Sounds good to me EFFT
Ive got my M&S delivery tomorrow ….and I’ve ordered some factor 50…so I hope the forecast for next week isn’t wrong .
Forecast was showing potential temperatures as 20 - 22 C. That's high 60's farenheit. So with a bit of sun added your factor 50 won't go far wrong!

Glad to see you're both having an good dayWhat are you crocheting Fluffy?
If I say I have no idea what I'm crocheting will that sound too daft?
It's a mystery CAL (crochet along) . get a bit of instructions each week, but won't know what the whole thing will be until the very end. Parts 1 and 2

Oooo that sounds fun EFFT ….it will be interesting to see what it ends up as .
Did the mystery CAL in 2019 and really enjoyed it. So when it was announced that this year 's CAL would be a mystery one again, I jumped straight in. Part one (16 small squares made into a 4 x 4 tile) I completed in 8 days, part 2 (the 19 rounds around the tile) took 12 days and I'm currently half way through part 3 - more squares made into two 6 x 2 panels with 9 rounds around each panel.
These two panels are not joined to anything or each other at the moment.

Your crochet looks really good
Thank you. It's taken a good few years to get the crochet to this stage, after the effects of the brain op. (disasterous dexterity), but I'm really pleased with how it looks, myself.

Yikes ...I didn't know about that .........even more impressive
How long does the mystery take?
@slimfern posted:That sounds like fun Fluffy....very novel
You crochet looks really goodWhat did the 2019 one turn out to be?
A poncho. Each week we did some straight rows and some squares the squares were joined 6 x 4 and that became the back and the section with the rows was the front. The back and front were joined at right angles to each other and that meant the rows ran diagonally across the body, a nice effect!

I like that it turned out to be something useful ....other than a blanket or cushion cover.
Have you worn it often?
@slimfern posted:Yikes ...I didn't know about that .........even more impressive

The instructions are given in 7 parts, but everyone can go at their own pace as the instructions will be on the internet forever, so ther's no particular timescale to be met.

I was struggling with some bits (dexterity) and then had to put it aside for several months, so no, not as yet.

That's a real neat idea
I haven't done any crochet for years, but a friend of mine in Manchester does...he is bedridden and so is limited to what he can do....I'll have to see if he knows about it....is there a link?

Morning I'm still tired, but the bed's too hot to get back to sleep!
Nerly six now, so might try for another snooze. 
Managed to snooze in fits and starts and I still feel a bit tired. Also legs feel a bit wobbly and skin feels very sensitive, Everything pretty much as it was after the first jab!
