@NoWordForFluffy

Crazy, bamboo for me. I find my 12 inch a bit big sometimes. I've got a 10 inch upstairs, but haven't used it yet. I must get it out.

Speaking of inches...that bloody Viagra ad is on again. I detest whimsicalling of songs!

FLUFFY !!!! Grin it reads like 50 shades Grin

Cheese and crackers is a good call, Crazy. I have krackerwheat crackers from when I had constant nausea, and some nice mature cheddar... Mmmm...

whydoesitalwayshappentome · 18/07/2020 22:33

I find the viagra ad really annoying for many reasons Mrs.

Mrsmadevans · 18/07/2020 22:34

Fire l love Krakerbreads , it's the little bits of salt on the top l love Smile

Mrsmadevans · 18/07/2020 22:36

I don't think l have seen it tbh Why , l don't tend to watch live TV much

NoWordForFluffy · 18/07/2020 22:47

I'd definitely say that the 12 inch is more than a handful. I find it a bit flappy, and if you need to do something intricate in the middle it can be hard to grip well enough.

I definitely need to go to bed. Fluffy's last post just seemed weird 😂

NoWordForFluffy · 18/07/2020 23:10

😂😂😂

I'm going to bed too. I need a Piriton first though as I've gone really itchy.

I've gone back to the big cross stitch tonight.

Good night everyone 😀

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 18/07/2020 23:31

I was out clearing brambles and bindweed from the garden today , walked up to check how my bread was doing (very nicely was the answer) and I got a fly in my EYE

I thought it would go into the corner like a pesky eyelash but it went up under my my top eyelid .

I think its still in there eurgh .
I know it will be dead by now , the blinking will have crushed it and the enzymes in my tears will protect my eyeball (I;m a fecking awful vegetarian Xmas Blush )
It won't burrow into my brain ( Yeah thanks DS for planting that idea ) !

If it's not cats hair it's tiny flies . ,

MarshmallowManiac · 19/07/2020 00:33

Cross stitch coming on well Fluffy, night night everyone Smile

Themostwonderfultimeoftheyear · 19/07/2020 06:37

Great work fluffy :)

Here is mine.

Love the one you have ordered Crazy!

We're going kayaking today. Well I'm not. Bil's both have one so we're meeting them at the harbour so they can take the dc out. We're taking disposable bbqs. Hopefully we won't get rained on.... can't say I'm looking forward to sitting outside in the cloud I was hoping it would be sunny so I could sunbathe which is much more my thing Grin

Morning!

70, how big a fly?! I swallow them on a semi-regular basis!

Wreck, enjoying watching the kayaking. I probably wouldn't go if I wasn't joining in!

We're off to the wetlands again so they can have a good play on the playground. Should be fun (for them!). I'll enjoy the walk round.

DH will be annoyed if I don't go I think. Plus will get eye rolls from the rest of the family. I'm just going for the food, will take coffee with me and take lots of photos for you Grin

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 19/07/2020 08:12

Ahh fluffy it was resting in the corner of my eye this morning - mangled - so its out . Body about 3mm long so teeny but enough to be an annoyance .

Wreck will the DC enjoy the kayaking ? Take a brolley and guard the BBQ , hopefully it'll brighten up later .

Drizzle here so I'm glad I got the gardening done . I was going to burn some stuff but one of the NDN had a Party/BBQ so didn't seem right to smoke them.

Have a goood day .........were're into the 10's now Xmas Grin

Mrsmadevans · 19/07/2020 08:26

Morning everyone 😀
Wreck l think you will enjoy yourself watching them , it sounds like fun 😃
70 hate flies , worst is when they go up your nose 😂
Fluffy your day sounds perfect 😁. Enjoy 😃
Off to MumBobs in a bit 😃

Mrsmadevans · 19/07/2020 08:28

Most love your cross stitch well done! 😃

WreckTangled · 19/07/2020 09:05

70 I think so. It's not meant to rain here but nearer the coast it might. I'm taking coffee!

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 19/07/2020 10:07

were're into the 10's now

That should read "We're in the 150s now"

Haven't fallen asleep and lost 4 months Xmas Grin

NoWordForFluffy · 19/07/2020 10:08

It's gorgeous here today! Not hot, but lovely all the same.

Oh that looks like one of those Estate Agent photoshopped skies .
You know the ones - autumn leaves on the tree , or when you look on StreetView the whole road looks grim.
But Number 47 has azure sky and big fluffy marshmallow clouds Xmas Grin that purely by co-incidence happen to be the same sky/cloud in every other listing ....

NoWordForFluffy · 19/07/2020 10:24

😂😂😂

It's definitely not photoshopped. And it's warming nicely too. ☀️ ☀️

Cross stitches are looking great Fluffy and most

I'll get on and order a 10 inch hoop I think.

Wreck I have my fingers crossed the weather holds for you.
