And A Happy and Properous New Year to You All

The family have all gone home/back to work around the globe and I am staying on in Dundee with my sister, Dorothy, for a fortnight more. I spent yesterday changing heddles around on the 12 shaft loom . Very nervously done as it is a Leclerc with a tendency to deposit all the heddles on the floor. So each shaft's contents was carefully tied up before removal - and I did not have a single accident. One of the problems with Diverisfied Plain Weabve is that two thirds of the heddles have to be on Shafts 1 and 2 and so I have ended up with 220 each on those shafts. Today will be devoted to warping up. There is no incentive whatsoever to go out as it is terribly stormy. It has been quite a lot since I arrived in Dundee and I do not sleep well with bangings going on outside! All Dorothy's (very heavy) wooden chairs are strewn round the garden.

Dorothy keeps bees and the young werer all gungho to help. So this is (Left to right). Chris, middle grandson, Tom (eldest grandson), and Dorothy equipped with smoke device. Reports are that the bees are doing fine despite the rotten weather.

This is a photo of Anne's sushi prepared for our Christmas Eve dinner. We decided to have a Japanese meal and I did the main course. All went down very well.

And I have managed to get photos from my camera to Dorothy's computer and onto this blog asuccessfully!


Off to warp up now.
