I can knit a pair for myself in a couple of weeks, much depends on how much time you have, but I now do not use the pattern, making so many socks has allowed me to know the design from memory.

Everytime the birds appear usually twice a day, the pigeons turn up and take up their station.

I've been reading loads this year too helped along with audio books, which i'm loving. The blanket is coming along lovely, crochet is easy to pick up and work when you don't want to concentrate too much.

I'm not in the reading, knitting or crochet mood at the moment, I don't know what's wrong with me, well I do, I just can't settle to anything at the moment for long.

I have also noticed that over the few weeks I have been to yoga class that my back is strengthening little by little - I can now sit up straight for longer before the ache sets in - I can recommend it.<br />Sorry to hear about the rats - they can be a problem - we get tham up in the cottage garden as our wood adjoins the pub carpark and the owners are not very good at keeping the lids closed on their industrial bins - they don't even seem to understand that the rats climb up and into the bins at night you can see the teeth mark in the black bags - where there is food there will be a rat. Lets hope the bait works - we are finding the only stuff a lay person can buy now is less effective so you may have to call a professional in to smoke them out.wherethejourneytakesme2https://www.blogger.com/profile/01331935561823130257noreply@blogger.com
