Today is another Christmas market. This one is open until 10pm. So I won’t be writing afterwards. Hence this will be a short post. I will be sitting finishing the final pair of slippers whilst I am here. The first two pairs are finished and are under going the blocking process in order to beContinue reading “Les Puces and Pere Noel”

At the moment my days are about trying to complete orders for Christmas. I have to also attend appointments and consider the Gite. I have created an advert for Christmas and the New Year for those who are interested in the whole building. Someone is currently interested for New Year. Today began with a medicalContinue reading “Shark soup!”

Weavers, spinners and dyers, a crochet Christmas tree, and a Christmas market. I am not certain how we fitted everything in this weekend. In the next day or two I shall have a break! I have decided that I will do the market on Wednesday evening but the other one I am going to leave.Continue reading “What a weekend!”

Yet another week has whizzed past. This morning we went off to collect something I found on market place. Unfortunately it wasn’t what my husband thought it was so it turned out to be a bit of a wasted journey. We used the excuse to go and have a coffee. One of reasons to liveContinue reading “All about the yarn!”

Yesterday the cats went out all day and didn’t come in until late. Interestingly Mabel was very unsettled. Eventually we let her go and look for them. Incredibly they appeared as soon as she started looking for them. Obviously they like her! This morning was market in Huelgoat. From there I picked up my husbandContinue reading “3rd dose, 2 slippers, 1 thumb”

When I cook in my instapot I often seem to get the quantities wrong. So now it’s beginning to look like The magic porridge pot with an endless supply, on this occasion, of curry. I’m not quite sure how my other half feels about this but it’s curry for dinner again tonight. When I madeContinue reading “The magic porridge pot!”

It was a very early start this morning. I had a hospital appointment in Morlaix at 9am. So I was up and at it at a time when I would have been when I was working full time. A bit of a shock to the system. I have had problems with my left foot forContinue reading “And make it snappy!”

Latibulate: 17th century, to hide in a corner until the situation improves. I was introduced to this word over the weekend. I think though that if that is what we had all done as the pandemic approached we would all still be there two years on. So whilst there are times when to latibulate wouldContinue reading “Hiding in corners…”

I know it’s silly really but I do tend to get nervous before markets. I suppose its a combination of putting myself out there and having to speak French. Hence today I am feeling a little apprehensive about tomorrow. The Christmas tree hat that I started yesterday is almost finished. I shall add some baublesContinue reading “Nerves!”

I have spent much of today running behind. I set an alarm but thought I’d treat myself to a chapter or two. I haven’t found a book in a long time that has had me so gripped. It’s a psychological thriller and it’s working! With everything running so late it was a very quick rushContinue reading “The right size!”
