What a day today. Library this morning, then off to Sainsburys to meet an old friend. Steve used to volunteer with us at Cuerden Valley Park clearing Rhododendren bushes out and burning them as they were taking over the Park. We also had little allotments in the walled garden. Talking today it must be over 18 years ago as he has a son who is now 17. We were all good friends of Elspeth who was the Ranger of the park then.
After that we went to the office to take some presents, then shopping, then home to make tea and wrapping some more presents, baking my fruit cake and some sponge cakes for a trifle.
This is the first time I have sat down today.
At the library I found a book called "cute creatures to knit and crochet". Looking at it tonight I have found a lovely pattern of a cat that I am going to knit for Sian. Last year her mum said she wanted a cat doorstop and I couldn't find one anywhere, plenty of dogs but no cats. So when I found a cat doorstop I bought it for this year. Unfortunately when I came to wrap it I read the label and it said that it wasn't suitable for anyone under 14 so that present is no go.
The picture of the cat is also ideal for todays prompt. I did take a picture of the sky this morning as it was pouring with rain and the sky was
Grey
Isn't it cute
I love this zebra on the front cover.
I am also not catching up with all your blogs but I will catch up after Wednesday.
That looks a great book. You will have lots of fun knitting them, hope you have a quieter day tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteDear Viv, thank you so much for the comment on my blog. I really have a lot of assignments.
