Mahjong! Wow! we used to play this game lots but haven't done so for a very long time... Till Today!
This beautiful old Mahjong set was bought by David's grandmother way back in the 1920's, gosh more than 100 years ago, it was made in China.

Guess what Penniedarling got up to today!!!
Now let me tell you a funny story about Vegemite and a couple of American lads.
Back in 1984 we drove up to Burleigh Heads in our Albion Double Decker Bus not only with Nerys, Tomos, Briony and Gwilym but with Heather a young American friend, we spent several weeks enjoying our beautiful country. In a tent beside us at the campsite in Burleigh Heads were a couple of young American back packers, Chris and Tony. While chatting the conversation turned to how much these boys hated Vegemite! Well immediately 10 year old Tomos asked me to make my 'Crisps' (not mentioning the word Vegemite of course.) I made my 'Crisps' and shared them with everyone.
Chris and Tony loved my 'Crisps' to which all the kids jumped up and down in excitement saying... 'You're eating VEGEMITE, You're eating VEGEMITE!
Not long after we'd returned home Chris and Tony joined us and stayed for a week or more living in our Bus... the first thing they said was... do you have anymore of your Vegemite Crisps!! Yay!
Chris, Briony, Nerys, Heather and David.

Just Horrible! I'm so devastated and sad and angry with that new washing machine we have!
I've always managed to do a gentle woollen wash over the many years I've used washing machines but... these two new jumpers that I've knitted for myself this year are now just rubbish! Grrrrrrrrr! So angry, how did this happen??? Not me it must be the new washing machine that has a Woollens wash!
The beautiful wools on the left are described as 60% Wool, 20% Alpaca, 5% Silk, 15% Neps! What are Neps???
Okay I looked Neps up... (Neps are best described as dense, tangled clumps of short fibres of the fleece.)
I do so love the wools from these two, so soft and lovely to knit but... 😢
Here is the only photo I have enjoying my lovely soft knitted cardie!
