I want to puke!!!!...........and should hubby ever learn how to turn on a computer and read this......IT'S NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN!!

Jeanne, I hope my hubby continues to work for many years past retirement, if only part time.......he can never 'just be' and gets cranky when he has 'nothing to do' on his days off.

Oh no, I've done a similar thing with the TV remote control!

That's so funny, but a little too close to the truth for comfort.

I've regularly confused the remote with the cordless telephone as both are black and a similar size;.

My MiL has made this mistake too. She also tries to turn the TV channels over using a torch...when it doesn't work she thinks the batteries in the TV remote control are flat.

I don't know how many of you follow podcasts, but I thought I'd share a great discovery I made at the start of the year.  There is a lively community of knitters, spinners, dyers and knitwear designers in the States, many of whom share their passion for yarn and knitting in fascinating conversations via the internet.  For those who have never listened to a podcast, it's like listening to the radio—which, of course, is great company if you're working with your hands and on your own.  There is a podcast app on the iPhone, or you can look up iTunes or Stitcher and follow your favourite shows that way.  My current favourites are Actually Knitting, The Backstage Knitting Podcast, The Yarniacs and Two KnitLit Chicks, although you can find more using the search feature.  Also, I recommend subscribing to the podcasts you like so that the latest episode will be automatically downloaded to your smart phone.  Podcasts have changed my entire knitting experience by expanding my awareness of how yarns and patterns are produced, who exactly supports the industry and how much enthusiasm there is for using our craft to do good in the world.

Hi Leanne thank you for this. I am familiar with podcasts but didn't know about the programms you mentioned. Sounds good!  I listen to the radio too while crafting, watching TV is too much for my eyes. One eye 10% sight, the other one is fine but I have to take care. My good eye has to work hard, beside that, radio is relaxing. Thank you so much, wish you a wonderful day, hugs for you and hugs for your sweet guide dog xoxo
