Now it’s me under the weather so it has been another quiet day. We have recently discovered Mick Herron’s spy novels and are loving them! I’m onto the third in the series, ‘Real Tigers’, having read ‘Slow Horses’ and ‘Dead Lions’ on holiday.
Third in the series
I’ve made a start on knitting Snow Dog for Christmas for LiveWire B by special request. One ear, a tiny stripy sock is done and the body.
One ear!

1 The moon this morning, just at the start of dawn, was beautiful and if you look carefully, you can see the pink-tinged vapour trail of a plane as it catches the colour from the sunrise.

2 Here I offer you up a Carol Concert! These are some videos of our concert on Wednesday in Truro Cathedral, with many thanks to T and D. We start with a beautiful piece May This Room. Click on any red link to hear Claire Ingleheart’s three choirs singing in the Cathedral.
The Redruth Wassail follows, then Silent Night, Star of Bethlehem, Dona Nobis and finishing with Rolling Downwards.
I hope you enjoy these carols. We love singing them!
3 I have finished the Snow Dog! He has certainly been a challenge and a labour of love and I love him to bits. I hope Grand Baby T does too! For those of you able to get UK TV, the animation will be on Channel 4 at 7.30 on Christmas Eve.

1 Decorating is making progress. It will be beautiful in time…….
2 This amazing picture of an immaculate wood-stack in the shape of an owl came my way recently. I can’t imagine actually using any of the wood.
Beautiful owl woodstack
3 I started knitting the Snow Dog months ago but have put off the sewing up, my least favourite part of making anything. Today, in a break from painting the coving, I made a start. It’s hard!
