I haven’t been knitting much lately. You’d think I would have, because I do believe it helps calm my nerves, but I just couldn’t get to it. It’s a shame airlines don’t allow knitting, otherwise, I would have finished my top by now and probably the scarf too. But I couldn’t even bring my knitting…

Right now
Right now I am… :: listening to the birds singing:: a bit sleepy because we had to rise early to be in the new house in time for the loader that will straighten out the holes that had to be made to build the cess pit:: trying to focus on the house and finishing it…
Back
Thank you for the reactions on my last post. It’s heartwarming when people connect like this through a basically very silly thing like blogging. It makes me feel even more then before like I’m talking to some really dear friends here. So I thought it was only fair to give you an update. I’m back…
…
I will be offline a little bit longer. This afternoon I’m flying to the Netherlands. My mother is not doing well and I’m going to see her before… well, let’s hope I’m wrong, but I’m afraid we’re losing her.
A little break
Dropping in to tell you that we’ve decided to take a little, much needed, break this week. Aside from a few little things that we really need to do, we’re going to rest, rest, rest. No work on the house, no more computer work than is really necessary. We’re both exhausted and stressed out, so…
Water
Though our visit to Aqualectra to apply to be connected to water and electricity went smoothly, we expect that it will take a few weeks to actually get connected. But in the meanwhile, we needed water. There was a big container on the porch when we bought the place, but it was slowly getting drained…
Three things on Thursday – to do/doing/done
Three things I had to do today before I could sit down and write a blog post (apart from giving the cat his morning dose of attention): – go to the Aqualectra office and apply for water and electricity to be connected to the new house. Done! That went rather smoothly, though we don’t know…
Knitting and Reading :: all over the place
Knitting: I’m all over the place, but there’s not much progress. Oh well, sometimes it’s like that.Working on:– a topdown sweater/tunic, depending on how much yarn I need. I’m knitting it topdown, to make sure I end up with something usable (I’m pretty sure I have enough to knit a sleeveless sweater)– a scarf– potholders (still…
Crafting on :: simply knitting
The last few days I didn’t really feel like picking up my knitting. It happens, but I wondered what the reason was.I had three projects going, but none of them called out to me. This morning, trying to decide which one to take with me to the house, I realized why. None of them were…
Snapshots from the weekend
Our Saturday was spent working on the house, but on Sunday we took a day off and went to the beach. Just the two of us, swimming, talking, resting. It was good. When we came home we napped (yes, really) and then we went to a friend’s house for a bbq. It was a good,…
