No Excuse

-
Just lazy I guess. Since I last wrote I did finished the blue pair going to Quesnel and started the second pr also going to Q.
Last Christmas time I recieved a leather bag in the mail from an anonymous source, never did find out who sent it, and a week ago a second bag arrived also from an uknown source, different from the first. Its extra large and will make an excellent overnight bag.
I did get to the October Nicola Valley Spin In, held in Merritt, BC. Was a very good time especially getting to see my BC family. Roomed with Gail and Vicki, in a way to small room at the Comfort Inn in Merritt. When we do it again in May will make sure I get a bigger room with more than two double beds. Didn't know my pix was underway.
Not much else worth writing about. Winter is on its way and I'm well stocked on yarn, groceries and such. Produce is about all I wish for.

    I was really worried about you. Glad to know you are o.k. and still knitting and spinning.

    Good to hear from you again. Was beginning to think that you were on a very long trip or not feeling well.
    Glad you are still getting out while the weather is good for travel. We are celebrating Thanksgiving today in the U.S. and are having a beautiful day - beautiful blue sky and 40 degrees F. I'm thankful for so many things
    including knitters like you that I follow on line.

    Nice to see you're still hale & healthy. Wondered a bit when you 'disappeared' - so many bloggers are just signing off after years of writing. Your latest socks are really nice - love that shade of blue! What a great bag!!! How are the bears this year, have they finally gone to bed???

4 more pair on needles, work on each for at least 10 rows every other day before putting it down. Blue pair is farest along and have everything ready for sock #2. Blue pair will be identical all the others fraternal. A couple of nights ago bout 9pm saw a blue heron land in tree just south of the house, watched it preen for some time and when it was to dark for a pix 2 more landed in tree beside the first. Same day saw a kingfisher dive towards the river. Bear activity has cooled down, assume they are over at the Chilko River system fishing for salmon. Last black I saw was just its backside as it headed for the west fence got a quick pix but not worth posting. Nothing much happening in my wild mountain valley these days, some ranchers have finally been able to start cutting hay, and everyone else is hoping for rain. So many bad fires in BC again this season.

Friday Jan. 5

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

Grizzlies

May 30th had a visiting grizzly complete with two yearling cubs, camera at hand got 3 pix before she and cubs wandered off. 2023 season off to a good start, 2 blacks and 3 griz in my yard. Sock knitting continues as always, pix of latest finished pair of Monstersocks. As soon aas they were finished started another pair using a midnight blue Hawthorne from Knit Picks, but instead of Monstersocks am going back to old standby fair-nordic patterns, dk blue will be main colour then orange, med gray, red and white for the patterns. Fairly conservative for my knitting. Went into town on Monday, oil change, checked in at Speedy Glass about a new windshield (come back in a week), picked up my new glasses, then a motel for the night. Tuesday had dentist appointment at 9 am, think its the last for a while, then renewed ICBC (license plate and insurance for another year), picked up some groceries and lastly Kal Tire where I finally got winter tires off my Subie (they go back on October 1).
