I think I’m going to start using β€œout of the quantum” in polite society.

Many mouldy potatoes to be seen under railway bridges if folk really wanted to see them - they nest on the ledges created by the girders. So fuzzy, so cute.

One physio appointment and two phone calls (one awesome, one not so) this time.

My uncle, a guy who monologues to Olympic standards, found me a bit quiet in a conversation this morning.

Anyway, please don’t expect wit for a while.

Yes sure, I have some ideas, I would need guidance though!

I’m in Essex unfortunately, I’m not sure what is available or being done here, but I’ll look it up.

Sadly my MP is James Cleverly…

But I’ll see. Maybe nearby ones have amenable representatives.

It’s the same in the UK - the stats say that when Conservatives leave office the economy is in worse shape than it was, and when Labour leave it’s usually better. But people continue to believe the conservatives are the most fiscally responsible - it’s a weirdly intractable delusion.

What would be the best way to make the β€˜call’ do you think?

Yeah, it would be a massive boon to Brits too, especially the young and the socially isolated.
But the outcry that would come if the government put money into doing this πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

I feel like what needs to happen is a greater provision of community centres and third spaces that bypass the touchy question of work entirely. Everyone cooks, reads, plays board games, crafts, plays music, drinks tea etc - it should be based on that. Language acquisition would be improved by it too

I don’t mind if the audience is not all knitters (in fact it would be preferable, because then it would work to change attitudes about knitting) as long as the show creators had enough respect for the craft, but they don’t (apparently).
Tbh I don’t like these formats, so don’t know what I expected.

Evri is such a shit company.
Just had a delivery guy lie to my face that he didn’t try to deliver a parcel - presumably because he’d already sent the email on his walk to the next house after giving me exactly 4 seconds to get to the door.
You know it’s shitty punitive timing policies driving it. 🀬

it's so important to have one cat who never leaves your side for one moment and another cat who just yells at you for food

Yeah, that’s what I meant by neither knowing or caring. There were so many different choices that could have been made if the creators actually understood and respected the craft. It could have been great. Instead (it sounds) like they’re making these incredibly skilled makers look incompetant.

Everything I’m seeing about Game Of Wool suggests that the makers know nothing and care even less about knitting and 🧢 craft in general.
Also that they fail to both learn lessons from other similar shows and adjust their format to meet their casts personalities.

Bleh. Not going to bother.

Before you ask the spider didn’t talk. She just waved her legs about in a very communicative manner.

That communication probably being β€œgo ahead! I dare you!”

It was a very pretty twilight this evening so I went out to look. I ended up having a conversation with a spider who had built her web across the path - congratulating her on her efforts & warning of the danger, husbands eyesight not stretching to spiderwebs.

I’m not the only one like this, surely?

A tortie cat lies flobbed across a cream and blue blanket, using the toes under it as a cushion.

There are fireworks going off in one of the gardens nearby, but something tells me my efforts to de-terrorize loud noises with the cats have paid off.

Now if we could just make her less afraid of the postie.

I think with many it’s less missing the morality and more willfully ignoring it because they can’t see the benefit for themselves.

As I understand it, forgive and forget is meant to be for your benefit. When it’s only benefitting them, update the score cards.

I wonder if they aimed for Game of Yarns and enough test audiences members scratched their head and asked what yarn was?

It does seem to be one of those things you don’t learn the nuance of until you get in to fibre crafts.
