Yawn Yawn Wakey Wakey 2024

I came across another of those knitted toppers today, in the village.

 

Another great picture @RowlandsCastle. I'm bidding an early good night tonight as I'm off quizzing again. I'll catch up with all your news tomorrow.

​

 

Afternoon folks, not done much all day as right hand is still bothering me. It's also quite chilly out there, grey and dismal again. My daughter's just texted to say she's in bed with covid or flu and feeling dreadful so probably won't be fit enough to drive up and stay at the weekend which is a shame.

Pleased to hear that you are recovering well @Goldenlily and that Rob is also better.

Hope everyone who's also suffering gets better soon.

 

Evening folks.

Today is my ‘Sunday’ so chicken dinner is being prepped.

Hope anyone’s worries, germs or pains disappear.

A wonderful post box knit there @RowlandsCastle

 

I had my first meeting today with the Ukrainian lady I've agreed to help. She is lovely. We communicated by Google translate. We have a shared interest in gardening and dogs. I know the situation back at home is very sad for her. She is coming to our house next Monday for a 'dog fix' and another 'chat'. Having tried to learn Ukrainian 2 years ago, I can understand the linguistic challenges she faces. Her hosts are also very kind people; she stayed with them 2 years ago, but returned home to nurse family. Now she's back here, she's missed much of the college programme. Not sure I can really help, but I will try.

 

It's a good thing to do @Penny_Forthem so I hope it works out.

Lovely photo @RowlandsCastle. I shall send it to the knitters at the club. As far as I can tell there is little observance of Armistice here in the Vendée, despite having a day off to remember it.

I hope you can get to see a neurologist @lizzie27. Not good to have continuing problems with your hand.

@Goldenlily26 It's good that Rob take shis meds easily. Our pair would take any meds I crushed up and mixed into a small tin of cat food. Left whole or just broken and Rasta would lick round it or spit it out.

Busy day for me with a committee meeting this morning. That went well except my pal the treasurer now says she'll end this academic year and not go on to do the next 3 years from next September when we all renew our mandates. Given our secretary is likely to go and one other lady is leaving the committee that leaves us needing 3 replacements including 2 willing to take on big jobs. I shall have to go fishing amongst the new ladies......

This pm was a Swiss embroidery workshop for some of us - embroidery on Vichy/gingham fabric. Very soothing to do.

Microsoft tells me someone's been messing with my email account to hack it so we've changed my password. OH looked up the history of today's activity and there are several attempts to hack me - from Russia! Ha!

 

Good morning to everyone!

Dismal and grey automnale weather today. I have the 2-month follow up with the surgeon today. I am feeling good - some stiffness which is to be expected otherwise, in fine fettle!!

Hats off to you @Penny_Forthem What do you have to do to help this lady? English lessons, driving her to potential interviews? @lizzie27 and @redstar I hope your hands are better. Such a handicap. @Obelix-Vendée I used to do Swiss embroidery (amongst other hand crafts) and I really like it. Makes good Christmas presents - tray cloth etc. So there we are!! @Goldenlily26 Rob is bouncing back - they stress us out, then give us so much pleasure, don't they? It helps to have a sympathetic vet too. You must be full of general knowledge @Ladybird4 Maybe participate in Who Wants to be a Millionaire!!!



May your day be a pleasant one in spite of the weather.
