I don't have any blanket yarn, so I made a tiny version of the free Betsy the Cow pattern by @stitchin_belle (Instagram) using DK weight yarn and an F (3.75mm) hook. I couldn't resist giving her a wee tail.

We were enjoying a cup of tea in the bedroom when we heard an odd noise from downstairs. To conserve water we save bath water to flush the toilet. Fortunately there were only a few inches in the bath when Watson got into the bathroom and fell in. ๐Ÿ™€ She's almost dry now. #cats

Fair Damsel was up early to prepare the roast and I joined her to make breakfast.


Then we spent a relaxing day due to rain and watched Star Wars until it was time to prepare dinner.


Fair Damsel's Yorkshire pudding was absolutely Sunbeamadelicious.๐Ÿ˜‹๐ŸŒž

Early bicycle ride to post office and garage in light drizzle.


The camper failed it's test and repairs look expensive.


Sarah brought over a breakfast treat and her car keys so I could go shopping.


After shopping, I cooked us a big breakfast.๐Ÿ˜‹

Mr. C had a busy morning dropping the camper off at the garage for inspection and biking home to make my breakfast. I heated up soup for lunch, then tackled this massive tin of Danish Spam from Le Noz. Some went in the fridge, some the freezer, and some became KFC fried Spam Fingers.

I have an odd habit. Whenever I find a crochet pattern I like with multiple colours, especially flowers, I feel compelled to make pairs of them with the colours in opposite order. Bizarre n'est-ce pas ?

Happy May Day and Blessed Beltane to all! Mr. C went out in the rain and plucked me a sprig of broom blossoms to celebrate.


Oh and

White rabbits! White rabbits! White rabbits!

I just crocheted this flower coaster following a YouTube tutorial by Pora Pora Crochet. The design is really pretty and her tutorials are very easy to follow.

Mr. C bought me some sweet little lilies-of-the-valley this afternoon. Hopefully I'll be able to get them to take in the garden.

Out and about with Mr. 'n' Mrs. C ๐ŸŒž❤️๐ŸŒป...


It's a beautiful day today, the first we've had in quite a while and the only one likely this week. We went grocery shopping and then to the vet to get flea treatments for Moriarty and Watson. There were loads of daisies blooming.

I was just about to get up and make myself a sandwich. Fortunately I have Mr. C to spoil me by making it for me.

"When an ancient troll is awakened in a Norwegian mountain, a ragtag group of heroes must come together to try and stop it from wreaking deadly havoc."


Mr. C: Sounds scary.


Me: It'll either be scary or cheesy. Either one is good.


Mr. C: ๐Ÿ˜„


Update: It was cheesy but kinda fun.

Fair Damsel produced another masterpiece for dinner.


It looked like a Cornish pasty with a magnificent crusty crimp but when I bit into it my taste buds were treated to beef & onion pie.


Absolutely Sunbeamadelicious is an understatement.๐Ÿ˜‹
