Hello you lovely people,

January was the month of being dizzy. An interesting, frustrating, and at times humorous feeling. February the dizziness eased but the fog descended, literally - outside and the world seemed very grey.

1. The first photo is my youngest when I very first signed him up for football lessons aged 5. I remember he had to have full kit and we were skint. We hadn’t long moved and I hadn’t found a job yet. A lot of his classmates had proper team strips and he had this generic strip from JJB sports. The second is him at the beginning of this month. Impressive eh?

   

2. The fog has been so blooming persistent this month. It makes the world feel so much smaller. Normally I can see the other side of the valley. It has been better for the last few days, but improvement is slow.

   

3. The Knitted Ones this month are a new top for Robyn, Alfonso the large barn owl, Josie the Mouse, and the gruesome threesome - Millicent, Birdie, and Lennox.

   

   

4. Bathroom art this month is a little different, two old hot chocolate containers- sadly not drunk by me. No idea what they are going to be used for, but something crafty I expect. And a poor decapitated paintbrush. Alas, I hope it gets fixed.

   

5. Gosh not many photos this month! I’m scraping the barrel here. We don’t really celebrate Valentine’s Day but we did pop out to the Piece Hall in Halifax for their Valentine’s Day market. Lots of lovely stuff which we didn’t buy cos we don’t need anything, but we did have a piece of cake and a cuppa. The flaking table rather took my fancy. It was a tad chilly hence R all wrapped up.

   

   

6. The first rugby outing of the season, they won. We get there early because otherwise parking is worse than horrendous but it does make it a long, long day.

   

7. An artful pic of my crocheted blanket on my knees, this is the back.

   

   And that’s your lot I’m afraid. Till next time, T x

Without virtual hugs I have been know to get sad 😜. Shares are good too and a comment buoys me up even more 😁 A comment of what you liked, what you didn’t etc would be most gratefully appreciated.
