All well, I guess.
Archie came, and we did a circuit of the garden. He’s coming back tomorrow for
another circuit, and some chores. I’ve knit a few more random Shetland stripes –
picture soon – and am not terribly pleased with what is happening. It’s
colourful, all right, but messy. I’m going to switch to KD’s whatever-it’s-called
as soon as it arrives.
The weather is
glum. The radio keeps assuring me that rain is sleeting down all over Scotland,
palpably not true, but perhaps it is doing so in the west which would be some
consolation for our aborted cruise. Food is a good part of the Majestic Line
package, but another part is healthful walks in the beautiful wilderness. (I
had planned to stay on board with my knitting and some birdwatching.) The
weather can be glorious and invigorating, this time of year – it has been
recently – but not at the moment.
Cats: I have one
of those cat-drinking-fountain things in the kitchen. But that’s what’s
regarded around here as Paradox’s water. They’re funny animals.
Last week’s kimchi
is effervescing all over the kitchen counter in a most satisfactory way. I had
planned to leave this batch behind to fester away while I was cruising, but in
fact I am soon going to want to start eating it. My microbiome must be in
splendid condition.
IT might be a bit of comfort that it is miserable weather in the cruise location. We are "unseasonably cold" and having flurries. I harvested squash in the flurries today. At least we don't have wildfires. Tonight, knitting in the warm.
ReplyDeleteI think a certain amount of "messy" is the point of randomness. It will probably look better when more is done. You chose to do it from a picture you liked, didn't you? Or was it just the idea that appealed?
