Wishing you a healthy and happy New year!
ReplyDeleteI used to be a very enthusiastic knitter but alas my left hand is now unable to grip the needle due to damage from the chemotherapy but I can still crochet as its mainly a right handed occupation. I have to be doing something.....
Oh I do hope we get a good year, weather wise.
I'm bursting to get planting. I know it's far too early for us in the north west of England but I will start a few peppers and tomatoes off, end of Feb.
Last year we grew loofahs for the first time. They were great!
We use the small ends for the washing up and the middle for in the shower. Very ecologically friendly too.
Thank you for your blog, Dave. I read most days even if I don't always comment. I don't speak much in real life......😀
Happy New year Christina. I wish I had the patience to knit. Crocheting is a very rewarding hobby too. Sorry you can't knit anymore.
ReplyDeleteIt's dry here today, for a change so I am going to harvest the sprouts on the veg plot, do some weeding and think about putting some seaweed on for the new year potatoes. Shallots can be planted too now.
Loofahs sound fun. Do you grow them from seed?
Thanks Christina.
Yes. I got seed off the internet. I grew them in the green house. They need a long growing season though and they didn't have time to dry as much as they should have but they were still very useable!
DeleteSounds like fun. I like to grow something different every year. Last year we grew Pampas grass with seeds we bought from China,
DeleteNew potatoes not new year potatoes!
ReplyDeleteHaha. Been on the homebrew?😀
DeleteIt's this silly autocorrect. I have never been successful with homebrew have you? I make a great nettle garden tea for the veg plot,
DeleteNo, I've tried making wine but it was dire.
DeleteI must apologise. I intended to say what a grand job your wife has done on the jacket. It's lovely!
I'm finding it hard to concentrate these days!
Oh dear! We made a few batches of home brew bitter in a kit. But we didn't like them. Then we tried some craft beers here in Ireland and thought our home brewed that we had thrown down the sink was far better. I will pass on your knitting compliment Christina. It cost her 8 Euros to make.
DeleteFull of admiration for the knitter in your household. New tidings to you Dave.
ReplyDeleteI thought of you Philip. Are you still knitting? Have you ever grown loofahs? I believe they are like squashes or cucumbers? They would probably like my polytunnel to live in? Hmm..
ReplyDeleteNew tidings to you all Philip.
The knitter is very skillful is she not Dave! Thank you for the thanks, I always enjoy reading your posts and exchanging comments with you. It really does feel like I am talking to a friend both here and on my blog when you visit. I'll wait until tomorrow to talk about the New Year.
ReplyDeleteHi Rachel. Yes she is very skillful like your good self. I enjoy reading and exchanging comments with you too. Hope your Gunners and my Red Devils have much success on the football pitch next year. Thanks.
DeleteWhat a beautiful jacket. A very talented lady. I am useless at knitting. I once started to knit a newborn baby size jacket when I heard that my sister was pregnant. It didn't go too well. I gave up when the child was nearly two.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jaycee. She says it's called following a pattern. I am sure you need the patience of Job too. I can propagate cuttings and grow things but I couldn't knit. I suppose it's horses for courses?
ReplyDeleteIf she has enough wool, ask her to knit you a willy warmer. I have one with "Monty Python's Flying Circus" written up the side. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteHa, ha. An old pub game way back when I lived in Blighty was for somebody to ask a complete stranger if they had a Merkin? This game much childish merriment to all concerned. I also knew somebody who would walk in any pub and grab a complete strangers hand and shout: "Is anybody playing cowboys and Indians?" Happy days. Happy New Year YP.
ReplyDeleteThe Oxford Companion to the Body dates the origin of the pubic wig to the 1450s. According to the publication, women would shave their pubic hair for personal hygiene and to combat pubic lice. They would then don a merkin. Also, sex workers would wear a merkin to cover up signs of disease, such as syphilis.
DeleteWhat a splendid note on which to end 2019!
Thanks for the etymology of the word Merkin YP.
ReplyDeleteWe are watching Jane McDonald's New Years Eve Special on Channel 5 tonight. Didn't see Chas n Dave's Christmas knees up this year.
Happy new year Dave and Mrs Dave. Hope your garden thrives, you keep on enjoying those long walks, your blog posts are inspired (as usual) and Mrs D knits on . She has got talent!
ReplyDeleteLinda
Happy new year Linda. I wish you all a wonderful 2020 and will pass on your knitting compliments. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your blog Dave. I really enjoy it. Happy New Year. I wish you all you wish yourself and many may you see.
ReplyDeleteBest Wishes,
Maureen
Many thanks for your kind and encouraging words Irish Maureen. I hope 2020 is a great year for you. Thanks again.
DeleteLook at that little sweater. Pockets and everything! A talented knitter. You both have a good new year.
ReplyDeleteI thought you would like it Joanne. Have a prosperous 2020. Best wishes.
ReplyDeleteFINALLY FREE FROM HERPES VIRUSI thought my life had nothing to offer anymore because life became meaningless to me because I had herpes virus, the symptoms became very severe and bold and made my family run from and abandoned me so they won't get infected. I gave up everything, my hope, dreams,vision and job because the doctor told me there's no cure. I consumed so many drugs but they never cured me but hid the symptoms inside me making it worse. I was doing some research online someday when I came across testimonies of some people of how DR ADIGBA cured them from herpes, I never believed at first and thought it was a joke but later decided to contact him on the details provided and when I messaged him we talked and he sent me his herbal medicine and told me to go for a test after two weeks. Within 7 days of medication the symptoms disappeared and when I went for a test Lo and behold I was NEGATIVE by the Doctor Who tested me earlier. Thank you DR ADIGBA because I forever owe you my life and I'll keep on telling the world about you. If you are going through same situation worry no more and contact DR ADIGBA via dradigba@gmail. com or WhatsApp him via +2348077875210. he is good too to cure all type of disease and virus. 1 HIV cure 2 cancer 3 diabetes 4 hepatitis 5 herpes. You can contact if you are having any problem...
