I have a couple of scenarios;<br /><br />God comes down from heaven and says, "Hey, I knew it once but I've forgotten how to whizz up some DNA; could you just run a double helix up for me? I fancy bringing back the dinosaurs. St Peter borrowed Jurassic World on DVD I figured if you like messed up DNA, you'll love what I can do!"<br /><br />Or the aliens invade on the second Sunday in October (because nothing ever happens in October) and the President rings up to say "We have a plan. We're going to mess up the aliens by making a mutation of their DNA with some lace-weight silk mix. Just drop it in at the White House later on, please."<br /><br />I'll let you decide which is most likely xAngel Jemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08915392156232711695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8020871316401082930.post-24216016654769048632015-07-31T08:39:56.080+01:002015-07-31T08:39:56.080+01:00Love all your different definitions of 'home&#...Love all your different definitions of 'home' Jill.

I'm that way with home, as in where I grew up, and home, where I live now. It can grow a bit confusing.

I'm sitting here with giggles between the "home" confusion,er I mean, talk... and the pink DNA! ;) Lol<br /><br />Looks like a lovely time and I'm so glad you're able to get home (NI) and see your family and catch up on life there. Perfect (altho rainy) summer days of ice cream, swimming, crafting and lately my favorite - COLORING!<br /><br />I can't wait to see your completed projects or what you'll come up with next. Can one crochet an umbrella?

I gave my husband a grown up coloring book for Father's Day, one of the Johanna Basford ones. There was a waiting list on Amazon for them! I think they were waiting for more to be published. They're so popular now. I should have gotten in on that business myself, ha. If only I could draw. I look forward to seeing your crochet projects. Take care and enjoy your trip.Jennifer Hayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685253944514672324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8020871316401082930.post-92005991750637621962015-07-29T15:53:05.832+01:002015-07-29T15:53:05.832+01:00This year's 'summer' is pretty disappo...This year's 'summer' is pretty disappointing so far isn't it! I love the adult colouring books and want to get one too, at least then I can enjoy myself whilst the littlies colour!

Yes cold as well as wet. Your pink crochet almost-cowl is so lovely - you'll have to find another use for it. I always say I'm going to stop buying yarn but somehow I still just have to buy some more. I'm finishing my king-size blanket at the minute and am NOT buying any more cotton for it. Far too expensive to buy a ball for a few stitches just to finish a row of the border. It will be a mix of colours in the rows. I've seen those grown-up colouring books and really wanted to buy one (or more). Thought I'd buy one as a present for my mother-in-law for starters and then progress to one for myself. But I don't really have time to start colouring in - I need to crochet.Gillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13234219836891799676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8020871316401082930.post-10791219731139869172015-07-29T09:30:36.466+01:002015-07-29T09:30:36.466+01:00Glad you're enjoying 'home' - I have t...Glad you're enjoying 'home' - I have the same problems with the word and confuse people as to whether I mean 'my' home or my parents' 'home'.

Even here in Belgium. Cold, rain, almost like fall ! They say the weather will fínally change from this weekend on. I'll keep my fingers crossed that will happen over there too :-) !<br />I'm jealous about your "bargain spending" - that MM book for only £ 3 ! And those crafting supplies ! Wherever I go, I always look for those bargain shops. So much fun ! Not only because it's cheap, but also because you can find other stuff than in your regular shops "at home".
