Those shawls sound lovely, but I'm still glad I gave up knitting years ago.
The predicted rain never arrived yesterday, but not to worry - I decided to plant all the spinach & two of the cauli plants today, with a few garlic cloves on the other side of the cauli, so they'll have it on both sides. Will plant more cauli in a week or two as i don't want them all ripe at once - assuming they survive, that is.
Those blasted birds had somehow dug up a spinach plant when i looked again a bit later, must have been after a worm so just re planted & heeled in very firmly. Lets see you dig that up, you little feathered spinach burglar!
Went around & got Madame Le Dog a bag of her dog biscuits; noticed they were on special yesterday but couldn't manage a bag of them with everything else so left it for today. Only to find that, both biscuits I use for her were on special, so got one of each. She'll be absolutely fine for a while, should there be a sudden shortage of dog biscuits.
And had another look at that NZ T shirt site sweetie darling no.2 told me about & have bought a T shirt for youngest grandson for Xmas. If it arrives & is all that it should be, then I may get three more - one for each sweetie darling for Xmas. Their prices aren't bad; similar ones on TM are near the $50 mark, which imo is OTT for a T shirt, regardless of what it has on it, & I paid only $35 total, including postage/courier, so not too bad.

in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
