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.

Something I Really Like:

Put a Lid on It:
London Fog Tea Latte:
1 Earl Grey teabag or equivalent loose tea
3 drops stevia liquid
2 Tbsp heavy cream
Add all but the cream to a goodly-sized mug. I use about 12 or 16 ounces hot water.
Steep 5 minutes.
Add cream.
Whiz in a bullet blender or with a frotherfor a burst or 2.
Enjoy and save a few bucks over Starbucks.
Blather:
Rainy weekend + flooding= cleaning and crafting. Still raining every weekend.
With petticoat!
Weight loss and fasting: Down 15 pounds in 4 weeks. Plateau’ed.
Digital cleaning: DONE!
