My grandson solemnly informed me that my "great-granchild" was really just his sister's doll. I think he was worried I'd be upset 😥

Here's our resident squirrel checking to see if my Grandson had any nuts for them

We're taking part, but will our birds?
The last few years they've all waited round the corner for an hour! 😅

I agree Stephanie, my daughter & her family are trying to make the leap from starter flat. As second time buyers there is no Government Scheme to help & stamp duty is a huge expense for them.
Increase in house prices just makes it all harder.

We've a handsome little chap in our garden. He's also an absolute thug & zooms around like a seek & destroy missile as the other birds try to eat from "his" feeders

Our local pub used to be a warm & friendly place to meet with friends & neighbours. Covid changed our habits & to entice people in the pub now shows a lot of football matches.
We do still go occasionally at lunch times, but avoid the evenings.

Any tips on how to stop the work curling? I've read books & watched videos on technique but I still get a terrible curl 😟

I'm lucky enough to tick 3 of those.
Not the puffin though, now I need to see a puffin!
Happy New Year & good luck on your quest 👀

Oh that's impressive!
I thought I was doing well with 97.5

Happy New Year x

Many thanks for this Lae, very helpful x

Thanks Lae, I went with a standard cast off, but made the neck a little wider. Hopefully it'll be good for him

These are beautiful! How do you manage all the yarn ball? I have enough trouble when doing one at a time.
You have my admiration x

The press release page on the website is very good, but pretty well hidden.

I get The Labour Rosette email, but reads like election campaign material rather than a newsletter to supporters.
I'm not criticising what the government are achieving, just think they need to be blowing their own trumpet a bit louder.

Perhaps they could start with their supporters? I'm on the Labour mailing list & the emails I get are mostly asking for donations; there is very little content telling me what they have achieved.

Ooo! That's lovely.
I've not come across that pattern before, but have downloaded from Ravelry. Thank you x

Check your wi-fi calling is still enabled, I lost mine following a security update in the summer (samsung s20fe I think)

They're beautiful 😍
I love knee high socks x
