I had enough left of the random yarn used for my cozy to work up a hat.

Doubleknitting for the band before starting the larger colourwork sections to avoid a turned-up brim.

Anyone notice that Speaker Johnson subtly dismissed Congress today so that they won't be in session on Friday?

Hmmm, anything big set to happen on Friday that might upset people?

On the 4th day of fossils, my true love gave to me...

A 4 toed amphibian track!

Batrachichnus is from the Carboniferous Mansfield Formation of southern Indiana. This is the name of the trace fossil because it's unknown exactly what animal produced it. The print is ~2cm long.

My first and most lasting memory of Rob Reiner is from an early acting appearance in a hilarious film called "Where's Poppa?". It was a small role but I've never forgotten it. Ruth Gordon and George Segal were the stars but Rob stuck in my mind. 1970 release date.

#AdventAngels in Sherborne Abbey, Dorset. I loved the experience of visiting this charming little town; somehow more manageable than being overwhelmed in a cathedral city!
