Spring is on the way! (Took this Pic LAST year but the shoots of the daffs are visible)The Funeral...
Phew - thank goodness that's all over and done with - and the funeral was as good as it could be - the family were all pleased and that really is the most important thing. I read my pome, and didn't stumble over the podium or crack up and run out screaming or even cry - so that was OK too. I cried when the children did their bits - 'specially Phil, as he's the same age as my son and I kept imagining how Seth would be in his place.
The vicar did his best to sell Christianity - but with my buddhist leanings, I've decided to let my body go to science when I die - there's a shortage of cadavers for medical students to cut up, apparently, and they do a lovely memorial service afterwards - very cheap funeral! See Dead Interesting for some really thought provoking stuff...

Thanks for that, Hazel ('though I'm not planning on passing on just yet, a funeral of someone only 5yrs older gets you thinking doesn't it?).
I do believe margaret's blog "Dead Interesting" has the same link on it...
thanks for all the comments on my blog! :) heehee. yes, isa(bel) is my daughter. she doesn't seem to care much that her sweater is trying to kill me. now I'm going to be entertained by your blog. :)
Hi Terri, thanks for commenting on my blog. Here is a link to the three-needle bind off: http://www.knittinghelp.com/knitting/basic_techniques/bind-off.php
It's exactly what it sounds like :-) You hold your stitches on 2 needles and use the third to knit a stitch from each needle like knit 2 together and then cast off as you normally would. Harder to describe than do!
Thanks Nutty - what a brilliant website - I've never been there before. I have done the three needle bind off before - I've just never called it that before. But I've been trying to do the invisible cast on for the Olympian cardi sleeves from a picture and it's so much easier from a video clip. Brilliant. Ta. I owe ya!
Whoops, Sue I mean. Who am I? what am I? slinks off.
