Ma has cast on a New Year.
Last time she took seriously to knitting was in 2013 when she packed in the ciggies.
I wasn’t around then as you know but I understand that for weeks the needles were clicking at a tremendous rate and she hardly spoke to a soul. Had to concentrate!!
She found an inspirational pattern a few weeks ago and bought all the wool last week so now she’s off!!
This time she is cutting the alcohol back to 250ml of wine a day or two cans of beer that may seem a lot to y’all but it’s essentially half of her usual intake.
She is also limiting post dinner eating to a small desert rather than a bucket full of nachos or chips that are usually followed by chocs and bikkies!
It’s a shame because she was always quite generous at sharing these delights with me and the niece except of course the chocs that are toxic!
She has become way too chubby and she can’t get into many of her pretty clothes so she’s taking action.
She has been psyching herself up to this for weeks so of course every choc in the house had to be eaten except an extra special box’s from auntie Alicia next door that has been hidden away for her birthday weekend.
Please think of me and Nala and Dad and the bro as we endure this new cottage industry and are forced to watch the entire series of Allo Allo!!!
