Friday Chat Day

 Hello friends

Happy Friday, let's see if this week my blog post goes to plan!

For early birds last week (and thank you to Michele for messaging me)
you will have seen the bare bones of my blog post - just pics and notes.
It was a little insight into how I write the Friday post. 

As my week ticks along I upload photos and notes otherwise I sit down the day before 

to write and I just cannot remember what I've done! 

Pretty easy to remember my week this week - 

it's been work, work with a topping of...work!

I'm not complaining as this current full time lark is paid overtime - 

it may pay for some long overdue renovations to the VT. 

Crochet:

It's finished!

The Spiced Biscuits Blanket that I was pattern testing.

It had to be done by this Sunday so there was some speedy crochet. 

There is the option to make the border narrower - I was grateful for that.

The final border round was berry stitch - little bobbles, I like those.

If you follow me on Instagram I went a bit made with photos there.

I will be putting this one up for sale in my Folksy shop shortly.

My mission now is to complete all my WIPs - honest I really am!

I've written them down and there is five blankets partially started.

I MUST NOT start anything new until they are done.

I will then be able to work through my yarn collection...

Garden:

I have a sickly palm!

Any advice greatly appreciated.

I'm wondering if it doesn't like being in a pot?

Sweet Peas are sprouting - not sure if that's the correct terminology.

My Montana Clematis showing off.

The flowers are opening daily.

I like the bench but still wish I had my old wicker chair,

that  seemed more nature friendly.

Telly:

BBC1 - Line of Duty

The twists of turns of a specialised Police Anti-Corruption Unit.

I am SO late to the party with this one.

I have watched all the previous seasons but I was waiting until 

all episodes of season 6 was available so I could binge.

At the points when I'm supposed to be gripped by intrigue

I'm looking at the TV screen and thinking...

I'm not sure a beard suits Steve Arnott! 

Saying that, it is a telly show that doesn't disappoint,

I did find myself having to Google previous episodes just so I 

could place names. I've just got one more episode to go 

and amazingly I've managed to avoid spoilers on social media.

(Karenlotty - I'll let you know what I think of the ending).

Other stuff:

Pleased to report Elliott is well again after feeling poorly from his

second vaccination.  Mitchell has been in training for his new job,

there appears to be quite a bit of downtime between calls,

the man who is training him paints Warhammer figures and does cross-stitch! 

I may get Mitchell crocheting yet.

My Mum has just undergone some eye treatment, lasering,

she also has lots of other appointments to deal with.

She is still quite frail but managing to potter in her garden and 

plant up seedlings in her greenhouse. 

Littlelamb - pleased to hear you are out of hospital and hope you are recovering

well at your son's home.

And that's my week - apologies again no recipe,

we are freezer foragers at the moment!

This weekend I think a roast dinner might be on the menu with Elliott visiting.  

I'm deliberating whether to pop to the garden centre,

I need some large pots to go with the other dozen or so large pots I have,

I fear it is a little like buying yarn!

Take care friends, wishing you a lovely weekend.
