a rainy, dreary day in Georgia. Very rainy. Very dreary. I’ve drank a lot of tea and finished a book – The Ark, by Boyd Morrison.
I started a new ski cap – it will match my fingerless opera gloves. At my knit group tomorrow, I will move the blue-grey one I’m doing over from the circular needles to the double ended needles. And when I finish both hats, I’ll make a gray one to match the wristers I’ve made my sister for Christmas.
I finally caught up on Sleepy Hollow. Ichabod, you are hawt hawt hawt – NOT as Hawt as Richard, but damn Tom, you are…. we must have a chat with England. The best thing they have done for the world is the export of these gorgeous, intellectual, dark haired, light -eyed men they’ve been tossing our way.
I have quite a bit of busy work lined up for the next 3 weeks. It’s not much of a paycheck, but it will be enough to pay the bills, pay what I still owe on my car and have some left over. Yarn. I love yarn anymore. I told my son I want a yarn bowl for my birthday or Christmas. And I want yarn. And needles. The busy work means I can write. Manna is on the final part of the back stretch and then there are plans to convert it into something original.
And I have my Big Bang to work on as well. I’m hoping both will be completed by end November. And I have a sweet Gary Fuller bunny nibbling on my toes. And then… convert Manna and see what happens.
Oh. And I started watching North and South. Just finished up Episode 1. Going off to pick up pizza. And then Episode 2.
Oh. Must have picture of Richard. Must.
That makes me feel good.
not a bad day to spend a grey day 🙂 Just started Manna and eating my way through it, another instalment in bed before sleep tonight 🙂 love it .. just puuuuhleeezeee don’t kill him 😀 I’m sure you’ve heard this before 😉 But seriously, just do want to want to i like what i’m reading 🙂
Like Sleepy Hollow 2, start of S2 tomorrow in London yay, it’s set to record. It’s funny it did scare me quite a bit last season to the point i needed the lights on! looking forward to more.
Oh and on a local channel they have the whole of N&S on Sunday afternoon, i just watched it for the first time a week ago but looking forward to receiving it all again via telly 🙂
Glad pay is coming in, looking forward to more reading and please share some of the yarn work :-))
Thank you for reading! I’ll just say this much – while I won’t change the BBC canon – I DO promise them a happy ending! I promise!
Episode 4 of Sleepy Hollow hits here tonight. I’ll download it and watch it later. Keep the lights on.
I have pictures of my wristers up. and I think the beginnings of my ski cap – which is quite ugly. I’m a beginning knitter, but a VERY experienced cross-stitcher. My grandmother knitted and crochted. mostly crocheted. When my son was born, my grandmother, my (now ex) husband’s mother and grandmother sat in the corner of the waiting room in the NICU and knitted and crocheted an entire wardrobe for my son. I cherish every piece and i wish I had allowed my grandmother to teach me how.
ah brill, must look back for pics then 🙂 oh good to know about happy ending but i’m in no rush for any ending at the moment, enjoying it way too much, it can go on for a while longer 🙂
I’m thinking the ‘wristers’ are back in May. The rather sad littler ski cap would be later – August or september.
As for Manna, it’s already huge. I’m certain it’s going to hit 350,000 words when it’s finished and I’m not thinking I want something the entire size of The Wheel of Time. lol!
Loved your comment on the British Male Exports they keep sending our way. They are highly nice looking, love their accents, and they can act. I spoke to my mom today who lives in Georgia and she said the same thing, “Rain:.
it’s been non-stop all day.
