Grapes are coming on. This and how quickly me laundry dries are the only good things I can think of about this horrible weather.

This...is a typical WhatsApp conversation with my mum. (Some names redacted) She's 91!!! The key to a happy life...social engagement, make friends wherever you can...especially younger ones. I'll try and add the photo of her in the glamorous dress in replies

We took the first picture of the 4 generations (then 1, 33, 64 and 87) three years ago. We tried to replicate it this year. It's a lot harder to wrangle a 4 year old to pose and we should have squashed up a bit...but anyhoo......my mum (now 90) hasn't changed a bit!

Behold! Our wondrous grapes.. They're at the front of our house because that's where the sun is. Last year we had one small bunch (not even a bunch really). Ain't they pretty?

A vine round a window at the front of our house...with proper bunchy looking grapes on...still green..though a few are getting a pinky blush now

You know the ice blocks you put in picnic boxes?...you need to keep these in your freezer and then put them in bed (wrapped in a tea towel) next to you at night ( I favour behind the knees). Helps massively and no noisy fan.

Just read 2 posts on threads where the word 'flex' was used in a context that made no sense to me. Headed to Google...who knew? When did this happen?

Screen shot which shows that in Urban slang the word 'flex' means to boast, or gloat often in an annoying way

Finished it!! Decided to just put twisted #crochet fringing round the edges as introducing yet another stitch didn't look quite right (tried it and had to undo it). Now in its new home, it goes well with the ammonite cushions I crocheted last year

5 years since the pandemic started..I was trying to learn some poetry to while away the days...one of them was Wilfred Owen's Anthem for Doomed Youth...I decided to adapt it for the times we were living in #CovidMemorial I'd forgotten about it until just now (I can no longer recite the original)

Kate @8twinge.bsky.social · 04/03/2025

Haha! In fairness I'm still watching. I've a bit of a soft spot for Morecambe since my sister and I spent a (last minute) few days there because of a funeral.

#Crochet this is my current work in progress...sometimes, instead of all the colours, I like to let all the stitches and textures do the work.
