Have you had your first Christmas card yet? We have.
Any minute now the neighbours will be out with their stepladders, hanging up the outdoor Christmas lights.
All together now - Bah! Humbug!

29 October: Dyed batts, and a close encounter?
First, Happy Birthday to OGS (Older GrandSon)!
Remember those carded batts piled up in my work-room? Well, some of them have been dyed -
The orange shades are particularly yummy. Each batt is quite small, about 30 gms, so I am now wondering whether to card several together to make a bigger skein of yarn; if so, which colours should I blend together; and then should I spin different coloured singles; and then how should I ply them together. So many options.
To change the subject completely, a couple of evenings ago, this vapour trail appeared over nearby houses -
Perhaps the pilot changed his mind about where he was going, or practicing the air equivalent of a handbrake turn, or perhaps the satnav was throwing a wobbler - or was it Visitors from Outer Space?
