A little of this and a Little that

This morning I woke up fed the dogs and cats and got the slow cooker going. Spaghetti sauce. All I’ll have to do is cook the noodles 

Then off I went to meet the girls for coffee. 

While there i also did a grocery shop. Oh my but prices really have skyrocketed. 

I don’t go as often these days and I really did get shock. 

I’m very grateful to be able to grow vegetables, get meat off the paddock and, the most important right now, fresh eggs. 

With all the bird flu eggs are becoming a scarce commodity. They have even put restrictions on how many you can buy 

Once I got home groceries were put away
The washing from yesterday was brought in and folded. The bonus of hanging them under cover means they’re safe overnight and still dry 

After all that I sat down to continue knitting and watching the new, to me, series Vikings 





It’s finally starting to look like a cardigan 
The pattern has it with short sleeves but I am contemplating knitting full length sleeves. 

I’ll decide when I’ve finished the body 

I’m glad i changed the colour and yarn. This colour looks so much nicer. 
I’m also very glad I persisted with the pattern. It’s really pretty. 

I’m so happy to be knitting for a little one once again. I honestly thought those days were behind me. 

Just goes to show you. You really never know what the universe has in store for you

  1. You're lucky having chickens and the garden. Eggs are still quite cheap here. Touch wood. But groceries are getting more and more expensive even with careful shopping.
    I love the pattern on the cardigan. It's looking lovely. Exciting to be knitting for a new young one 😍

    1. Hopefully you don’t get the bird flu and your eggs remain plentiful. Easter is coming

  3. Those Vikings are part of my ancestry in the north of England. I wonder if I should watch or not!

    1. If your not a fan of blood, violence or sex scenes. I’d give it a miss.
