Theo went out on his morning rounds and came back mysteriously dishevelled.

β€˜It was an I Will Survive for the 1990s’: how McAlmont & Butler made Yes β€˜David only had words for one verse. β€œJust sing it twice,” I said. β€œWe can worry about that later.” But we never got around to it – and people don’t seem to notice’

Hands down best song of the 90s. Or, in fact, ever.

Preached at services in Bonn and Cologne this morning, then an extended afternoon nap. Now enjoying a nice cuppa.

Nerves a bit jangly about tomorrow’s elections in Germany. Luckily Theo is a calming, peace-loving presence. Let’s all be more like Theo 😻

I’ve never watched it, but I soon learned never to phone any German friends at that time on a Sunday evening.

My godmother taught me to knit when I was a child. When my goddaughter was born, I decided to offer to teach her when she was old enough. We’ve had happy knitting times together that brought back happy memories for me, too. 🧢

Just finished my first ever pair of socks. They turned out as non-identical twins, so I shall love them equally but in very slightly different ways 🧢

Nice yarn πŸ˜ƒ
I did a small one for my nephew when he was a toddler. Love that pattern, and the adaptability of it 🧢

Here’s a lap blanket I’m working on. The person it’s for said she likes reds and pinks, so I raided my yarn stash and here we are 🧢

A friend had been wanting to start a group for ages, so she asked around and it turned out several people she knew loved knitting or wanted to learn. Tomorrow is our third get-together 😊

Knitting group meets tomorrow, yay! We knit shawls and blankets for people in need of comfort or solace, but also in times of joy and celebration. Can’t wait to see what everyone’s been working on. 🧢

I’ve just binge-watched season 1 and am so glad there are two more seasons left. How did this not come to our attention years ago? Loving it.
