Not only is today Lucky Friday; but it is now just 2 months from the Vernal Equinox – or in other words Spring! 1. Luck came a little later in the day than usual. I did send Lynette Meek, who was heading off to Vogue Knitting LIVE a bon voyage.  I was wishing her all […]

It’s Saturday and fairly relaxed so I should be open for some good luck to-day. Let’s see. 1. Fortunately, I just had to ask the 17 year-old once to go up and shovel a neighbour’s walk. In others years, it would have taken 5 or 6 requests. There is light at the end of the
