I hope that your 'plan for tomorrow' includes some downtime? 'scuse me I put a list of reading suggestions on your thread...
-
I recovered my 'oomph' and have actually been quite busy - most of my 'busyness' has revolved around the granddogs! Mainly clearing up after them! 🤦♀️ Emails answered Had a lovely gossip with our postie - she knows everything!🤣 Sainsbos has delivered my shopping - all put away - excellent! Washing through and out on the line. Lots of deadheading completed Polytunnel tomatoes watered... Must be lunchtime now!
-
Oops - missed this - sorry fm - no idea my lovely - long retired - hopefully someone can help
-
Oh my life Mousie - you poor thing - 'deleting the woolly' I remember that so well - sure there were times when I just thought 'why didn't I just write them all myself in the first place' 🤦♀️ Added to that was the thought 'is anyone actually going to read and act upon these'...
-
Okay - hands up - who has got my 'oomph'? It's 10:30 and virtually nothing done 🤦♀️
-
Oh goodness zigzag, that is so very sad, poor little love and poor family 💔 what a shock for you too
-
Good morning - 'tis Friday Reading the above posts reminds me how precious weekends are when working... Nothing exciting to report from here - the two granddogs continue to be an absolute joy - we were due to have an extra one for the weekend but she is now going to her maternal granny - probably the best idea, think/know it would have been chaos with her added into the mix 😂 Lots of rain yesterday great for the garden - chilly too, I was in jeans, cardi, socks - our weather is certainly interesting! Hoping for a good and restful weekend for all x
-
Right young Froglet - here are my recommendations for you! The Light Between Oceans - ML Stedman Thursdays in the park - Hilary Boyd The keeper of Lost Things - Ruth Hogan The little Girl in the Radiator - Martin Slevin Still Alice - Lisa Genara A Slight Change of Plan - Dee Ernst The Black Dress - Deborah Maggoch The Cuckoo Sister - Alisson Stockha The Midnight Library - Matt Haig Elizabeth is Missing - Emma Healey
-
'their child didn't like the timer' - give me strength 🤦♀️
-
Blimey - all sounds like a flippin' nightmare to me That's not any help at all - sorry - just sending some empathy
-
I think Elton's set gave me one of those 'I won't forget this' moments - sitting comfortably with my sofa seat reclined, Mr S pretending to be engrossed in a film on his ipad (he had said earlier that he wasn't much interested) - he was watching/listening and enjoying 🤣 the sun was setting on a very hot day and the two granddogs were sharing a space (quietly) right next to me...the only thing that I just can't understand is - why did he not ask me to sing 'Don't Go Breaking my Heart' with him? 🤷♀️ All family know that 'Don't Let the Sun go Down' is my 'funeral song' - I want the Elton and George Michael version - however it is very long so it might have to be at the end for people to leave to...(I do like to plan ahead!) Lewis Capaldi - I was in tears - incredible young man and the crowd were amazing - how must it feel to have 100,000 people singing your words when you just can't anymore ❤️❤️❤️
-
Looks lovely Cait Cooler but still lovely here this morning - phew! Did anyone watch Elton last night - wow! Lewis Capaldi 💔
-
No regrets young Froglet x
-
😂 No - they do have one at home - I don't want a wet Golden retriever thank you! 🤦♀️ They have plenty of 'shady areas' to get into and doors open for them to come inside whenever they want - all good, just not the weather for rushing about!
-
Oh my actual goodness - it is hot, hot, hot here! Ridiculous dogs have just been having a 'loon' around the garden - "stop, it's far too hot for that" - just fell on deaf dog ears 🤦♀️
