        Hope Freddie is better soon. Such a worry! It is horrible not being able to see them. Liam sent me a video of Mahli, she is so cute. Rochelle's boys were fighting over her phone because they wanted to see a photo of Baba which is what my husband is called. My eldest granddaughter put her hand on him when she was little and said "Baba" so it stuck.

        @Jennifer M: I don't either Jennifer, you can see him watching me at times. He is but they did lose a baby before him so understandable in some ways but I really dont think it does him any favours as he gets older as he expects everyone to fuss over him and he has already had problems at school. He plays them up terribly over food they then reward his bad behaviour by spoon feeding him and letting him watch a video whilst he eats needless to say here I just take it away and put him down from table. He had a right meltdown but not done it again. He is a lovely little boy and I do like to play with him but it's the thought of 5 days! I don't even think his parents are that grateful thinking they are doing us a favour.

      Love the jumper, great job with the cables. Very hard with this lockdown we are not in the zone but my daughter and family are and today was my birthday so not able to celebrate with them and have not seen them for ages. Like you its too cold and windy to go for walks at the moment good for knitting inside in the warm even the internet keeps freezing so have not been able to post the things I have made.

      Ohh these are my favourite type of jumpers with the cables on them. I can't wait to see the twins all dressed up in them Jennifer.😊your numbers are not going down yet but until they get stricter with the fines I don't think they will. See Victoria has just announced they are extending their lockdown. It's only a matter of time till we get it there are still too many people coming over the border.Take care, thank golly you have had one jab.😊😊

        I am wondering if they will get on top of it. They just shoed a queue outside centrelink in the Fairfield area and they were all on top of each other without masks! Can't believe you have been there 7 weeks. Rochelle recieved the jumpers yesterday so hopefully we have a photo soon. She is goin insane at the moment with home schooling with a 14 year old girl who is not doing in properly. Just at that horrible age. She is a lovely girl but just giving her mother problems.

Such gorgeous wee boys all dressed up in Nana's beautiful jumpers, the cables really show up and I love the colours.😊😊yep people are still not listening and soing as they are told, I just read that SA is going into lockdown as well and they only have 5 cases and Vic is looking down for another week. They are racing around like crazy here as there are people who arrived from Vic and were positive. It's only a matter of time before it gets away from them. Oh I can just imagine how hard it will be for Rochelle trying to home school a 14 year old who will be wanting to be out and about with her friends.😊😊

Rochelle is missing a cup holder from her lounge and she is hoping it didn't go out with the rubbish. Liam sent me a gorgeous video of Mahli. I feel like I am missing so many gorgeous stages.

        @Jennifer M: I was vaccinated fairly early as I work in a hospital, and I must say it is a huge relief! I had the AZ because that was what was available, and it was fine. The risks from COVID are so much greater than the risks of the vaccines.
