- Hiya, Long time I know.
I have been trying to learn to crochet ...... baaaadly! I will get there ..... I am practising. Had a go at trying to do your hat - it was a pretty unusable effort and has been recycled. Not the fault of your excellent instructions - my menopausal brain just needs to practice more!!!!!
I will do it!!!!!! I will post you a photo when I have achieved.
Hope all goes well, Suzan x

Lynne Emery said… - Thank you Janet. I am most pleased to make your acquaintance. I have not been able to meet my latest grandchild except in pictures but hope to visit California soon which is where she and her mommy and daddy call home. I have also not been able to spend much time here lately due to working to very many hours and when I get on here, I totally lose track of time. If only I didn't need to sleep!

- Hi Janet, what foresight. Thank you so much for raising this. I had hardly thought about Christmas, but of course, as it is summer in South Africa, gifts rather than blankets would be a wonderful challenge. Oh yes Christmas is HUGE in South Africa. Did you know that South Africa has the highest Christian population in the world per capita, interesting isn't it. So lets give this some thought. Ronda recently wrote suggesting a whole lot of things that we could do for distributions during the summer months to give them a chance to make and stockpile blankets and clothes for winter.
Ronda is in Johannesburg which is where the mail arrives, so I am a bit confused by your post masters advice. In fact Soweto is really part of Johannesburg, a sort of city within a city, probably about an hour's drive from where Ronda lives. Jo and Lindiwe who help Ronda, live in Soweto and catch taxis each week to help with the opening of the parcels. They are amazing volunteers, we are very lucky to have their help.

Have not had the results yet of medical tests - no news is good news, is my theory.

- Hi
Yup have kinda realised that terminology is different! I shall be going by the pictures to work out how to do the stitches I think!
Just noticed something about cats on your wall. I always adopt one (or more!!!) We are down to one now. He is 16 or maybe more. Costing me a fortune at the vets! Thyroid and arthritis. He now has a new girlfriend who can't be more than a year old......... go figure that out! he is currently at the front door trying to get out.
They do say that dogs have owners and cats have slaves ...... guess I had better get up and let his majesty out .
Ciao for now.
