Hi, Rusty!
We didn't play a game in the end.....the boys like Monopoly, but it is far too long a game for that time of night!
Tomorrow maybe.....
The boys - and our daughter - are now all in bed.
Our poor daughter has had a fearful headache, but she seems to be improving .... a good night's sleep should help.
Knitting? I don't knit, Rusty!
I once made a sloppy joe.... a good job that it was meant to be " a long, loose-fitting sweater." !
I need to make plans for tomorrow.......I wonder what the boys would like to do?
( Their shopping escapade with their grandfather must have nearly emptied the shop! )
Time for a coffee, I think.

Elle is right! Just having a bit of fun! We were on the same wavelength,
but Rusty, if you think I should knit for the birds, just let me know!
Just need to know how many he and she chicks for the colours!

Seriously, since I am incapable of watching TV and do nothing with
my hands, I used to knit a lot and made jumpers for just about all the family, including newly born babies.
And I also enjoyed making my own clothes, making my own patterns
and following the fashion but adapting it to suit my mood!
Now, I just knit shawls and small throw overs for the bed.

Elle, I hope your daughter is going to get rid of this headache
quick, so as not to spoil her stay with you. Are you expecting
reasonable weather during their stay?

Hello, Elle!
When I was a boy we called tee shirts "sloppy joes".
But most folk think they are sweaters.
Wonder why "sloppy joes"?
Sounds American?
Hope your daughter is fine tomorrow.
Will she overhaul your computer, perhaps?
And you don't knit? Me, too!
I am sure you will think of something to do tomorrow!

Hello, Pigale!
I have drawer full of unworn socks that I could donate to the ospreys!
You seem to be very skilful with your knitting and clothesmaking.
I am impressed!
Any more "scandal at the loch" today, I wonder?
Lassie is not at home last time I looked in.

Hello Rusty!

Have just had a look and she is not there - yet she was on the
nest last night just before I switched off the computer.
Perhaps she feels more secure if no upset happened today?
I was out for a while, and all was quiet whenever I looked in.

But still no eggs though - all the upset of the last few days must
have delayed her laying the first egg!

Hello, Pigale!
I think she stayed on the nest all last night, but no sign of her tonight.
Things seemed to be back to normal today.
Yes, I wonder when the first egg will arrive!

Good morning, Rusty!
A very wet start to the day!
But it is supposed to stop raining soon.......
We are heading out very shortly.......no fixed destination at the moment (still under discussion).......other than lunch at the Toby Carvery, by special request from the boys.
What has happened about your hoped for trip to see the floating crane?
Have you arranged anything ?
We should be back about teatime.....

Good morning, Elle!
It is a cold wind blowing here under a grey sky.
Miss O and me are heading into town tomorrow morn.
We do not know if the crane is still here, though.
Hope your day goes well!

Hi, Rusty!
We are home again!
We have had a lovely time.
First an outing to the park...... then lunch at the Toby Carvery.
I think a game is next on the agenda!
A trip up to town tomorrow with Miss O to see the crane sounds great.. I hope it will still be there!
I've not had time...so far...to do any crosswords!

Hello, Elle!
You are having a good day!
I am not sure if the crane has sailed or not, but we are heading into town anyway.
The port area is quite extensive so not sure how close we may get to see it.
My puzzle is complete.
No new words for me today, though I had only vaguely heard of 1d.
New blog up at the loch.

Fine boots the girls have!
