A day of highlights, like getting back to my mini strolls and meeting neighbours I haven't met in ages. But the biggest highlight was meeting this guy!

Our current Book Club read.
Approx 300 pages to read by Friday morning.
One chapter in and so far I have to say it seems, well, simply...... marvellous!
That'll help make the reading speedy.....right?! 📚

Another sign that 'Tis the season!
A tradition of mine.
Usually includes a bar of Frys Chocolate Cream.
Instead I had to make do with a bar of Butlers Caramel.
I mean, the sacrifices I make! 😋

My photo for today.
My Camellia plant (I had to look at the plant tag as I couldn't remember!) that I bought in April.
It brings joy because it seems to be blooming.again...in November.
And also because I haven't managed to kill it....yet!! 😆

This is both my arms today. A day of self imposed ban on #knitting & #crochet
Anyone else with #armneuropathy #tenniselbow
I need a fix!
All those projects won't make themselves!🤣

Just added my just completed yellow knitted pumpkin to my crocheted ones, made a few years back when I was new to crochet!
I have to say that no matter how quick crochet is I much prefer #knitting mode for characters and seasonal items.
Neater, I think
