I have said before how much computers anoy me and they’ve been at it again today! I wanted to do two things, make some signs for my stalls and advertise the whole gite for Christmas and New Year holidays. I have not managed to achieve either of those things. Initially I found emails asking meContinue reading “Testing technology!”

Last night having finished a number of projects, I thought I would just quietly watch television. After a very short period of time I found that my hands were practically itching. I had to start another project. So given that I wanted to do a small Which Way filet throw I decided to start thatContinue reading “Am I obsessed?”

According to Meatloaf, ‘two out of three ain’t bad’. Unfortunately my success rate wasn’t that high. However I later discovered that all was not lost. I went to collect my 3 balls of yarn on Saturday morning. There had clearly been some miscommunication, and I don’t think the language barrier was to blame! So oneContinue reading “One out of three?”

This morning I had a message to say that my yarn had arrived. I was beginning to to lose hope. I knew I wouldn’t be able to collect it today but at least it will be there tomorrow. I look forward to being able to finish the shawl. This morning whilst I was walking theContinue reading “At last…”

Today has whizzed past. I have done a great deal of diffent things. And now it’s late and I haven’t had time to write anything. One of the things that happened today was that I met and had a conversation with a local author. I do want to write a book on mindfulness and creativity.Continue reading “Short and sweet”

With it being less than two weeks until the first Christmas market I am trying to start to get organised. I had lost my Fromthesheshed labels however one box has now come to light. Two more to find! I need to find the labels that show I take cards, the joys of living in aContinue reading “Getting organised”

No it’s not a Christmas list but I may talk about that a little later. Firstly I need to apologise for a blog without photos last night. The technology got the better of me and I failed to load them. I will include some of them today. Moving to another country will always have itsContinue reading “This is a list…”

Wherever you are in the world you cannot have failed to hear about COP26 (Conference of the Parties) that took place in Glasgow over the last two weeks. It would seem that the participants are again walking away having failed to secure an agreement that secures the planet’s future. In some respects it would seemContinue reading “Changing perspectives”

Sometimes I think I sound like Ronnie Barker during the closing scenes of Open All Hours. It’s been a funny sort of week! And this one has been. As you will be aware I had a yarn shortage. It should have been resolved today. However the shop does not appear to be answering the phone,Continue reading “Time for a weekend”

Last night I went to the Christmas tree meeting. Like all village hall meetings nothing went quite according to plan. It’s funny you can change the country and the language but the behaviour remains the same! I arrived at about 5 minutes before the allotted hour to be told that whilst I was there atContinue reading “A few too many…”
