It’s weird not going out at all during a day (apart from a trip down to the summerhouse for zoom fitness) but I have filled another shredder bag with paperwork (2003 tax returns etc...forced myself to bin them!) so something has been achieved. I’ve also just been distracted from the coronavirus briefing by finding a mistake in the border of the blanket I’ve been making. The good thing about crochet is you can correct mistakes (tbf if you look v carefully you know) because it’s taking me a whole evening to get round the border each time.
Weather: bland
Covid: desperate, especially in London. Vaccination ramping up. European rugby scuppered.
Good things: ‘Nursem’, which is a soap/moisturiser formulator/supplier heavily supported by Adam’s employers, has supplied products to hundreds of thousands of nurses for free this year. They send a month’s supply for every item ordered & you can nominate an individual or ward.
I look at this Judith & love it so much that I wonder why I can’t make beautiful things like you do. It could inspire me to learn to crochet I suppose, perhaps it could be a challenge for 2021 but I know I will start & not finish it!
Good for Nursem ..a very public spirited company!
A familiar TV screen we have grown used to here! certainly sums up your day! Love it!
Eve having to return to London tomorrow as she can’t progress to year 5 until she has achieved certain practical skills. Personally I can’t see why they don’t delay practical sessions whilst London is critical. Anyway FAV
Lovely jewel tones. My daughter taught herself to knit during the pandemic. Not wanting to have odds and ends left, she used a whole skein to make me a fabulous seven foot scarf. It is warm and cozy but I am afraid of strangling myself!
Gorgeous needlework! I'm forever stuck in Knitting 101. But there's always a need for scarves, however basic and monotone, at the soup kitchen.
Spikes in Covid cases are outpacing our NC vaccination program. While the vaccine is slowly being made available to older and at risk citizens, North Carolina has had to open it's first Covid 30-bed field hospital to deal with an overwhelmed health care system in the western mountain counties.
@peggysirk it really is running away from us. You don’t want our new strain - that seems to be evading the usual precautions which is making us all very nervous. I can imagine your scarves are very popular not least because they are made with love. I was given a handmade one for my birthday and (probably because I know the effort involved) it made me cry! Mind you November was an emotional month #dog.
