I love the Steven West socks. I don't have anything bright enough in my stash...hmm, I may have to buy some suitable yarn...

Honestly, this completely threw me, but I've been watching my replacement smart meter monitor. Not only does it show me what gas and electricity I'm using, it shows me when we're exporting solar! I am ridiculously excited by this. It's feckin' cold out but I'm still doing my bit for the environment.

Also I seem to have broken my four-month bout of knitter's block so my additional bit for the environment is huddling under a blanket I'm knitting while I'm knitting it...

I’m on hols in Norfolk UK and we’ve had rain, rain and rain plus high winds. The sight of bluebells in the woods and the off glimpse of sun on a deserted beach has helped my optimism. Your post has just lifted it further. Forecast for today is some sunshine, no rain and quieter winds - hurrah.

Your optimism seems to have worked wonders here in the Midlands, hopefully it works for you too and you get some sunshine!

My dog. I have a large golden doodle - think 95 lbs. Today's antic...I was on a zoom call and he decided to put to front half of himself in my lap. Just made me laugh!

Yarn came in the mail today so I’m smiling! I do have some sunshine here in Toronto though so that helps!

I think I’ll need an emotional support chicken to get me through this year!

I absolutely love that Sheryl Crow song! I'm definitely planning to make an Emotional Support Chicken or two. 😊

Waiting patiently for my shoulders to be healed then I can dive into my stash and create something colourful. Thank you for the suggestions
