Listening to : Choral Evensong on Radio 3. Lots of Purcell, just what I like.
Watching: still Trapped. I’ve got used to the slow pace, and we did have some excitement – just when the case appeared closed, it turns out not to be – although that was obvious, given that we are only half way through. Still lots of interesting knitwear to enjoy.
Reading: Making it Up, a book of short stories by Penelope Lively. I’m not usually a fan of short stories, but these are excellent – you find yourself reading faster to find out how each one ends.
Making: this is the completed sock. I am now working on the second iteration of the toe of its pair, after my increases went agley.
The October to February sections of the ‘2018’ sampler are sewn together, although I still haven’t found the December 2017 to October 2018 part, which are on the room of boxes. Wensleydale is currently trying to make space in the garage so we can move the remaining boxes out there until after the building work is done. (When I say ‘we can move’, I mean, of course, that Cheeses Major and Minor will kindly volunteer to do so.)
I’ve now officially started the 2019 sampler, in which I can choose whatever colours I like. Anyone who knows me will not be surprised by what I’ve chosen.
Feeling: that it might, just about, be almost spring. The header photo is the view from where I’m sitting. Note that the door is open. (Also note my lovely new curtains. Thank you, A.)
I can’t see the primroses, crocuses and solitary daffodil from where I and, but I know they are there. I can hear sparrows, and earlier this afternoon there was a thrush, something I haven’t seen for years, and a flock of 7 magpies flying about. I know magpies are Marmite birds, but I love their colours, and apparently they are not really major predators of small birds. Not as bad as cats.
Anticipating: a busy week. Now there’s a change.
