Trans Day Of Visibility


Having completed my Easter projects, I was pondering what I wanted to #crochet . Then I remembered that today is #TransDayOfVisibility . So I got out my pink, white, and blue yarn and am joyfully making butterflies for #RandomActsOfCrochetKindness


To all of my trans siblings: I see you! You are valid! You are loved!

Good morning, Sunbeams!

Mr. C got me my favourite flowers for Easter. 🥰


#HappyEaster 
 


Why is it I get my most brilliant ideas between 3 and 4am? I couldn't sleep until I made Albert a pair of bunny ears for Easter to surprise Mr. C when he woke up.


Happy Easter from Mr. 'n' Mrs. C. Moriarty & Watson and especially Albert!

The downside of taking a luxurious hot bath when you're tired from a busy day is having to fight the desire to just go ahead and spend the night there.

I charged the battery overnight so during a bright spell this afternoon Fair Damsel suggested a drive in the camper which we hadn't done for ages.

We drove for an hour along country lanes with Fair Damsel happily videoing and taking photos.

Turbines wave their arms

like distant phantoms haunting

the grey horizon.

Gales and heavy rain prevented me from charging the camper but it did try to start which suggests that Jack may have cured the drain on the battery. I'll charge it later if conditions improve but in the meantime it's time to prepare dinner.

I'd planned to take the camper to Jack's for repair and have my hair cut by his wife but the battery was flat. He came and jump started it so I got my haircut but the repair was unsuccessful.


Never mind, at least Fair Damsel made Cornish pasties.😋

I just finished the last piece for Mr. C's annual Easter Bunny. This is the biggest one yet. In fact it's my biggest ever cuddly toy. Now I just have to sew him together and make a pompom for the tail. And I won Yarn Chicken!

Never let anyone tell you something is impossible. If I can manage to cut myself with a pair of safety scissors, there's nothing you can't accomplish if you just believe in yourself.

Despite falling asleep after breakfast, I was determined to help Michel with strimming the lake area. It was almost dark when I finished and my arms ached but Fair Damsel rewarded me with Cornish pasties and sweet bites😋


All's well in our world.😊💫🌻🌞

My video glitched when I was recording the sunset chorus but, with a little jiggery pokery, I managed to pair the audio with a still I took of the moon rising.

We spent the day resting and I slept through a good part of it after waking up at 05:00 hrs. Our body clocks are well out of sync but should settle as the weather improves.

Fair Damsel prepared dinner with a little help from me: I did potatoes.😋

Mr. C did some badly needed weeding today so I rewarded him with some of his favourites for dinner: sausage rolls, mash, and beans. 😋 Yes, I sometimes eat beans too.

To celebrate the coming of Spring, Mr. C made me a lovely daisy chain.

Finally sorted the washing machine error problem by simply lifting the door and closing gently. I washed 2 loads overnight and both dried despite cloudy skies.

It's raining now but Fair Damsel's already put them away.

All's well in our world.

Wow! I've had no fewer that four Kiefer Sutherland s follow me on the app formerly known as Twitter. Now I have one wanting to be my friend on the Book of Faces. Who knew it was such a common name? 🤔😂🙄

I'm not sure when, or even if, I planted this tulip in my flower box but I am delight to see it blooming there.

A lazy day for me: a spot of shopping after breakfast followed by a long nap.


Not so Fair Damsel who not only crocheted but also found time to make giant Cornish pasties.


I think you can guess which one's mine.


Absolutely Sunbeamadelicious.😋

A group of bunnies is called a fluffle. These are ready to go spread some Easter kindness around the local village.

It fills me with #pride to present Stomy, my rainbow version of the Amigurumi Bear pattern I've been testing for https://www.instagram.com/crochet.nz?igsh=MXJpZDJvN3JqN2x4eQ==

You gotta love French snacks; although these little cheese filled "wafers" do resemble tiny Holy Hand Grenades of Antioch.

Mr. C took me shopping at Le Noz (discount store) in Craon today. We'd been there a while when he said, "Did you see the great big balls of wool?" (He's English; so he calls all yarn wool.) I had not. He showed me where they were and, of course, we brought some home.

A beautiful day so we drove to another town to see if we could find treats for us both. Fair Damsel bought some huge balls of yarn with a few other things: I bought 20 tins of baked beans and a packet of fig biscuits.

All's well in our world.

Well, I still need to pull a bunch of ivy and weeds, but I managed to summon up the energy between rainstorms to repot my birthday primroses and tidy up the flower boxes a bit.

When you realize that one of those bright blue objects in the flower box is not a forget-me-not! 🤩 #honored #garden #gardening


Reliable sources inform me that it is now naptime.
