Morning folks, haras ..would you like to rethink the first one ? Well done twix, everybody well ?

[haras2]

OK
Try not to panic answer is the way to go!

[seekeerz]

Definitely !! I used to ‘play’ archery many moons ago and having a knot in my bow wasn’t one of the things it needed !!

Well done twix

Good evening Steff. I'm well thanks, although Mrs. T is still suffering from confusion probably caused by the effects of Covid. At least I'm now managing to get out to meet up with my pals on a Friday evening. How are you, and how is that very changeable weather at the moment, it sounds to be very inconsistent from your weekly comments?!

Hi twix ….sorry to hear Mrs T is still not well, it can take a while to throw off the last dregs I believe, so far I’ve managed to escape, though it’s getting closer :(

Our weather is doing it’s own thing, as it always does, I’m glad I don’t live on the eastern seaboard, that is extreme.
One cannot depend on anything where the weathers involved, makes planning anything outdoors very tricky !!

'knot' is in the clue for 32a?

[seekeerz]

Sorry, tearinghair..my knits and knits in a tangle again :(

[tearinghair]

Sorry to be a (k)nit-picker! Knitting is much in my mind at the moment; my daughter has been a knitwear designer for many years, but has spent the last nine months in hospital following emergency brain surgery so I may have a lot of wool to use up. She is due to move to a nursing home shortly.
