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 Dr G so sorry neither you not Blankets is up to full steam. You said in your podcast ‘this is dreadful, I’m just moaning.’ Not at all. You’re sharing and helping me through my horrible housework. You feel like a friend if that doesn’t sound too pathetic on my part. I guess we have been together a while. At one time I went back to listen to your old episodes and I think you perhaps had removed the ones that spoke about your horrible experiences at the hands of the staff in the prison but I remember being shocked by them. So glad that’s all in the past and your a stronger woman for it. Much love and hoping you feel better very soon. Your old friend (70 this year), TST
