Morning Ivana. Glad youre getting better. You have a marrow..just zucchinni that's grown really big. My grandmother, father and I all used to grow, core out the centre;;use that filling with mince, parsley ,onion, nutmeg garlic, rice ..a nice stuffing and cook in a flavoursome tomato based sauce..then slice to serve xx

The mystery vegetable! It looks like something we would eat when we were living in South Korea but I never knew the name. It seemed like a type of gourd?

[@therepublicofme]

thanks ❤

[@carmoafonso7651]

Great vlog Hope you feel better soon Can you please tell me how many stitches you cast on and kneedle size and what stitch ? Thank you ❤

[@therepublicofme]

if you mean for the hat, I usually do 108 stitches on 3mm needles (I think I'm a loose knitter though) ❤

[@carmoafonso7651]

@therepublicofme thank you

I think most women have the problem with sunglasses being too big, cause usually they are made to fit men ;) From wearing my normal glasses I know there are 2 adjustments you can do to make them slide less: bend those node "cushions" that hold the glasses on your nose a little to the middle, so they grip your nose tighter and second: use a put of heat (preferably something like a heatgun...carefully) to heat up the plastic on the "arms" where they bend and bend them to hug your ears a bit tighter... effectively making them shorter. Maybe you can also ask at an optometrician's shop to do that for you :)

[@therepublicofme]

thank you for the tip ❤❤❤

[@catherinecunningham7126]
