Eyes that can open oysters
Well this is the good news. The bad news is Duo has reset my maths progress (again) so I’m back at like 2+6=?

Duolingo’s new energy system has made me angrier than literally anything else, ever. Never liked that stupid owl anyway, it can do one 😤

Why I’m still on week 4 of the #crochet along that should have finished three weeks ago, reason 514: the cat on yarn situation

Made my first ever 3D granny square today, AND I made it using only the written pattern without having to consult a video tutorial. Yay! #crochet 🧶

Construction site opposite. Today they’ve managed to beach one of the diggers. Come on lads, I play Farming Simulator more successfully than this 😂

I implore you to search for ‘Vermont’ on here and spend a few minutes scrolling. Truly it will warm the cockles of your heart

And don’t get me started on Vance. I’ve read enough dystopian literature to know exactly what he is

What’s on my needles? Well since you asked: it’s the results of the UK 2024 general election in scarf form. Why wouldn’t it be? Cross that off on your bingo card. Nearly finished now, just 19 seats still to declare!

Can anyone help with crochet 🧶 advice please? Following a granny square blanket pattern. The squares should be 11cm but mine are coming out at 13cm. To tighten my tension is it just a case of gripping the yarn more tightly? Any tips for tightening up greatly appreciated 🙏

The internet’s favourite knitted scarf, the weather scarf. This one from 2021. I love it but it weighs an absolute tonne and makes my neck ache!

Treated myself to some posh yarn for being a Big Brave Girl at the dentist the other day. Plan is to #crochet pot covers so my houseplants can all match. Never adapted a pattern to fit what I need before, so wish me luck 🧶

Been up t’hill to cheer on the #spinerace athletes. As if the race isn’t challenging enough, visibility was like this

That time of year again! Will be heading up onto the moors tomorrow to cheer the athletes on. Last year was cold, this year there’s knee-high snow up there. Amazing stuff
The Arctic conditions have obviously made it tough going for our runners, but it’s a photographer’s playground up on the Pennine Way.

As the team thaw out their boots and de-ice their cameras, here’s a selection of photos captured throughout day 1 of the Montane Winter Spine Races 2025.

Not keen on how social media gives the impression that everyone's Christmas is picture perfect. Not everyone has idyllic festive family cosiness and matching pyjamas! Some of us are carrying out winter sacrifices and sprinkling people with blood using twigs to ensure bountiful harvests and fertility

Is the Duolingo owl this pass agg with everyone? I’ve always felt like he’s got it in for me personally

Got mine already! I love these calendars, we always pick out our favourite cat each month (it’s usually all of them) 😬
Boz here is working hard getting our 2025 calendars out! These calenders nearly didn't happen this year so we're thrilled to be getting them out 😻

If you'd like one you can order here, with each one directly supporting our cats and kittens 💚
