I'm testing another crochet pattern. Thank goodness I have Watson to help me. I don't know what I'd do without her keen observation skills.

The 28th of May has become our Annual Picnic Day. We take the camper to the park at La Selle-Guerchaise where we enjoy sandwiches, crisps, tea, and a game of Boggle.

A trip to Intermarche saw me shopping with Fair Damsel for the first time in over six weeks. I was pretty slow, tbh, but it was a milestone. I also made it through the day without sleeping.

We celebrated with egg, chips, baked beans & sausages.

This is Miss Watson giving me the stink eye for daring to photograph her when she was trying to nap on my feet.

A restful day spent watching an Agatha Christie drama before I slept for a couple of hours.

Fair Damsel made toad-in-the-hole with gravy whilst I made roast potatoes and veg.

Absolutely Sunbeamadelicious.😋

All's well in our world, Sunbeams.

Our dear little rescue bird, Rincewind, achieved a milestone today. They've started eating food from their dishes. This means we will be able to stop hand feeding them. I'm going to try offering them some blackberries tomorrow.

I enjoyed testing the new free Fun Guy pattern by https://www.instagram.com/madebykarla?igsh=MXNtZmN5OGljeXJtMg== for the upcoming Game Of Shrooms event! 🍄 Look how cute!

Mr. C gave me The Granny Square Card Deck for my birthday. I'll #crochet 1 square every week with Hobbii Rainbow Cotton 8/8 yarn, size H (5mm) hook. This will give me 50 squares with 2 weeks to join them into...something before my next birthday. Week 15 - Gilwen Square

Sarah drove me to the hospital and acted as a translator. The surgeon was happy with my recovery from the operation and arranged an appointment with her colleague for the second emergency issue.

I've had a tiring day and fell asleep as we listened to a story. Luckily, Fair Damsel woke me in time for dinner and treated me to courgettes, which went down a treat with mashed potatoes and smoked chicken.😋

All's well in our world, Sunbeams.

Awoke at 08:30, and did french before making breakfast.

Afterwards, I slept for several hours, then sorted the recycling and chatted with Sarah and Michel, who were working outside.

Fair Damsel made beef stew.

Absolutely Sunbeamadelicious.😋

Nature does funny things. I almost felt a little guilty about separating these conjoined mushrooms before putting them in the pot.

lucky stars - des étoiles porte-bonheur

I crocheted blue stars for the fronts and white stars for the backs, joining them with red. The hats are buttons.

It doesn't happen often, but once in a while I get to take pleasure in abandoning and frogging a #crochet project. I was making new chair cushion covers with fine yarn and a small hook. It would have taken forever. Sarah and Michel gave us new (to us) chairs, no cushions needed.

We do need to weed the gravel around our front porch, but it's hard to pull the forget-me-nots and daisies, especially when they produce wonders like this.

That explains the 🍊🍆🥔's claim of making 200 trade deals when there are only 195 countries in the world. Mattel makes it 196. Then there's The Peoples Republic of Hasbro, The Commonwealth of Fisher Price, Legoland, and The Sovereign Nation of Build a Bear.

Rincewind kept trying to bathe in their water dish, which is too small; so, we gave them a little paddling pool. Splish splash! 🌊🐦‍⬛

We had a duvet covering one of our windows to keep out the cold. I took it down today and put it on the foot of the bed until I can put it away. Miss Watson thinks we should just leave it where it is.

Fair Damsel made a first rate job of assembling Rincewind's new home. They're still trying to figure it out and trying to escape through the water dish.

All's well in our world, Sunbeams.

Because Thursday is VE Day, I'm making some poppy inspired bookmarks. I hope I can get out and about to distribute them.

Took a couple of brief strolls in the sunshine. Fair Damsel has been crocheting as she slowly recovers from all the stress of the past couple of weeks.

We had pork chops, boiled potatoes, and baked beans for dinner.

Absolutely Sunbeamadelicious😋

Well, I managed to NOT completely ruin my peanut butter cookies, but it wasn't for lack of trying. When the timer went off I saw that the temp was set to 125° C, not 175° C. There was nothing for it but to turn the oven up and put them back in. They turned out okay, thank goodness.

Last night, Rincewind proved to be a cunning escape artist. I was feeding them when they backed away, forcing me to lift the lid of the cage. It was only a fraction, but in a flash, they were out and flapping around the room.

Safe inside now.🙄

Thank you to my sweet friend, Lynne O'Rourke, for guiding me to this flower garland pattern which I was able to modify slightly to make pretty bookmarks.

Despite being totally exhausted from coping with the stress of my recent illnesses and operation, Fair Damsel worked hard to prepare an omelette for dinner. It was absolutely Sunbeamadelicious.😋

Learning to read #crochet charts, I did 7 over the past 2 days. One skein of variegated yarn yielded 15 items for #RandomActsOfCrochetKindness. They're Rainbow hued; so, I think I'll save them to scatter in June for #PrideMonth.

By stitching together two African Flower hexagons, I was able to make a little pouch and put some sweeties inside. I hope finding this little bonbonnière will lift someone's spirits.

Mr. C is definitely getting his pep back. He made us an absolutely sunbeamadelicious breakfast!
