Good morning!

It’s a very different morning today - all yellows and pinks rather than grey.

@Jaden2 I think I’d go back to London. I miss it quite a bit sometimes.

@Jaden2 at the moment I live in a village with about 400 people in it. It’s nice but when I go back to London… well there’s something very special about it.

I think I’ll do the thing again for 2023.

Starting on the 20th December I’ll be posting things I made in each month (20th = Jan, 21st = Feb etc.) all the way through to 31st December (31st = Dec).

It’s nice to look back at the what you’ve created over the year and it breaks up the time between Christmas and the start of 2024!

Please feel free to use the hashtag and toot all the lovely things you made in 2023! But if it’s just me, that’s ok too! 😁

    @NatureMC so every year, John Lewis releases its Christmas advert (it’s a department store) and I love them!

    This is my favourite, a proper little tear jerker - https://youtu.be/cjPXhTCngfk?feature=shared

    Latest crochet commission from Littlest is a giant Smoliv.

    Here’s a not-so-giant prototype. Getting there…

    Day one of covid and I can definitely say I don’t like it. It’s rubbish. Zero energy. Stayed in bed all day, dozed and dreamed about carrier pigeons.

    You know how sometimes something will just ping into your head and have make it because the idea made you smile?

    Well, here’s my “cryptic cross stitch”.

    I checked, and I don’t think there are any mistakes, but they’ll be obvious and fixable when the whole thing is solved.

    Not sure how easy / hard this is to solve… 🤔

    @Jaden2

    I like to go out and take a picture of something, anything, that strikes me as interesting. Shadows; brightly coloured things; contrasting things - anything! The trick is that by doing this more and more your mind switches off of worrying and focuses on everything around you. Takes a bit of conscious practice, but it works for me.

    Or I make stuff! 😊

    @Jaden2

    During lockdown(s) there was a group of us that did it (on the bird site) led by a fantastic chap who encouraged us all to get out there and then share what we’d seen. That’s what got me into doing it.

    Ministers warn English councils not to adopt four-day working weeks

    The council has said its continuing trial of the practice, in which office staff and bin collectors are paid the same for working 20% fewer hours, has already helped it improve recruitment and led to over £500,000 in savings on agency workers.

    The cruelty as always, appears to be the point, since evidence shows it saves money.

    @Tattooed_mummy

    I love that they’re trialling this.

    But some of the Blue voters in the area are not happy - grumbling about how it shows that a better work-life balance can be achieved with lower rates of sickness and higher rates of retention, maintaining (or improving) levels of service whilst not making people poorer. 🤷‍♀️
