I have no idea of the weather but I'm going to stay in and have a snuggly PJ day so it really doesn't matter (to me, I mean).
Yesterday started with a trip to M&S for veg and a few other bits and bobs and then across the car park to Aldi for other bits and bobs. Just a tip - M&S butter is really great value at the moment - £1.65 (I think that's what it was). I don't use butter all that much nowadays but, with Christmas coming up, I got three packs which are now in the freezer.
I finished the C2C hottie cover and, despite some obvious 'iffy' bits, I'm rather pleased with it. At least it fits which is more than you can say for my first effort!
It's a really nice stitch, the C2C thing and I really like the effect you get from a self striping yarn. None of the patterning was organised in the slightest, it's just how it came out.
Thanks to Eileen for letting me know where the accessibility problems are with the background picture. I never use my phone so had no idea that the white background doesn't happen on mobiles. Later on today, I will have another look and see if I can tone the photo down a bit. If that doesn't help, I'll have to think again - presumably, the 'water' photo I had before didn't cause such problems.
I did enjoy Strictly yesterday although I think they are currently marking much too high (not that I'm any kind of expert) and are going to have to tighten up soon. The dancing is very good though.
I know who I think should go but you never can tell! Do you watch it?
(no spoilers for a couple of days but after that . . .)

Today, as I said above, is going to be a snuggly, gentle, restful, stay in my PJs sort of day. I have dug out the Covonia from the cupboard and have honey and lemon to hand. I'm feeling a bit miserable so am reminding myself of how lucky I am to have a cosy, safe, warm home with comfortable chairs, enough medication, books, magazines, telly to watch and friends to call on if I do need anything. That cheers me up no end.
It's definitely just a cold and, maybe, getting it over good and early will mean a heathy winter to come.
Have a super Sunday, everyone. Take care, stay well and be happy. xx
Could you ring Beth to cheer you up?
ReplyDeleteMaybe I'll see if she's around for an online chat this afternoon. Good idea, thanks. xx
DeleteA snuggly restful pj day will do you the world of good and soon have you feeling right as rain. The hot water bottle cover really is pretty and it's nice making things that you'll be able to put to good use. Get well soon. x
ReplyDeleteThanks very much, Cherie. I'm already feeling more myself again which is nice. xx
DeleteSorry you're feeling a bit down today but a pj day sounds just the ticket. When a friend of mine is feeling a bit mis she just watches a soppy Christmas film, apparently there is a special channel that shows nothing else.
ReplyDeleteYour hot water bottle cover has worked out really well and looks so pretty. Good thinking Batman!!
I must hunt for that channel - I like Christmas films. :-)
DeleteThanks, Annabeth. xx
your hottie looks lovely - such a lovely colour . Sorry you're still not feeling 'tickety boo' . Think you definitely need some cheering up as well as some tlc Hope you feel better soon
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jane. Definitely feeling better this morning, thank you. xx
DeleteAgree completely about the overly high scoring on Strictly - there are some good dancers this year but OH and I are uneasy about the direction the show has taken the last few seasons - too much gushing and personal stuff, less about dancing -
ReplyDeleteHaving said that , there's not much else on Saturday evenings so we still watch!
Your hot water bottle cover is great

Yes, I agree, but a lot of people seem to like the personal stuff, I guess. Like you, I'd prefer to see more of the dancing. xx
DeleteHot water bottle cover is lovely and looks very neatly finished to me! I watched all of Strictly last night but was confused by some of the high scores. Back to recording and fast forwarding the part in the Claudiatorium next week I think. I managed to knit two cotton cloths during Strictly so at least it wasn’t a complete waste of time. Catriona
ReplyDeleteI don't mind that so much but quite often the pre-dance stuff is silly. I'd like to see more practise info, I think.
DeleteWell done on the dishcloths!
xx
I love your hottie cover ... very pretty. I hope your PJ day and a bit of special pampering helps you feel better xx
ReplyDeleteIt did, thanks, Eileen. I'm feeling better this morning (Monday).
DeleteGreat hottie cover. I usually just wrap mine in a towel but having something pretty would cheer me up no end when I am sick and need to use it.
ReplyDeleteHope your pj day went well.
God bless.
Once I'd sorted out the sizing, it was quite easy to make really and I do like that C2C stitch. Now I am wondering what else I could make with it. xx
DeleteHope you feel better soon! The cover looks really nice. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sharon. I rather like it myself. xx
