Grey and blustery today again. The weather isn't too good either!!

I'm off out in a while to have lunch with my two besties. Excited!! Only problem is I have over an hours drive to get there so I hope the roads are clear. I've embroidered them a Christmas card each but my ideas of taking them Christmas coasters didn't materialise. We have agreed no presents this year, just spend time together so that is all good.

Have a good day everyone.

For anyone thinking about the strips here is a very good you tube https://youtu.be/IXsItKHmmNk

That's the one I watched 

Congratulations @justpottering.  I hope you enjoyed your evening out.

My sock is now 2" long!! I'm not a speedy knitter so this could take some time 
However I got intrigued with the 'jogless join using the helical method' and watched some videos on that (I refer you to my 'Oooh Look, Shiny!!' confession). The chances of me ever doing striped socks (or striped anything!!) other than with striped wool is less than zero but I watched it and thought "I could do that".....   

Well, I had a super day in Worcester yesterday despite the Victorian Christmas Market which meant the place was heaving!! When we went to catch our train home the queue for the station snaked all the way down the street  fortunately we discovered that was for the Birmingham bound trains so we were able to access our platform and got the train home no problem.
I then slept like a log until 1.45 and I woke up  Grr. I eventually went to sleep again around 5ish but I have felt rubbish all day and even missed going to our music afternoon in the pub I felt so grot (and no, it wasn't drink related for once!!  )
I managed another embroidery this morning and did some tidying and sorting in my sewing room but haven't done much at all this afternoon. (Two rows of sock knitting only!!) Christmas tree is still undecorated 
A lady requested some suitcases on our local Freebie facebook page so I was able to give her two that I was unsure what to do with. They were my in laws cases and were rather surplus to requirements so I'm glad they are out of the way. Nice bit of decluttering there!! 
I'm still tired and grouchy so will have an early night and will hopefully sleep through.
Have a good evening everyone.

To me they are two different looks. One is more contrast than the other so you need to decide whether you want to have a contrast look or go more blended.
I'll go against everyone else & say 'grey's. 

Off to Worcester Victorian market tomorrow

I'm in Worcester tomorrow @Bjay but hoping to avoid the Victorian Market!!  Will be avoiding all shops as well. Our tentative route is Plough, Cardinal's Hat, Imperial, Paul Pry (perhaps Cricketers), Arches, Dragon. That'll do nicely 

Mrs Grump here today - I did my usual 'woke too early and didn't go back to sleep' and now I feel evil 
I went to the bank this morning to pay some money in and wanted some change for the pub (long story involving incompetent business bank and not being able to change banks until hubby gets his license back from DVLA). Anyway the cashier needed to get the amount I wanted from the vault but it needs two people to do that and the other person was in a meeting. She asked me to go back half an hour later, so a fruitless wander round charity shops, back to the bank to find it still wasn't ready. I wasn't cross with them as I'd sprung it on them but I had nothing to do in town. Fortunately I noticed hubby's van outside our pub so I was able to go and sit in there until I could collect the money. I came back here, had lunch and have whiled away the afternoon on 'puter and knitting. Trying not to nap but will probably fail.

I didn't have to decorate the pub tree after all, Yay!! When I got there the barman's girlfriend, who used to work for us, had done it. She loves Christmas decorating so was happy to do it. She made a much better job of it than I would have done. And the small Christmas tree I had asked for at home? Turned out to be over 6' tall. Le sigh. No, it is not decorated nor is it likely to be this weekend. We're off to Worcester tomorrow for a Red Lion on Tour day so no decorating then. No rush 

I need to get a move on with Secret Santa, if I hadn't been so tired and wasted so much time at the bank today I had planned to do some. Next week it is then.

Have a good day everyone.
