Today luckily started with less panic than yesterday. Yesterday my alarm clock didn’t go off, and I ran round like a headless chicken trying to get ready to go out. This morning the alarm clock seemed to have got over its tantrum, and I set the iPod alarm too just to be on the safe side.

The weather today has been beautiful, hot and sunny, but with a bit of a breeze. We have been back at base working hard (in amongst enjoying the sun). Today has been continuing with the patchwork knitting, and also starting some Bavarian twisted stitches. Here we are concentrating hard.

Some people have been making patchwork knitted slippers, some patchwork cushion covers, some have started a twisted stitch beret, and some have been experimenting with samples of different twisted stitches. Everyone has achieved a huge amount, I have been very impressed. Here is some of the knitting so far.

We are going out for dinner tonight so I had better prise myself out of my prime wi-fi-ing spot on the covered patio outside our cottage (it’s a hard life!) and put on my (moderately) posh togs.
