COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

Good afternoon all. We're all completely stuffed here. Lovely 3 course pub lunch and long catch up with sister and niece. Nephew is working as a sous chef in Chamonix for the ski season.

Sounds great.
I always associate sous chefs with being murdered or being the murderer in detective novels.
Don't know why.

I'm okay, just the sudden sensual overload.
Off to the larder now.

Hi, CDR peeps!
I'm VERY excited about the shawl I am making. I enjoy crocheting and have been working on this, intermittently, since April. It's the most challenging thing I've made yet. It's not really difficult, it's just fiddly: the yarn is just a 2ply, the hook is 3.5 mm, and counting accurately is a MUST! You first make long strips which you then attach. I've finally got all the strips made and have fewer than half left to attach. Then just several rows of single crochet (double crochet, in UK terminology) for the neck, and I'm DONE!!!!!! It's going to be beautiful!!!!!

It looks like it would take far more patience than I have, Bea.

I'm gonna look for more eggs today because I plan on putting new mulch down in most of the enclosure this afternoon.
(If the back lets me)

Looks most splendid.
I learned to crochet from my gran, and how to knit, too.
I still have my knitting needles and crochet hooks, but have forgotten how to do it, long ago.

I got eggs for wifey yesterday.
6 of 'em.
Should keep her happy for a while.

Oh dear. You still look a bit peely wally. (A hat tip to John.) Not that I can see in the dark, of course.

Gorgeous colors, Bea!

Should keep you really warm this winter. Which must be really handy in Louisiana

I'm retreating to a corner to cut daughter's blue-tack out of my hair (she was that bored today, after a week of no school)
Won't see you tomorrow, roommates. Wish me luck postcard-hunting.
