A bit of this and that.

I have just finished this little felt cat, next time I think I will do his markings a bit darker but I quite like him. to add to a friends birthday present. I am still knitting my 2nd sock!! John brought in another orchid from the shade house, it is a very early dendrobium cross, I love the colour and the tips of the petals, I love this shape of the native crosses. We walked on the beach this morning and usually when we find a live turban washed up on the sand we throw them back but this one was attached to a rock and as the tide was low and showing every sign of coming in we left it. Just general weed and rocks and water. It was cold, we had a frost this morning and there was a cold easterly blowing along the beach, but nice to be out. I think I am allergic to one of my rather nice salvias that I have done some of the cutting back on, still more to go but the way I felt after I had done a small amount I think I will take it slowly.
