Has anyone any ideas why,suddenly...

I cannot add comments to peoples posts.I have done various replies recently and none have appeared.HELP

Catch up.

It has beenquite a pleasant day here in North Wales.We managed a walk this afternoon and I spotted these fungi.I looked them up when we got back and,I think, they are scarlet elf cup fungi and are quite scarce.We are only supposed to walk from home but as we live near the town centre there are are always lots of people around so we choose to drive a little way and do a walk,level,on a nature reserve.Very pleasant.
I have finished my granny square blanket just using oddments from my stash.I quite enjoyed doing it and it will go to a charity when they re open.No full balls were used just bits from my stash.

What I have been doing in lockdown.

I have just finished a pair of socks .I have no more sock wool so decided to buy some more as C said he could do with some new ones.I usually use Wool Warehouse who are brilliant but all I kept getting was "out of stock" over and over again.I wanted some red Aran wool.Again "out of stock".I tried other suppliers and got the same.I eventually found a limited supply at Laughing Hens.My initial thought was that in lockdown everyone was knitting socks! Then when it arrived today I found out it is made in Germany.So, is it a Brexit supply problem?And I still havnt found any red aran!
I have also been using up my stash crocheting granny squares.I have done more than sixty.Nowthe job of joining them together.This is the second blanket I have done during lockdown and they will go to a homeless/ refugee charity. Thankfully I suffered no reaction to my covid jab. We have had quite a bit of snow recently so I cant get out for a walk.I am just getting bigger and stiffer as the days go by. Roll on an end to all this.

I had my Covid vaccination last night.

Yesterday at 5.45 pm the phone went.OH answered it and it was the surgery saying could he go to a surgery 15 minutes away to have his jab.He has no spleen so is classed as vulnerable.C asked can my wife come too.?Yes ,but you have to come now .Tea was in the oven,we have lying snow and it was freezing but rapidly changed into something that we could expose our arms(good job as it was in a big open space with no privacy!)Anyway ,we got there in time,had our jabs,the Pfizer one and as we sat the required 15 minutes after and during that time they ran out!!! Phew.I said to the doctor who did mine that he must be exhausted.Absolutely not was his reply,exhilarated that they were getting on with it.It isn't effective for three weeks .We dont intend to change anything then.We shall stay home and take care but it has given us a boost that there is a bit of light at the end of this long tunnel. We both feel fine this morning.My arm is a bit sore but we have been told to possibly expect flu like symptoms. Hope you all get your jabs soon.

A good page Turner.

I need a new book to read but it needs to be a page turner.My reading mojo is sadly lacking. Recommendations ,please. Barbarax

Do any of you remember this game.

Someone writing a comment on The Weaver of Grass blog about a game from the past(but you can still buybit today).Happy Families.I can remember playing it with our children but more recently (before Covid) playing it with our granddaughters .They are 13 and 15 but still love Happy Families.Simple pleasures.Who needs electronic games!!!

It is my birthday today.

My birthday today and I have had a lovely day despite lockdown.I had lots of cards,phone calls,texts,flowers,presents etc.I had three lots of flowers,all delivered at different times from my OH,son and daughter. C had ordered an afternoon tea on line and we had that for lunch.The scones and clotted cream and jam were yummy,plus little flans,sausage rools,scotch eggs and cake!!!!A real treat. I ah said to our children no presents but they ignored my request and I had a pile of books,chocs ,dvd and this wonderfulbookmark which my daughter had drawn and painted.How lovely. Steak for supper tonight(but I am actually still quite full from lunch/afternoon tea. So, despite lockdown ,so far, I have had a lovely day and thankful for a wonderful family and friends. So much to be thankfulfor. Stay safe. Barbaraxxx
