Welcome to family, friends and visitors. Here you will find interesting (hopefully) pictures of my part of the world, news of our household and probably, long ramblings about anything that catches my interest.

Gloves.

The day started with rain followed by a few hours of sun and then back to more dismal greyness though it hasn't begun raining again, yet.
Not only did the blue skies cheer me up but so too did the sight of the sun reaching halfway up the garden.
 
I must have overdone things a bit last night as my back felt quite sore in the evening and then again in the morning. However after a slightly longer lie-in than usual I had no problems doing my 'physio' exercises. I felt the stretch in my sides as usual but everything else was in its normal state of decrepitude. To be on the safe side I've had a day of pottering about. Peter took all the bags of garden waste to the dump as he was going to the industrial estate which saves me going there on Friday when we are due to have heavy rain. 
I've been tidying, did some mending and tried out a different way of darning that I got from FB. You make one line of yarn across and then construct stitches across the yarn before repeating the process. The result is bulkier than my usual weaving method but much quicker. It was only on one of my pairs of fingerless gloves so it didn't matter that it wasn't so neat. Speaking of gloves, rubber washing up gloves in this instance. I keep having to throw out the right hand gloves when they get holes in them but being me I keep the good left hand ones. Today when I finally got fed up with having a wet hand while washing up I realised that if I turn a left hand glove inside out it will become a right hand glove. I expect most people already know this but it was a mini eureka moment for me. I've also begun trying out swirly designs with my collection of glass blobs as I hope to do something on one of the porch windows (when it actually gets built).
For the moment it looks as if the rain is only falling over Snowdonia. No doubt it will arrive here eventually.
