I find it very difficult to read after my CRVO. Words dance around and doing it for any length of time gives me a headache. But at least I can still knit - probably because I don't have to keep looking at what I'm doing all the time.

Eye jab #2 done and I bought this as a special 'well done' treat for afterwards. It was tiny compared to what it used to be like but was still delicious... #shrinkflation

@NewsatTwm Thanks Twm

@JournoJB Hope you get some good news soon, Jo.

Keen to hear from anyone diagnosed with CRVO. I was 6 weeks ago and it has brought important parts of my life to a shuddering halt with no definite answers on what the future may hold. Feels quite lonely at the moment...

A huge thank you to Vanessa and Tom who came to our rescue at @uskgardencentre today when my son got a puncture. You were so kind and helpful and we are very grateful.

Gwobr Haeddiannol iawn! Congratulations to the team at South Wales Argus (@southwalesargus) This year's Daily/Sunday Newspaper of the Year / Papur Dyddiol/Sul y Flwyddyn🎉

Horrible impact of the fire in Abergavenny - but newsagent Paul, who has lost his home, will still be trading from alternative premises in Baker's Street southwalesargus.co.uk/news/24715435.…

Thank you to @GriffinBooksUK and all who came to the talk about my history of 614 County of Glamorgan Squadron - ‘On Dragons’ Wings’. It was moving to talk about the sacrifices of our fallen on this special day. Profits from the sale of the book, from @YLolfa go to @RAFBF

BBC 2. The Cure. Brilliant. Loved them since I heard 10.15 on a Saturday Night on John Peel when it first came out. One of the best live bands I've ever seen. Never understood why they are labelled as goth though...

What do you do when you're not at work? I do this...

Signed up for a couple of Christmas markets @TaurusCrafts and Magor Frost Fair in December. See you there...

Something a bit different. Tried knitting a cat-ear hat and love how it came out. Fab arran wool and lovely, cosy hat. Will be trying a few more of these in time for the Christmas markets... (thanks to the model btw ;-) ) #yellydo over on Instagram...

Basque Rioja spells the last night of our French and Spanish road trip. Had brilliant fun. Met some great people and ate and drank lots of delicious things. Back to UKs tomorrow on @BrittanyFerries from Santander. #funtimesonhols

Been relaxing with the knitting needles out - therapeutic, creative, colourful fun. Meet the Yellydo clan - here to make us smile... See more at Yellydo on Insta 😎

These three are now available at The Craft Space in Chepstow along with a selection of hats and gloves. You can follow Yellydocrafts over on Instagram for more pix and info...

Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary

Five smiley Yellydos waiting to be finished with labels, legs and arms. Then it's off to The Craft Space, Chepstow, to find new homes...

The @NUJofficial supports the stance taken by publishers, arguing "this threatens not only to diminish the availability of important information to the public but also to deprive local newspapers of an important income stream at a time when they are already under severe pressure"
