More stress at the end of the week - Thurs might feeling the worst. I needed to put cheques in the bank and do a bit of money juggling, and was considering calling Helen to say I couldn't go to the Kelham Island Xmas market on Sat. Just didn't want to go out, or have to cope with anything ( Read more... )

I called on my next door neighbours this afternoon. Kate is expecting their third child, next month, so I knitted them a baby blanket. I used (part of) one of the vast, rugby ball sized balls of Aran yarn I was given by Sarah M when she had to quit knitting. I've had them for years, and it's nice to find a use for some of it, and to reduce the ( Read more... )

So instead it was arranged for me to have a car through a rental firm. I had to pay a refundable deposit, which has eaten a chunk out of my available cash and rather limits where ( Read more... )

Been busyish over the weekend. Went shopping with Gary on Thursday. I was thinking that it was a long time since I'd have duck, and maybe I should treat myself. Well, Tesco's had crown of duck reduced by a quid to £5 so I treated myself.and invited Gary over to share it on Friday.  We had roast duck with new potatoes and roast carrot and parsnip - ( Read more... )
