Trying to keep our spirits up ! Coping strategy ( lighthearted )

I can sing and don't need propped up but I do have a bit of a problem: you know my arms are in plaster, you've seen the Angel of the North...
I take up so much room now. DH can't sit near me on the sofa (fine by me!) but I have to go through doors sideways.

Sussexborn I could do with a nattering wool winder
Are you any good at making a as well?

Jane10 if you can manage to hold your plastered arms in the air, Sussexborn can put the skeins of yarn on them and wind them into balls!
Pas de problème!!

Travel ideas for the weekend?

Should have RTWFT -I see Marmight got there before me (she is a much travelled lady! )

Good morning !
Gaunt you’re a chicken ( so am I )
Well good resolutions are fading. It was the knitting wot dunnit. I got waylaid looking for patterns. Doodle. It’s your fault.
Don’t think rowyn’s talkin’ to me now. Was it ‘cos I called her posh ? I thought Bella Senora was an opera. Turns out it’s something else on You Tube. Now I’m knitting a cheeky tutu type outfit for it.
Now who was it hosts the 11am virtual coffee morning ? Cake ? I’ll make it if I get a wriggle on. ?‍♀️?‍♀️?‍♀️

MawB
ROFL?

The chocolate torte is cooling and smells amazing and the banana bread is going to be ready at 11ish. I've fished out some old tea bags but the coffee's fresh.
All are welcome, but let me know what you're bringing.

Could somebody feed me a cheese scone? Not too much butter please.

Oops, I shoved too much in there in one go!
Didn't mean to make you choke, Jane10, sorry

Hace a

That flat has a walk in closet
I could get to like it here

And a balcony (no pesky weeds)

Everyone is welcome to the knit and natter group. Crocheting is fine carillion and sussexborn you can certainly help with the wool and join in the natter.

Don’t worry jane I’ll give you a hearty slap on the back to stop you choking. ?. There is that better? Oops sorry carillion the scone seems to have shot out straight into your

DD has just pushed a large bar of Cadbury’s fruit and nut through the letterbox.

Maybe I should have let her in [hmmm] ?

Nope it’s all mine....

Doodle I'm Castillemon, the one with the pink spiky hair

Carillion is the nice, quiet well-behaved one, is she here?
Can she knit, if not she can do the washing up?

castillemon I am so sorry. I have been talking to carillion on another thread and got confused. Also, I misread you name as callistemon which sounds like carillion and just got carried away (as no doubt I should be ?) So sorry. To make up for it I will make sure you get the comfy armchair in the K & N group and will bring you a nice big slice of gaunt’s cake.

I like the sound of the pink spiky hair by the way ?

2 walk-in closets Callistemon !!

Don't know if this is the appropriate thread for this but here goes-
When I messaged my son a week ago to say that I wouldn't be taking our 18month old grandson from that day on as we were self- isolating his reply was ' Okay, just leave him out on the front step & we'll collect him '
My wonderful son - his sense of humour never fails to lift me

Well I enjoyed the coffee break, but did Mr Doodle really have to have a third slice? Doodle I hope his interview for a security guard at Sainsbury's goes well. He is a fine figure of a man.
faye17 of course you can join in, knitting and baking skills are optional but they help in a frivolous sort of way....

It's not the first time we have been mixed up.

Yes, cake should soothe me, thank you very much
I could fall asleep in that lovely chair.

Grammaretto how did I miss the second walk-in closet?
I was overdue an optician's appointment and it's not going to happen now for some time.

Thankyou Gaunt 47 - couldn't call myself a baker but have been known to knit a few treats

Not sure of the need for timetable I wouldn't normally live like that! I just hav a list of things I like doing to go to if I get down or 'bored' (never let my children use that word). Today I polished each nail (all 10) different colours then joined an online jazz workshop wearing a silly hat for Saturday just enjoying life and doing whatever I like.

Ok on with the knit and natter group. callistemon make yourself comfy in the armchair and here’s a slice of cake and a for you. That crochet of yours is getting bigger by the minute. Keep going and we can use it as a carpet on the floor.
faye you are more than welcome. How about knitting some fancy cup cakes. That would be fun ?. Just watch out for jane she keeps turning round and knocking people out with her plaster casts.
So what is everyone up to today?

I could hardly get through the door for Callistemon's crochet.
Ginny I love the idea of wearing a silly hat today, perhaps Callistemon could crochet a few. I'm useless at that sort of thing.
I'm going to be baking for tomorrow's coffee morning - any requests?

Oh dear. DGS has discovered video WhatsApp calls. Think he had a fright suddenly seeing me in all my manky glory. No point in dressing up or make up or hair brushing. I'll really have to smarten up in case of video calls now. Unforseen snag of modern technology.

Gaunt it's big enough for everyone to isolate underneath.
