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 35 - Rainy Day Puddles Square



On my way out with Mr. C to go shopping, I noticed 3 feathers in one of my flower boxes, now fallow with sorrel. They were still there when we got home; so, I collected them. They may be from the same bird, but definitely not the same wing. Two are lefties and one a rightie. Having no idea what or who might have left them, I decided to leave 3 pieces of fresh bread in return. I'm not about to risk offending any of The Fair Folk, especially in October.

Mr. C walked into the village on an errand this morning and returned wearing a big, satisfied grin. He had popped into the only local business, the pub, Chez Flo, and bought something. No. Not a drink. (He's a teetotaller.) It was a present for me. I must say that my new jack-o-lantern tray made my breakfast even more of a delight.

Now how do I explain to Moriarty that I put the towel there to clean the birdcage, not for him to be cute on?


Good grief! I get one off and the other decides it's her turn! Oh, Watson!

Thanks to Fair Damsel's cunning plot, I was able to celebrate the seventh anniversary of our first in-person meeting and first kiss with a tasty breakfast of Heinz baked beans on toast. They went down a treat with a tasty mug o' tea.

All's well in our world, Sunbeams.

A cold, dark, damp, overcast start to the day didn't really inspire me to do very much tbh. I was quite content with feeding the animals, doing my french lessons, and preparing breakfast before settling down to a story on YouTube.


However, Fair Damsel had other ideas and, despite my lack of enthusiasm, she persuaded me to make the long drive to Craon as she wanted to visit Bazarland to look for craft items and I could look for baked beans in Super U.


The journey saw blue skies appear which really perked me up and when we arrived she headed for Bazarland whilst I popped into Super U. I wasn't very hopeful about finding Heinz baked beans tbh, as I'd tried several times before without success. Wonder of wonders, I found loads and bought 12 tins for just under 28€.


When I rejoined her and told her the good news it turned out that it had all been a ruse because what she really wanted was for me to take the opportunity to look for baked beans.


All's well in our world, Sunbeams.

Our adopted orphan starling, Rincewind, is quite clever. They have started speaking human. This isn't even the clearest we've heard "pretty bird" from them.



This was a field of sunflowers last season. Its been left fallow now but there are some little volunteer sunflowers that have sprouted from leftover seeds. Look at this brave bloom, unwilling to give up despite the odds.

In the garden with Mrs. C 🌞❤️🌻...


It's been a lovely day today. I was pleased to be able to get outside to weed my herb garden. I still need to get a sage plant for the empty spot.
