Mr Socks has been missing for a whole week. I’m gutted, pretty sure he’s gone for good but got a little tiny bit of hope in my heart still. He was a very good boy 💔

A weekend of storms led to Christmas crafts to get ahead of the game. I usually start worrying about Xmas on 20 December so this is unusual to say the least. 🎄

Ordered curry sauce in a Dutch chippy. My hopes were not high but wtf is this? Tastes like HP with tandoori seasoning stirred in. It’s not offensive but it’s not curry sauce

Attempting to learn Tunisian crochet. It’s like starting again, like the last years of normal crochet counts for nothing. Hold and tension totally different and my hands already hurt. And I love it, it’s brilliant. Wish I’d started with this 🧶 #tunisiancrochet

‘Tis getting cold, it keeps raining, the leaves are getting brown so it’s time to get the soup pan on again! No turn of the season death colds for us this year.

I’ve started to make a jumper and I’m not feeling it. Should I put it down and start something else or keep on keeping on until I do like it/frog it in frustration? 🧶

I am planning a sweater but this is one of the first multicolour things I have made where the yarn isn't a colour changing one (so no decisions needed). I feel like I've forgotten anything vaguely related to colour theory. Does this all look ok? Brown main colour, others in stripes. 🧶

Had a day trip to Ephesus, it’s an incredible place. Over the last 8000 years it’s seen at least 5 civilisations and mentioned in Bible. Worth all your efforts to visit it.

I hate that someone graffitied the war memorial but also, they’re not wrong. Never Again is right now.

The start of a cardigan for my kid (who is not allowed to grow until it is finished and for a month or two afterwards) #wipwednesday 🧶

Love me a giant granny square. Best thing ever for a fast project when you just want to crochet something and not think about it or have to count. You just go. Yarn is Dream from Zeemam and pretty decent for the price. 🧶

Best thing is that everyone except the 3 parties involved in this simply do nothing. Anything else is absolute madness.

I’ve long held this theory that the US was always doomed based on its founding. Australia started at the bottom with criminals and low expectations, the only way was up. USA started with idealistic puritans and the only way was disappointment. And here we all are.
