Out and about with Mr. 'n' Mrs. C 🌞❤️🌻...

We went to the post office and then Lidl where I rewarded myself for getting up and out early with a favourite treat, focaccia brie, for lunch. In fact I got 2 of them so I have another one for tomorrow. 😋

Then Mr. C popped into Super U for some Weetabix.

We rounded off the trip at Intermarche where we got the ingredients so I can make another pot of beef stew - this time with dumplings.

An early start to be at the hospital for 09:30. Sarah took me in the mini and we arrived in plenty of time. Indeed, I wasn't seen until 10:15 as there were others before me. The medication is working well, but the doctor believes an operation will be necessary in January.

On a brighter note, I had another helping of Fair Damsel's stew for lunch and another for dinner: I made mashed potatoes in an effort to contribute and the meal went down a treat. Absolutely Sunbeamadelicious😋

All's well in our world, Sunbeams.

🙂☄️🌻🌞

I'm a crocheter. Of course I finished one project just to store another in it.

Honestly! It sounds like an Alfred Hitchcock film out there!

A restful day spent indoors. We watched an interesting documentary about M.R. James, on YouTube, followed by the first episode of 'I Claudius' starring Derek Jacobi.

Fair Damsel prepared a Sunbeamadelicious beef stew which went down a treat with 'Midsommers Murders'.😋

All's well in our world,Sunbeams.

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 24 - Sunny Side Pop Square

Sweet dreams, Sunbeams! 

Fais de beaux rêves, Rayons de Soleil!

So many people pollute the internet with cruelty. I have decided to counter it by spewing blessings instead of hate.

May that thing you're worried about turn out better than you could possibly have imagined! 🙏

I tried to record our adopted orphan Starling, Rincewind, happily chirping away, but when I pointed the phone at them the little imp clammed up. Typical. 😂

To Vitre this AM for Mr. C's latest scan. All is well.

We passed some artistic signs for the Tour de France and an agricultural festival I was sorry to have missed. I would have enjoyed the most beautiful cow contest. 

The yellow crane is an inside joke about our trip to St. Malo when we got lost trying to get back to our camper, "Well, it was by the big yellow crane!" We could see the crane. We just couldn't find a street that led to it. 😂

It's all mine! 🧶🥹😁🥰

The manager also kindly let me take the display strip and hook as well. So my new yarn is hung neatly where I can stare at it with my ridiculously happy grin. I'm going to learn the Willow Square. I'm going to make the squares with the coloured yarn and join them with the white.

This yarn display has been at Intermarche, apparently untouched, since I came to France over 5 years ago. My tendency to anthropomorphize makes me feel bad for it. Even though I don't need it, I will probably break down eventually and buy some. If I had a spare 45€ I'd buy all of it and make a pretty little blanket.

I'm going to have to take a short break from social media and news consumption. It's really taking a toll on my mental health. Friends are welcome to contact me directly and I will possibly post good things found in our world but I will not be surfing the web for a while. I love you all.
