The second sleeve has now been cast off on Aunty Biscuits jumper.  This now just leaves the front, the neck and sewing up to do, hopefully this will be completed before the end of November, if not earlier.  It will of course depend on how long it takes her to find the 5.5mm needles that are currently mislaid somewhere safe.  I also am putting my money on her asking Mum to pick up the neck for her.  Mum meanwhile is continuing with the curtain making.  It had been curtailed as the correct shade of orange thread needed procuring and the light bulb had gone on the sewing machine.  It was necessary to dismantle the side of the sewing machine to establish that it takes a bayonet fitting bulb.  As both items have now been acquired and the bulb fitted, she is good to go.

I was somewhat smug earlier in the week when Harrier was in the frame for shredding a loo roll and scattering it all over the lounge floor.  I was known to be innocent as had been with Mum all the time from vacating the lounge to coming back and seeing the chaos.  Admittedly Harrier wasn’t caught in the act but history is against him on this.  Needless to say 

Well October has arrived so its time to review things from September.  There are still several apples to deal with and more to harvest.  These are likely to be eaten as is, dehydrated, made into apple crumble base and then frozen or made into apple sauce.  The mermaid tail is yet to be delivered due to lockdown but at least it is done.  The grey pony continues to practice his smiling and Harriers new hobby is going really well, he seems to have an eye for the unusual to put it mildly.  There are also still some potatoes to harvest as well.  I am also thrilled to announce that as yet no further spiders have invaded the house.  Aunty Biscuit is continuing well with her knitted jumper.  September has indeed been a busy and productive month and I suspect October will be similar.
