Life is so funny, I have not mentioned the word darning for many, many years and I ddi that on this blog recently. When you speak the word the action seems to follow, very weird. Serendipity I believe. So please be careful of what you speak LOL. My favourite grey socks developed a hole in the heel , I just noticed it last night. Could not find the right wool so I used some left over from Ione's socks. Now my grey socks have a red mixed blend spot on the heel. It definitely was not my best darning job but then I have not darned for decades. For some odd reason I like it :>)
When I first married Ray his brother said to me "Nan I want you to mend my sock" "Not going to happen" said I. "What do you do when Ray gets a hole in his sock? I throw them out and buy new ones. He was not impressed but I was not impressed with his manner of asking either LOL> That was in the 70s.
Enough about darning, definitely not a hot topic LOL.
A real hot topic is the cataclysmic oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. My concerns are for the families of the men who were killed on the oil rig and for the beds of oysters and clams that may be totally killed off, for the sea creatures and sea birds in the Mississippi delta and surroundings . It is horrendous. I wonder what the federalgovernment can do to help . Can the military do anything to cap the well?
Can the rest of the world be of assistance?
Sorry to day no quilting today. I am in a slump for some unknow reason. I think that happens to a lot of quilters and crafters. But I did take the Hallowe'en topper out and lay it on the table to see if it fits there :>)) and it does!!
Tomorrow we have to leave early for Ray to go to the specialist and then we have to stay out while the elevators are being serviced. I can't handle the stairs to the third floor any more.
Stay well folks. Have a great evening and a good night's sleep :>()
