Re: Taking the plunge
@Bunniekins squirrels are the best. I saw some when I was overseas and I could've spent hours watching them.

Re: Taking the plunge
The dining table is the best @Maggie 😆 It's been so good to have a central point in the house where anyone can do anything without any being precious about it. I have just put packing tape all over the backing fabric, directly on the table. I really could have this finished today, especially if I do the bare minimum of everything else 🤔 I am doing a later shift tomorrow so I have the morning free to clean up.
How's your day looking today, aside from hoping to resin?

Re: Taking the plunge
sorry didnt see your post am up now and on laptop so easier to see whats going on lol @Maggie
The next big animal – in name and attitude, if not in actual size – is Big Bunny in the Series 4 episode 'Invasion of the Moon Creatures'. Graeme helps the British government to join the space race by sending intrepid astrobunnies Flopsy and Spiro to the moon in a rocket that is launched from the front lawn outside the Goodies' office (to Tim's sheepish exclamation of "Oh that's what it's for. I've just posted two letters in that!") After six whole months of no contact with his lunar rabbits, Graeme forces Bill and Tim to go on a perilous journey of their own to the moon, where their discovery of "primitive vegetable life of some sort … lettuces and carrots" and a bumper batch of bunny rabbits on the lunar surface helps them to determine that Flopsy and Spiro have indeed made it to the moon and are – as would be expected – "breeding like rabbits"!
Unfortunately for Tim and Bill, the rabbits suddenly turn ferocious and overpower them before carting them off to the space burrow, where they are held as prisoners. A bemused Bill comments to Tim that that "this isn't normal behaviour for rabbits … I used to have a pet rabbit once, you know, when I was a little kid, and at no stage did he ever strap me to the couch and stick carrots in my ears!", as the image of Flopsy appears on a video screen beside the two captive Goodies. Tim starts to tell Flopsy off as being "a very naughty boy" for not making contact, but Flopsy proclaims that he is now called Big Bunny and that thanks to Graeme "expanding our bunny brains", he and his followers now plan to "conquer space" and "boldly go where no rabbit has gone before!" in true Star Trek-like style Big Bunny insists that Tim and Bill will "return to Earth as our spokesmen, so now you must learn the only bunny talk that humans will respect"... watch and copy. Say it after me. Nyaaah. What's up Doc?!" Tim and Bill initially refuse to co-operate, but after they receive an electric charge, they start to munch on carrots willingly and by the time that they land back on Clapham Common, they shock Graeme and the other boffins present by having now turned into oversized rabbits themselves.
As the rabbit invasion of Earth gathers pace (with even Patrick Moore and the Prime Minister falling victim to the rabbit space virus) Big Bunny appears on Graeme's computer screen to exhort Tim and Bill to go "out, out, my fluffy brothers (for) a touch of way-hey-hey and a spot of bunny fun!", which they merrily do in rampant Clockwork Orange-fashion until they are eventually cornered in the sand dunes by the Queen's Own Highland Ferrets. In time, Graeme suspects that the space virus that afflicts Tim and Bill is wearing off (despite their protests that "We're still the sworn servants of Big Bunny!") and when he ultimately tempts them to have a slice of yummy rabbit pie in defiance of their boring old carrot and lettuce diet – making them cannibals in the process – even the appearance at the office door of Big Bunny ordering them to "Stop, stop" merely raises a hearty roar of "DINNER!" from Tim and Bill as they chase their dear leader up the street with kn!fe and fork at the ready.

Re: Taking the plunge
My woolies order arrived @CheerBear, so pantry is full for another mth.
Oh wow, you are really going well. I really didn’t think you would get that far today.
The bare minimum of everything else sounds like a good plan for today @CheerBear . It’s doing what gets you through. Unfortunately, the other stuff waits.
I might have a bit of a cleaning day today. I cancelled my help for the time being. I wasn’t coping with someone new each time. So I said, once they have a permanent person, I will start again. Small things can make big stress.

Re: Taking the plunge
Morning @CheerBear 👋 Sounds like your project is really coming along.
Totally makes sense that you want to wait for someone permanent @Maggie. It would be stressful having to meet a new person every time.

Re: Taking the plunge
Yeah totally makes sense @Maggie.
A bit tricky here in my head. Saboteur at work. Always a bit of extra fun when a post gets deleted too - it's ok to struggle, but not in that way. I'm doing it wrong. Again.
