Linda @lindanimmo.bsky.social · 01/08/2025It looks amazing. I'd like to knit. I've tried a few times, but my tension is not reliable, and I don't know how to put the pieces of a garmet together nicely. Cabling is beyond me. 230 3

Linda @lindanimmo.bsky.social · 29/05/2025Ditto, I have not had a single viral illness, not the slightest sniffle, for over 5 years. I wear a respirator in public indoor spaces & avoid outdoor crowds, or wear a respirator there too. 010 1
Linda @lindanimmo.bsky.social · 19/05/2025I am at loss to explain it. My GP wore a respirator until recently, now a surgical mask, but no other medical professional I have seen in the last couple of years, & that's a lot, has bothered. One used to put on a mask when I entered . But not last visit. Hand sanitiser everywhere. 010 1
Linda @lindanimmo.bsky.social · 18/05/2025Yes, out and about, nobody takes any notice of my respirator. At least they are polite enough not to comment. It was a DOCTOR last week who questioned it. 2231 23
