I have a feeling this is gonna really take off and I’ll get to say I was a fan from the get-go!

Maybe, maybe. The internet is fickle so who knows.

Here by the sea, in Greater Wonderland/Paradise it is a Summer Weekend. The bikers have roared their way through the mountain passes, and are congregating on the Prom and the wind has dropped. So I would like to see Froggy posing in his leathers, or in a paddleboarder's wetsuit 😊

Oh goodness. That might take some making. Could be a while but I’ll start planning. Nudge me if I forget.

Oo, I will have to make a teeny tiny pencil for that, but yes! You’re on!

A pencil...for darning?

No, sorry that was meant to be a reply to Katherine.

Ah yes, a cut-down matchstick?

A cocktail stick will come ready pointed so probably that if I can find them in the kitchen. Otherwise probably a matchstick (bit chunky though) or some very thin dowels I have in my craft cupboard.

Good luck with finding the cocktail sticks - gone are the days of 'cheese-and-pineapple chunks'! Fortunately...

Mine only get used for growing avocados 😊

As for growing avocados, hubby tried and tried for years with the cocktail stick thing, they only ever went mouldy. Then ended up forgetting one on a plant pot, so soil, and it grew!

I think I have a few in the bottom of a drawer somewhere. I did like a good strong cheddar with pineapple atop of though, but then I’ve always been the weird one.

I love them! Surely we need a photo of Frogster writing a poem?

PS...I need to do Darning, on my favourite wool jumper, AND one of my TurtleDoves. I bet you'd know which style of darning to attempt, and have some tips? I have bought brightly-coloured darning wool...

Ah, sadly no. Not a darning person, I end up with knots and bumps all over the place. So now I just cobble together and surface embroidery something abstract over the top.

Yep, I plan to make it 'visible', but was hoping at least to be 'neat' - probably a vain hope, neatness is not my usp 😂

There are good YouTube videos on how to pick up stitches neatly etc. Neatness, in general, is not my usp either. Froggy is full of mistakes I’ve glossed over.
