The end of #aholidayathome like any holiday-back to the fray-Pilates first. It’s been good, yesterday-finishing off things-while sitting in the sun with a cat. Hem of a skirt-a book (3rd this week) music (70s folk rock) casting on a sock & cooking supper, but the book!! That needs a separate post
Almost nothing to report for day#6 of #aholidayathome permission to be (nearly) idle - tried on the skirt I made on day#5 waist too big! (why do I sew without trying on?) fixed that. Examined holes in four pairs of #handknitsocks mended one pair chucked the rest. Cooked, watched TV
Day #5 Relaxed and experiencing a feeling of achievement, Things Have Got Done this week (sewing, reading and cooking* today) I’m thinking that I might take #aholidayathome every six weeks or so
* not so good for the waistline
Thursday, clear bright & chilly. A perfect day out to Hughendon Manor (NT) followed by lunch and browsing dresses at John Lewis #knittersofbluesky will like to know I’m wearing all the knitwear -Uma top, Shifty cowl, mittens, and (of course) my new socks- my mussleborough hat in bag! #aholidayathome
day#3 #aholidayathome Getting Things Done. 1. emails - it’s ‘work’ but part of not having stuff hanging over me 2 completed 2024 photo book - ever a huge task but harder with new Mac (a new path to upload-why???) 3 finished socks, wearing today
Loganberry jam made, 80 pages into The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store read, a film (September 5) and pizza. Making the best of #aholidayathome
Lots of my least favourite jobs done this morning, clearing the decks for more interesting things. Finished reading House of the Gentry (Turgenev) and begun The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store #aholidayathome
#2 last week screen time av 5.5 hrs per day. Aiming to halve that #aholidayathome
Wanted a break then thought-weather-cost-comfort & decided on #aholidayathome cancelled all usual activities, Pilates, craft groups, apols for meetings… wrote to do list -sort photos, sew skirt, see film, eat out, visit cute little town, less doom scrolling. Watch my progress on here
