Streaming an erupting volcano, and having wistful thoughts about that year when an Icelandic volcano threatened that year's Camp Sparkle—but we won, for we actually went to Camp in a pink limo.

For any Ravelry users who are having problems with the new site design that are driving you off the site, there is a list of possible alternatives here. Indeed, for anyone contemplating abandoning Ravelry because of the attitude displayed there, maybe it will be useful for you, too.

I watched quite a bit of the COVID announcement programme on the Beeb this afternoon. Prince Charles is a really unappealing man, isn't he, and unsurprisingly devoid of charisma. Boris needs to be actually dragged through a haystack instead of merely looking as though he had been dragged through one, then strapped down and dealt with by means of a nice Wahl head-strimmer. For Christ's Sake, man, if you can't do something about your hair, wear a hat.

This is all very trivial, but I am cranky tonight. I was supposed to get a call from the GP to discuss my revised Metformin prescription, but there was no call. I dare say it will interrupt our double exercise session tomorrow.

In better news, I have completed the first half of the garment I am knitting for my sister's birthday. Which is on Easter Monday. Eek.

You outmaneuvered a volcano! Well done.

And congrats on your knitting progress! May the second half come together easily.

Well do I remember my fretting, at the time! Having booked a large limousine, I *really* wanted all our Europeans to be able to turn up, and there was a lot of fuss about ash, and many flights were cancelled. But it all calmed down in time, thank goodness.

I'm about half-way through the first section of Side Two, so progress is looking good.

I keep having a look at that volcano stream over the last few days. It's very compelling though was amazed when I saw some people getting close at one point. I'd be nowhere near it!

Boris' hair is ridiculous, he often looks like he's been plugged in before entering the room.

Hope the GP phoned eventually. Sometimes they seem to forget people can't spend all their times waiting for a call.

I'm still so sad I missed the pink limo!

Easter Monday is still over a week away, you can do it!! *waves encouraging pompoms*
