Start of November

The local King Parrots have been visiting us.... this is Mr


... and this is Mrs.... there are a couple of Mrs's so not sure who is with who!!



They were coming in to the little veranda and leaving rather a few too many calling cards so we have set up a little feeding area we can watch.

They still come in and sit on the chair and shout if there is no seed there for them.


I missed a couple of my regular outings this week but caught up with my blackwork



... and Janice has shown me a rabbit hole to go down!!

I've had the pad of papers for some time with a plan to do it in Blue French Generals.  I know I can't keep up with the Stitchalong but I will start cutting as I find some time...

It's a lovely distraction


I am still knitting blocks for KOGO, but have started a little baby blanket in crochet as I do enjoy that in the evening....


Righto, Gotto Go...... time to get the evening meal cooked.... Spaghetti Bolognese with cheese on top...

Have a lovely weekend....xx

Enjoy that evening meal, I quite like spag bol - especially with lots of cheese! King parrots are beautiful, and very cheeky.

King parrots are gorgeous. How nice to have them visit. I’m glad you are starting to prep the Wensleydale Quilt. It is not a race, so enjoy the process.

Those King Parrots are really striking Fiona. I well remember - from visiting my Aunt in Victoria - the wonderful birdlife you have over there. So he is a Polygamist - with more than one wife !!? 😉 Your projects all look lovely but that blue crochet is stunning 💙

What's with the birds in Australia? First you had a magpie coming into the house and now, the parrots are using your place as a restaurant! You'll go birdy with all those feathers around, lol.
It will much easier to make the Winsleydale quilt with the papers. Love the crochet project. Enjoy! ;^)

Lovely to have the birds visit but I know what you mean about their calling cards ! Not nice.
Yes it's a beaut Stich-a-long but I'm happy to watch you all.
Another two nice Blackwork done and the blue and white crocheted blanket will be lovely.
Bet you enjoyed your Spag Bog!!!!

I had a giggle - the Squirrel has visited your house too!! The parrots are beautiful colours, nice to have them visiting the garden. Lovely blackwork. Your crochet looks lovely.

Lovely bright exotic birds, fun to watch I am sure. Some more lovely blackwork and pretty crochet. Looking forward to seeing the different colourways of the Wensleydale coming to life. xx

I do enjoy seeing the parrots. I think mine must be friends with yours because they always squawk at me, too, when they want something.
The blue and white looks gorgeous in the crochet baby blanket.
Don't get lost down that rabbit hole.
