I'm so glad I didn't watch it, Craft is often seen as a joke or something to keep little old ladies busy and I feared this would result in the same instead of showing it for the artwork that it can be

This Amazing post box topper in our town (Bradford on Avon Wiltshire) was made by the local WI. Photos don't do it justice, lots of love & work went into this #LestWeForget #WeWillRememberThem

Something bright & cheerful for darker days. It's for a friends 9yr old so I used Mariners acrylic as it washes really well. Now to sew in all the ends before crocheting around & making a drawcord with pom-poms

It definitely depends on the driver not the company - although I've given feedback a couple of times to Evri and nothing changes.

Why are delivery drivers so πŸ’© Our Posties and Amazon are brilliant, never had a problem but Evri 😑 I had delivery last night pic 1 is their "proof of delivery" photo but pic 2 is where they actually left it - dropped over the fence and left wherever it lands in the rain. At least it's at my house!

Too little too late - they've always known & are only doing something now because their popularity has dropped through the floor & they're trying to save themselves!

Cleaning for an elderly friend this morning, she's registered blind so cleaning is obviously not easy for her to do. She had been looking through her jewellery & said "I have a bit of a problem with these"
That's my evening sorted for a couple of days πŸ™ˆ

Covid & Cancer There is now compelling medical evidence that Covid-19 infections can reactivate dormant cancer cells, and trigger the growth of secondary cancers.

This charity has put out info to warn those w a history of cancer to take precautions against covid as it can reactivate cancers v quickly it seems
Obviously other viruses can also increase cancer risks but perhaps not so quickly?
Eg EBV

As ever more research needed

There is a moment at this time of year when the word β€˜apricity’ really comes into view. For those who don’t know it, it was recorded only once, in 1623, before slipping out of view. Apricity is the warmth of the sun on a chilly day.

Worth a try, rely on mother nature's healing & in this case hopefully preventing 🀞🏻I follow Nancy on Instagram & a couple of Apothecary type people. Medicines seem to be less effective but natural remedies have been around for centuries.

I'm going to make a batch of this & try it - just whizz it all together in a blender (no cooking first) then freeze in ice cube trays & have one when needed or daily as a hot drink.

I still test if I think I have signs of it but know of very few people who do as they're told it's ok to go into work with it 🀷🏻 My nxt door neighbours had it quite badly twice after going on a cruise & she now has enlarged heart & recently had a procedure for it,makes me think now if covid caused it

Totally agree, they're behaving like it never happened. I think they're scared to mention it now because they got so much grief over the lockdowns! The whole thing was totally mismanaged but now they're not managing it at all !!
I hope your OH is ok, must be scary.
