WOYWW 638

 Good morning, At last some respite from the hot and humid weather. Not much to show again but I am doing a wee bit of knitting/crocheting. When looking in my stash for wool came across these squares so decided to sewing together and hey presto another blanket, will take it with me to my knitting group this morning and finish off the border. Do hope I can find someone going to the UK shortly who will take all my charity knits. Only wish I could find somewhere in Spain for them all. 


I am still working on the other blanket yes same colours/wool must have been a bargain lot when I purchased it. It has grown another two or three rows.


And finally the moon this morning I look at the mountains and see the moon on its way to bed, then look at the sea to see the sun rising. Except today it is cloudy over the sea and the sun is behind them.


Have a lovely week, and if you are wondering what this is all about, then just go to visit Julia at Stamping ground to discover this great bunch of people.

WOYWW 637 18th August 2021

 Good morning from a sweltering Spain.

No desk or work to show this week and below is the reason  why. Just too hot to do anything no cooking, cleaning etc. Hopefully temperatures will begin to fall this next week. The trouble with living on the coast is the high humidity.



QC says hi it's been a while since she has sat by the computer. She is now over 16yrs and is certainly feeling the heat this year. Only goes out about 10pm for a wander then back inside.


So that is me for this week weather permitting there will be something to show next week. Sorry ladies.
Hope you all have a good week.

WOYWW 636

 Good morning ladies,


Not much on my desk again this week, it is just too hot to work and very hot temperatures forecast again from today. I have done some more of the jigsaw as that is under my ceiling fan and along with a standing fan I can stay cool. Note the talcume powder top right corning I had to put in on my arms and hands because the pieces kept sticking to me. I laugh sometimes at all the cosmetic goods that are involved in craft making, from baby wipes to makeup sponges and even shaving foam.


A little more crocheting has taken place but again it is too hot. Sorry the photos are great but taken early this morning and it isn't light here until 7.15am Yes that's my morning coffee.



Will now go to join our host Julia atstamping ground if you want to see what WOYWW is all about then just follow the link.

WOYWW 635

 4th August

Hello Ladies, I am now back home for a few weeks. It is so lovely to see my daughter and son in law so often now that they are living in Spain. Although 2 hours away from me it is nothing on our roads around here. I suddenly realised she is the only family I have now and we were slowly drifting apart with only one visit per year. They are really settled here and love their new life in the sun.

And boy has it been in the sun this last month. 

So the reason why we are here WOYWW well in my case nothing much so what's new I hear you ask, but I have been doing a little crocheting a new single bed cover but using up wool I already have and of course the jigsaw.

This brings back memories of childhood reading. I thought it would be easy but no unless I am losing my experience at jigsaws.


This crocheting doesn't seem to grow fast but then there are 175 to a row and perhaps with the heat it is a good thing.

I really must start to think about the C word this time last year I had them all done thanks to lockdown. This year nada.

Life moves on here in Mojacar but we wonder if things will ever get back to the normal we had. Lots of Spanish holiday makers around but not many British and of course our cases are on the increase. We can only be careful and sensible and hope for the best.

Now to join with the famous WOYWW that our dear friend Julia runs, (that's if I can remember how. I have been reading your contributions over the last few weeks but it isn't easy on my little phone and commenting with my fat fingers nearly impossible. Call me old fashioned but I do like my desktop.
