Cauliflower

I wish that some bright spark hadn't thought of cauliflower "rice", and it subsequently has become a "thing".
Before it was dreamed of, there used to be a time in the year when cauliflowers came very cheap, due to the seasonal glut.  But no longer.....the buggers just make the glut into fake rice, I suspect.
I can only hope that it's just a fleeting fad.
In case you haven't guessed, cauliflower is possibly my favourite vegetable.

Prevarication is the thief of time.

So....Almost a year ago my distant cousin, Julie, sent me a book titled Knit your own Zoo.
She put on the gift tag, "I'd like a giraffe", or similar words.
I knitted all the pieces, using Ricorumi cotton yarn. (Made for toy making,).
However, when I have started to assemble the giraffe, I have become disheartened, as the stuffing is showing through. So, I have been putting off assembling it. I hate it when something like that happens.
I even crocheted a four foot square blanket rather than assemble. (I'm not a wizard, it was chunky yarn....took me the days.)
And I am even writing about putting it off in preference to assembling.
Get on with it woman, I hear you shout.....OK, I will.
But how can a tiny thing take so long?
Oh, and I knitted a beret for myself as well.

Right......time to sew a giraffe together.
