Mundane News

Thank for your help so far with the translation of a knitting pattern. I have come to the conclusion that it is a very complex pattern, so I do not need a translation of the other paragraph of the pattern. Thank you for the offer.

I use Ravelry a lot for free patterns, and have bought some from there as well.

I think it is English Rib with lots of increases, wraps and decreases.

The whole point my knitting, is that when I sit down in the evening with The Patient, whose television preferences are often the opposite of mine, I can knit something fairly straightforward. He likes endless repeats of Heartbeat, Call the Midwife and Police Interceptors. This evening is a repeat of a Vera, which I do not mind.

It’s wild, wet, windy and flooded round here. Got an hour in, in what I thought was a lull (it wasn’t)

I have just spoken to the Boiler expert opposite. He finds it difficult to believe that a spike in the electricity supply would damage the circuit board. There is a fuse in the supply to the boiler.

I won't say much more until I have requested a paper report from the manufacturer and spoken to the Installer.

How mundane

How mundane

It was far from mundane to have no heating or hot water in the house for five days over Christmas.

If the pattern in question is a Rav free one, post a link to it and I'll have a look and tell you if your conclusion is accurate!

I think that the worst of Storm Thingie has passed through. It wasn't too bad when I left work, but it suddenly hit when i was on the open bit of the commute and at one point I was hardly moving forward despite being on the ebike and on assist level 2 of 3. I've even had to turn the sound up on the TV due to the wind noise.

A joke on the fact this is the mundane news thread

 

[tyred]

Did I read that thread title correctly ?
The Weather Where are You ?
With this wind you could end up anywhere!

If you're not sure where you ended up, look around for a little girl called Dorothy with a dog called Toto and she can help you get home.

Nearly there, I'll finish the top left tomorrow. First time in many years to do a jigsaw, I bought it in a charity shop (unopened) because I loved the picture! Probably as close as I'll ever get to owning an MG T series.

It is on Lovecrafts which is similar to Ravelry.

There was a good piece on the local news about a WW1 memorial for America which is being cast in bronze in Stroud. It is huge ! It's nice to know that we can still make things.

Thank you for making that. I recall fondly three elder uncles who were in that one.

And of course you all can still make things. People who tell me Great Britain is no longer great can kiss my arse. Same stuff I hear in The States, about ourselves. Wishful thinking from foreign actors who use our media, and our politicians, to promote their agendas.

Whew! I've finally surfaced from working with those drawings all afternoon & evening. I didn't delve into the IMechE archive in the end - I decided to finish the initial catalogue instead. Which I have. Bar a handful of drawings that are too faded to decipher and some "back of a fag packet" sketches that I need to do with a clear head if I've any hope of identifying them.

I did have a lovely luncheon of a chunk of Melton Mowbray pork pie, some wholemeal toast, sliced roast pork, cheese and an assortment of fruit. And two of course. A tasty supper too, of turkey, vegetable & barley soup, then sliced avocado on toast with fried eggs on top, plus some button mushrooms and roast baby plum tomatoes.

Am now going to have a nice relaxing remainder of the evening. And maybe finish watching "The Nutcracker" - which I started watching yesterday. A dose of fit blokes prancing around in tights to some nice music is just what I need, I think.
