Forgot to post this last night. Progressed to day 11 of my mosaic crochet blanket on 13th December. Ho-ho-ho panel finished, Christmas trees next
A part made mosaic crochet blanket, bottom stripe red baubles on a yellow background, then grey snowflakes on a white background, then pink letters spelling ho-ho-ho on blue background. At the top is a yellow and green stripe.

Today’s pop of colour, the deep pink colour of ruby chard in my veg patch.
Two ruby red chard plants, the deep pink stems positively glowing in the sunshine.

Today’s #parkrun pics. Chilly and clear with blue skies and not too much mud, perfect winter conditions
A middle aged woman in a green 250 vest and black leggings running alongside a man in a thin running jacket and shorts. Reader, I went past him on the outside of the bend and maintained my lead to cross the finish line first. A middle aged white man in green tshirt, black & red shorts and fluorescent yellow hat and gloves with Archie the brown and white springer spaniel on a lead beside him. A lady in a pink jacket and black leggings is running with him, she’s looking forward to completing her 550th parkrun next weekend. The start, runners setting off into a very wintry looking forest. Archie the brown and white springer spaniel running towards the camera, stick in mouth, one ear flying.

December 12th and I’ve just started day 10 of my mosaic crochet Advent CALendar blanket. Maybe I’ll catch up a bit over the weekend 🧶

After a drizzly start, today’s pop of colour is the sky!
A clear blue sky behind the holly bush in my garden. There are still lots of red berries on the holly.

A bird just crashed into the window by the desk and made me jump. Flew off again so hopefully it’s ok 🤞

Not here much because

1. I work in the food industry
2. People like to eat stuff at Christmas
3. I’m still playing catchup with my Advent CALender crochet blanket

Today is 9th December and I’ve finished the first row of day 6. At this rate I might finish the whole thing by twelfth night
A strip of mosaic crochet blanket. There’s a strip of yellow with red circle shapes like baubles. Then a narrow white strip with grey Tetris shapes. Underneath is the magazine with the instructions.

Today’s pop of colour are these local organic heritage apples. I enjoy one most days when I’m walking Archie, they are absolutely delicious 😋
A tray of Tydesman’s late orange dessert apples. They have red patches and taste like a Cox. A train of very beautiful yellow and red Lord Lambourne eating apples.

December 8th and I’m part way through day 5 of my crochet advent calendar blanket. The wobbly edge and my perfectionism are not sitting well together
A strip of mosaic crochet blanket. Yellow with red baubles and some white rows above. And a very wobbly edge.
