Finally finished the odds and sods blanket. Lots of my late Nannie’s and my mums ends of yarn used up. I think I now need to start collecting other people’s odds and ends as I love this end result. #crochet

A nice early dog walk and litter pick. Good to see all this collected and recycled as much as possible but also sad that it was all thrown out of people’s cars. #keepbritaintidy

Writers, share the final sentence of your current #wip first three chapters!
1. The sound echoed away down into the depths.
2. Then it’d be time for an early night.
3. “Find us.”

Overall 4 query rejections this week. Two for the kids novel and two for the metafictional horror. Last night I sent off another query for each. Rather than send off batches, I’ve decided to do a one in one out style. Let’s see how it goes.
