I'm very pleased with this design, it's growing and looking good, all the unpicking is done. Having not stitched for a while I now have a sore finger, a couple days break will give me time to heal.
Another new author to me and a very good plot, the story throws you around, so many moments which leave you wondering what is going on. I enjoyed every word, it was very clever. Book 22 read this year.
Lilly is now coming out into the garden with us, she started scratching at the patio doors, she is scared of so much, for now we leave the kitchen door open, she can bolt back inside when she needs to, she is much braver inside looking out than outside.
The heavy rain on Wednesday kept us out of the garden, we sat and watched the birds hopping around after bugs and worms, Lilly sits and watches the garden for hours. Now back to sunny, cold blue skies, it does make me much happier, it feels like spring, but it not, March can be a terrible month for weather, a nice start to the month can often bring back cold weather at the end, as the saying goes, 'in like a lamb, out like a lion'.
Molly came to play on Friday, mum spent hours in garage having her windscreen replacement fitted, she was so good, we went to our local bistro for a drink and cake. Later she played in the garden with Lilly, they both happily ran around together.
I am concerned for our world, the idiot in the white house is out of control, you can't run a country like a business or a playground party, bullies do stick together, make their own narrative, it's going to be a scary world for the next four years. Politics and religion are not my normal subjects here, I do feel for the good people of USA, we do understand he is not serving in your name.
You are right, we like to keep our blogs positive with happy and hopefully inspiring posts but we do need to speak up against bullies especially such obvious and dangerous ones. Trump cannot even admit that Russia invaded Ukraine and his unbalanced opinions put us all at risk.

Lilly has grown so much. What a joy she is.
ReplyDeleteTrump has never been a successful businessman so goodness knows why he thinks he can run the USA.
Couldn't believe the events of Friday and the mean ganging up on a man who, under extremely difficult circumstances, is trying to do the best for his country and people.
ReplyDeleteI am beyond grateful that all of Europe seems to be supporting Ukraine and I think it is important for you all to know, that there are millions of Americans who feel the same way. He Who Shall Not Be Named is a profound embarrassment to us. Please do not think we are all supporting him. I am terrified with all that our government is doing.
ReplyDeleteThank you for not believing all Americans approve of our leader and his sycophants. Thank you for writing your blog. I enjoy it so much.
ReplyDeleteWhat bothers me is how no one will challenge him. Now even the Ukrainian President is kind of knuckling under. I want to scream not to trust him. Lilly looks very contented out in the garden.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Sadly he was not given chance to speak and would not shout over the other two thugs.
DeleteLove seeing the kitty pictures. She is a sweetie. I'd love, love, love to have a cat, but developed an allergy to them after our two passed long ago. Your cross stitch piece is intriguing. I've sort of given up on cross-stitch, as the work is too fine for these aging eyes!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you so much.
ReplyDeleteLily will love being outside once the weather gets warmer. I believe the saying is 'In like a Lion out like a lamb' but yes, the weather can be very unpredictable in March, I remember freezing temperatures some years and heatwaves others. It's been nice to have some dry weather for a few days.
ReplyDeleteMy mum said the saying both ways,
DeleteSweet pictures of Lily.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Glad the stitching is coming along nicely now and hope the sore fingers don't last long.
ReplyDeleteI hope Lily enjoys the sunshine this week as well as you, Marlene.
