Just to prove that there was knitting whilst we walked yesterday. (Let's not talk about the fact that I've had to rip this jumper back and begin again.)

NEWSFLASH! I SAW ROBYN'S TWO BABIES! Pic 1: Robyn has breakfast. Pics 2&3: She brings her babies down. They're (wisely) very wary, so I had to leave a motion-activated camera outside in order to have a look. ❤️

What I didn't know was that my friend Jo has been secretly making an absolutely perfect model of Robyn-the-robin. Look what appeared on my doorstep yesterday! ❤️ I can only imagine how many hours must have gone in to all that embroidery. (Jo did admit that she has calluses on her hands as a result!) It's perfect and beautiful and I will treasure it forever. But I mustn't let the real Robyn catch sight of it!

The (skirt) patient is undergoing major surgery to replace its middle section, but don't worry, the surgeon has been anaesthetised with wine, so she won't feel a thing. 😁

If I can turn a heel whilst walking with the twinnage, I can do anything, right? Like, for example, beat this silly uppity little cancerous lump. Right? Yeah?? Maybe???

A friend and I are making nettle yarn, and one of the stages is to 'bake' the nettle stems for a few hours. Given this quantity of nettles, I would have needed to keep the oven on for a week! So here's my solution. It's 32°C out there today, and if I leave the car in the sun, I reckon it'll get more than hot enough. Fingers crossed.

So, a thing happened. Yesterday, I found this small metal disk whilst digging the garden. Clearly old, a little strange. Thanks to a contact from a helpful friend, I emailed the Finds Officer at our local archaeology service. Didn't expect a speedy response, but I guess a lot of his usual work is on hold. Here's what he said: My first impression is that you have a Medieval to Post Medieval (AD 1200 - 1800) lead token. The date range on these is huge because we get lots of them and they vary a huge amount in form! They can be used for lots of different purposes, as gaming counters, weights, trade tokens and more.
.
Not bad for an afternoon's gardening!

Quick reminder, I'm keeping a garden photo-diary @the.twisted.garden. Feel free to come and see blooms, bugs, and... I can't think of a synonym for vegetables that begins with 'b', but the produce is there too. (Also, my friend Selma is doing the same but better at @eclectichomelife.garden.) Tomorrow I might film some underwater footage of the sticklebacks nest-building. Or I might not, depending on how the homeschooling and general twinnage-management is going. .

Nope, you haven't got rid of me yet! 😁😁😁 This pic is from yesterday, three days post-surgery, walking three miles very slowly. I'm mostly dozing, or walking, or saying "Yes you can get yourself another fourteen biscuits" to the twinnage. Not really knitting yet. (I know, I know, call an ambulance right now!) THANK YOU for all your kind comments and messages. BYE BYE CANCER!
