Vegan Leather?


How the hell can you have vegan leather?

Was the animal fed on vegans?

If it is vegan then it can’t be leather.

So looking at the definition (thanks to google) leather is made from the skin of an animal. With that very fact leather can not be vegan.

The only reason I’m asking the question is because it was mentioned on a Phillip Schofield program. Something to do with higher and lower and Black Friday. I’m not really paying attention but that seemed to stick out.

So I said last week that I started working on a kiwi bird with crochet. I’m still working on that. At knitting today I finished the body and head and started on a leg. I’m down to the toes on the first leg.

Other things I’ve been up to are putting up with the dog. She pulled something off my wall last night. It upset me, and annoyed me. I’m left with a big space now on the wall.

Zoe is having a chew stuff and if she can, rip them up. So because of that I’m putting up with the gap. We’re still working on the training. She is getting out and about now so she’s had a fair few walks. Mum took her to a park in rammy today. No idea if she enjoyed that or not, it’s not like she can speak. I’m sure she’ll find a way of letting me know though.

I’ve joined mum and Zoe on a couple of walks. Well I wheeled, been round the lido at Clarence park a few times and this evening we went round the block near home. Again it showed me how bad the pavements in this area are. That’s something you just don’t think about walking around. But when you’re in a wheelchair you feel every bump and bobble and hole and uneven surface. It can be uncomfortable but either way it’s hard work. Especially when going up a hill, even small hills are hard work. That’s about it for the dog.

I’ve talked about knitting and stuff. I’ve also been looking at Luceting (knitting fork) that’s fun and simple to make cords. And it doesn’t take much concentration so it’s easy to do while having an conversation. I’ve got some beads to embellish the cords, I’ll see how that goes.

On the walk/wheel this evening I lost part of my pipe so I’ve had to order another. That’s a bit annoying so until that gets here I’m having to smoke it without the mouth piece. It’s on its way though.

What else to mention? I have a pain appointment tomorrow I sure hope it goes better than last time. Move more and reduce your pain medication.

Well it came down a bit since the first one. It went back up though because after a certain point I just couldn’t function. Pain, burning in patches, brain fog and a couple of other things. It’s crap. But let’s see how things go tomorrow.

Dizziness has been really shit recently. It’s reared it’s head and spun around beyond belief. Trying to do anything while your head is spinning isn’t that easy. It’s almost like having too much to drink without the fun of drinking. Every little movement of the head seems to make it worse. It’s made me notice that when I’m having a conversation with someone I nod my head quite a bit. When you do that unconsciously it’s really hard to stop. It’s normally too late when you realise you’re nodding along.

Anyway I’m about to be savaged by the dog. (Not really) so I’ll play with her and talk soon.

Love and light.
