Main feature of the day was the woolly workshop, though the main things that will stick in my mind is the letter from Nottinghamshire County Council wanting to see all our quality assurance documentation and the call from the Fat Police.
NCC, as always, seem to assume that we have a bloated administrative structure with little better to do than produce words and waffle. I will say no more, but you can probably read my mind on that one.
The Fat Police, who aren’t really called that, they are “something for change” or something like that, rang me after the practice ratted me out as a fatty last time I visited. And what did they do? They rang me to make a telephone appointment for somebody else to call me. In two week’s time. It’s a bit of a long drawn out process, but it suits me, as I’m not that keen on the process of starvation that seems to be involved in weight loss. Bit casual for the NHS, considering they keep telling me I’m in danger of dropping dead.
All that plus home baked bread from one of the group, which went down nicely with another version of the cheap orange-coloured soup (carrot, parsnip, onion, potato, black pepper, stock cube). I like white bread, though it seems a bit like a guilty pleasure in these days of wholemeal, sourdough and spelt.
Anyway, as you can see from the pictures Jen Hunter’s woolly workshop was a great success and most of the group, plus some of the village, will be sporting snoods next week. Men in Sheds will be producing the knitting rings in the near future too. She will be talking at the meeting this evening too.
I used to love doing french knitting when I was a girl. I was bought a few french-knitting dolls but my mother used to knock four tacks into a cotton reel (wood in those days). I have never seen such large frames for knitting before. Ideal for snoods! Great photos – bread looks good!
Yes, I remember the dolls and the cotton reels – was amazed at the size of the frames on Wednesday. Bread was good – even better that someone else did it!
Like Derrick, I think the pic’s are great. I love grainy, nutty bread, but sometimes white bread is a comfort.
Indeed it is. 😉
‘au’ should read ‘I’. That damn autocorrect again…
😉
Well, I wouldn’t call myself a white bread man but that’s what au usually bake. If only it didn’t go stale so quickly!
I tend to eat it before it goes stale, which is a problem of another type…
Excellent pictures, and it won’t surprise you to know that I am a white bread man, too
Glad to hear it – I knew there must be more of us about!
