I've caught up on the King Cole crochet along ๐Ÿ˜ I've just a few rows to do to finish the main blanket. Next week is the border and then it will be done ๐Ÿงถ I've loved doing this challenge.

Oh goodness, they are heavy! Can you put a mug of water in the microwave? You might need to pretend you are an American for a while ๐Ÿ˜† as I believe that is how they make tea ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ

I try to be around every day but I don't stick around. As i get stronger I will. When my shoulder was broken 17 years ago, it was my dominant side, like your injuries too I think, I was stunned by how many things were impossible. I remember trying to chop am onion, it flew across the kitchen ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—โคโค

@ginny65.bsky.social how are you doing? Sorry I've not been here much but for my sanity I'm still avoiding politics. Do you have more movement yet, how are you managing. I think about you every day, I still find it difficult to compute that someone I know went through that terrible experience ๐Ÿค—โค

Got a couple of swivel bar stools cheap and have just assembled them. This is the sort of thing he did, it always seemed complicated. It wasn't, took me 20 minutes and I feel like superwoman now ๐Ÿ˜

It's a pretty wilderness but I can't get to the fruit and the slugs and snails are traumatising me today so think I'll ignore it for another day, it's about to rain anyway ๐Ÿ™„

The muppet (abusive soon to be ex husband) has messaged to say he went to order from Aldi and went on a phishing site so has had to cancel all his cards! Last time we split he got ripped off a few hundred on ebay. You'd think he'd make the connection wouldn't you. Never happened when I was around

I've always had an aversion to mass adulation for some reason. I think it's because I don't like fanaticism, because every human has faults, and sadly those who are adored often feel condoned and indulge their bad behaviour.

It's so strange, everyone raved about him, but I looked at his profile and muted him as there was something just seemed wrong, quite possibly the adulation but who knows? Bloomin wish I had that insight when it comes to actual men in my life ๐Ÿ˜†
