First attempt. It was supposed to be an owl but I couldn't get the face right, so it's a cat. DK baby yarn from WYS. Am experimenting with different techniques and longer bodies, and different ways of making the ears look like, well, like ears. I have a plan. #crochet #backlooponly #amigurumi

My dad used to wear a thing just like that to stop his nose being sunburnt. Despite the nose job he'd had.

This is how Boots.com sent my order of Gaviscon. No protective wrapping, no bubble wrap, no paper wrapping, just the bottles in the box. So this is how they arrived. I'm furious. I've sent them photos and asked for a full refund. Wrapped it all up in bubble wrap and put it in the dustbin.
