Went into town this morning as the cheap shoe shop that does wide fitting shoes had said they would get a pair of shoes that I liked in black for me today. I called in at the craft shop on the way by as Sandra was busy getting ready for a class. She gave me the instruction sheet for last weeks session of the raggy quilt, I thought I had done everything but now have to trim all 42 squares by a quarter of an inch all round! Walking back I was watching the gulls and pigeons of a chimney a good way off. Had the less powerful camera with me but you could still make out the birds.

The shoes seem fine but I have only worn them indoors so far. I made a start on trimming before I went out again to the crochet afternoon. I have almost finished the second sleeve of the cardigan but think I will run out of wool before the edgings are done. Will go to the shop tomorrow and keep my fingers crossed they still have some. When I came home I made a start on the trimming!

The 'magic bean' is still growing and the leaves will maybe make an appearance tomorrow!

I have done a bit more calligraphy practice, have nothing in mind to write, but enjoying getting back into the swing. Will try and trim the rest of the squares tonight.
