Crazy June

-
Everything that could happen in June did. Ongoing issues with toilet (not flushing), so started with Rob local plumber in to run the snake thru the system to see if that might help, it didn't. So new toilet ordered. That covered first part of June . June 16th had several bumps removed from my arm at the clinic in Tatla Lake, disolving stitches inside and abunch outside. Then not making smartest decision that I'd ever done drove straight to Merritt, good bit of bleeding involved. June 17-18 was the Nicola Valley Spin In in Merritt, a really good time. Karen B and Shelia Kirk taking on the problems of the world.
Drove back home on the 19th, with a bunch if groceries in board. Harris girl unloaded the car in minutes. 20th saw a sow black bear with two tiny this years cubs.
21st Rob installed new toilet, working well again. Cutting it close. 22nd my brother Mike and wife Sheila arrived (they are from Virginia and their first trip to my place). Think maybe he was enamoured with the peace and quiet and of course the mountain views. Selfie taken down at Tatlayoko Lake.
They left the 27th after taking care of some business in Wms Lk that needed his and mine signatures. Both after a long haul developed Covid (bad air on 3 different planes). So that was what my June looked like. Mike and Sheila with new socks (just happened to have socks that fit, yeah right).

    Thank you for the update. As always, I love the bear pictures. It was fun to also see the landscape in the selfie of your relatives. Very beautiful picture.

Finally got myself to town Dec. 27-28. Prescriptions, haircut, groceries, and most important getting bank Visa problems straightened out. Tried dealing with bank via telephone and both times I connected got someone that wouldn't acknowledge that I was hard of hearing, heavy accents didn't help. Had 7 charges for Play Station almost $1000, since I've never even seen one, wasn't me . Because of all the weird charges they wouldn't activate the new Visa card. A good weather window opened so in I went, took almost an hour getting everything straightened out. Meanwhile when I did get to the grocery store almost filled my buggy with produce and fruit. Had help unloading the car when I got home Thursday 3 ish. Did bring a nasty bout of the local crud home with me, first time in several years that a cold hit me so hard.  One of the first pair of Koigu gloves I did were for me, but last winter I snagged middle finger on a nail on my handrail, brought them up front, cut off da...

Gloves and such

In 2015 I sent Jean Miles in  Edinburgh a surprise pair of the gloves I'd been working on while rereading her blogs, first pix one taken at her place. Second taken while dressed in woolies to go on an recent outing.                       Orangerinos all finished waiting for a dip thru a Eucalan bath.  Current pair started with a base colour of turquoise, leftover Koigu choices are getting a bit thinner but still have enuff to finish this pair. When I first started saving Koigu it could be had for $9 a skein, now  I believe its over $16 US (means almost $21 Canadian, plus crazy post from wherever it comes from). Also have socks on needles, this is one of the last pair ordered (ahem a couple of years ago), no pix yet as I believe they are to be a surprise. For the most part this winter has  been verra mild, right now there isn't any snow, none. According to weather peoples we are due for another blast of arctic a...

More Socks

 Long time.  Made these for a  lady  in  Banff,  she chose the colours. When I sent a pix she said she didn't like  where and how I'd placed the colours in the patterns. Slowly I replied. Then she said when I knit the next pair to put this colour with another etc, again  slowly (burn underway)  I told her that it didn't work that way.  Wouldn't do another, so she said she'd take them the way they were with a discount.  Honey, to late sold them elsewhere. And I 'm glad I don't take any  money  up front. Fraternal and size 10. Have come really close to making the ugliest Monstersocks, bottom pix are closest so far. Was without the internet from 15 - 29 April, amazing how  much  knitting time that freed up. Did the  3 pair shorties in  that  time frame, mix and match.  All are the same number of rows approx sized 7.5 to 8.5.   Next pair  were to fill an older order. Spring has finally s...
