It was a good idea not going to the market again. Well… not to have a stall anyway. I did go down to buy some wheat for the chickens and chat to a few brave stallholders I know. Most people were packing up at around 10am – Potential customers mostly stayed inside at home!
We are still getting nice little hauls of tomatoes and other vegies, despite being half a month off winter-proper! Despite their warm mash, the chooks are half heatedly laying, but that cucumber plant deserves a medal!
This evening we might have binge watched a TV series while enjoying the cosy fire. My hand is a bit sore because I am not used to crocheting for that long all at once!
My original rug has expanded by about 3 balls of yarn
And I started a new rug because I wanted to look at a different colour, and being in the middle of only a couple of projects at once is for sane people. Pretty sure I have about 15 on the go and not quite finished!
Anyway – time to share some of the photos from our beach fossick from yesterday that got side tracked by my Not-Quite-Ambergris story
Once over the railway line, we got down to this little rocky beach just past Penguin.
Even though the rocks weren’t up to scratch compared to my favourite ‘rock beach’ there was still enough to see and admire
It was (again) the rock colours and textures that really took my fancy.
It was clearly a penguin landing area and nesting site. Plenty of penguin splatties in evidence (their poo makes quite a splash in case anyone needed to know that) Also Jeff saw one at its burrow entrance! I missed it because I was busy playing with rocks.
We finished up the day sitting at the beach outlook at Penguin, scoffing hot chips and being mean to seagulls by not giving them any.
Hope your weekends have been excellent
Cheers

we are in the midst of spring here in the US. Yesterday a storm came through and temperatures dropped! last night we dipped into the 40’sF. I was crocheting to keep my lap warm. I always have several projects working because I get tired of looking at the same colors I’m crocheting
Oh I am glad its not just me!! I have several single gloves because I keep moving on to new and interesting colours!!
Brrr – Its totally sensible to do a rug when its chilly! lol Hopefully your weather will be looking up really soon!!
It should warm up soon….but we are heading further north and in a couple of weeks we’ll be in Vermont where it’s still chilly. no matter, we’ll be visiting with friends there for the summer
I wish I could knit as I like those cuffs you’ve made
Be good to see your new locations!!
If you ever learn to knit, those cuffs are pretty basic! I don’t do fancy/complicated because I have the attention span of a five year old 😀
