Unprepared

The things one has in one's hot little mitts when one doesn't have a spindle handy! And I love the possum/merino blend yarn.

Thank you all for your condolences on Nanna's passing. The funeral in Wagga was small without fuss - she would have approved. I'm very glad I won't have to delivery any more eulogies for grandparents.

Ever read Colin Thiele's 'Sun on the Stubble'? Opening chapter was an account of a 12yo(ish) boy catching a possum. Hilarious!

Sorry to hear that you won't have excuses to visit the Riverina again; I enjoyed your trips through the dusty west. I'm glad that your Nan's passing was so quick and that everyone had a chance to see her before hand. Thoughts are with you.

Now that's one thing I've never done - delivered an eulogy at a funeral. I've sung at a few but that's not the same - generally the people weren't closely related to me.

Take care and grieve appropriately; that is, don't bottle it all up inside. [A message from one who's been there!]

I was wondering dear Taph - whether you are interested in a barter. I have picked up a number of bags of angora (I think) fleece - black and white from a garage sale. I was wondering whether you would like to keep some to spain for yourself, if you would run it through your big round carding machine for me???
