We saw our dear friend off on the train this morning after a fabulous and very busy week and were not surprised to see that Hector, the Station Cat, was wisely in the office this wild and windy morning!

We have spent the day indoors listening to the hoolie blowing outside and watching the blue in our Sailor’s barometer get higher and higher.

I have had a spare couple of Twiddle Muffs after making more than were needed last year, so A has taken them home with her, one for a mutual friend and another for her Singing for the Brain group where it should find a good home.

What is a twiddle muff? Like mittens without fingers?

It’s something used with dementia patients, a woolly muff knitted in yarns of different textures and with lots of fiddly bits and pieces inside and out – button, plaits, pockets, toggles etc – for the patient to fiddle with. I’m told that playing with one brings a calming effect. 🙂

Thanks! I’d never heard the term before . . . but I do picture dementia patients fiddling (or twiddling) with buttons, etc. So it makes sense. And nice of you to do for them.
