Episode 67: Overstimulated






Comments are welcomed! Either comment here or go to our group on Ravelry.

I have a YouTube channel "Doctor Gemma". Flash tips (1 minute or less) around surviving the pandemic and longer strategy discussions.

Buy Dr Gemma a Ko-Fi, if you're enjoying the podcast and feeling up to it. Remember that I am still working, though, so feel free to give the money to a charity instead.

I will NOT add you to any of my follower groups currently, due to robo-accounts. Please follow me here. You can contact me through our group on Ravelry or on this blog.

Hi Gemma lovely to hear from you again. You sounded a bit down and am so sorry about your Stitches plans having to be cancelled. A real act of love for your family. I was also very interested to hear that your cats out there have to be inside cats. Only logical when you talk about all the things that could get them but it had just never occurred to me. Interesting to hear how your managing Minerva’s behaviours too.I’m in Scotland and am definitely going to look out for those smiling dogs. My own dog gives me a half cock gangster grin when he wants to play. I used to wonder if he read my smiles as aggression when I showed him my teeth but were getting to know each other’s funny little ways. Stay strong as you always do Gemma and keep on podcasting. Much love. Sally
