At last Yally has managed to send me the yarn she dyed with Koolaid. This was part of her Easter present but she has never learnt to wind wool by hand so she sent it to me to wind on my wool winder. The colour reminds me of hot sticky summer days from my childhood and the ice lollies that dyed our tongues and lips. I'm amazed that something like this is still given to children to drink in America. I hope she knits some socks or gloves with it - I really like the colour as a yarn dye.
Also in my parcel was a Harry Potter book and her old iPod Mini which she no longer needs having just bought an all singing all dancing model. I'm so happy.
The gardening contractors have just called, they are beginning work next Tuesday, I must get into the garden this week and rescue the few plants I want to save and as many tadpoles as possible to be transferred to the new pond.
