Jesus, I wish these bots would leave me the feck alone. Offering to show me pictures of their cat. I have one of my own thanks, I can look at that, but to be honest, I'm more of a dog person. 🙃
And you lot that can't be bothered to write a bio, you can do one as well.

When I started stitching this, I started dead centre. I had a moment tonight where I thought I was going to run out of fabric at the top. Phew!
Getting close to the finish line now. 🚗🩷🪡

Today will be spent getting used to my new hearing aids. I'm still at the put-them-in/take-them-out practice stage. I have managed to connect them to Bluetooth on my phone, so that's a plus. 🙂

Got myself a new notebook, so that I can keep track of all of my cross stitch projects. It's the little things that keep me sane. 📓🪡

I'm taking a wee break from social media for the sake of my mental health. I've seen some vile things today, mainly on Sissy SpaceX's platform, and I had a moment where I wished I was blind rather than deaf.
I will be back, I just need a few days of quietly cross stitching and reading.

As if it's not bad enough that Grøk is being used to remove clothing from pictures of young women and children, some sick f**k posted a photo of that poor woman's body, in her car, and asked Grøk to put a bikini on her. There is a special place in hell for that b***ard.
