Well, we're into week 7. The demolition part of the renovation seems to be finished.
Hopefully some rebuilding soon. We are also going to find out on the 11th (next Tuesday) what is happening with our lockdown in Victoria. so that will be interesting.
I am reading The Bridge by Enza Gandolfo. It is a another novel set in, and with a very strong Melbourne voice, this time focusing on the near west. I am enjoying it, but I don't seem to be putting a lot of time aside for eye-reading in this "new normal" we are currently inhabiting.
I'm still listening to The Caine Mutiny. It's not a fast book, but two thirds of the way through it we are getting to the point.
Leon and I are listening to Neil Gaiman's American Gods together, and all I want to do is sit around and listen to more and more of it. I've read the book in the dim and dusty past, and watched the TV series last year, with was really well done, but this audio book is so good.
And knitting remains the one thing that I am super focused on. I started this jumper for Leon on Sunday, and this is how it looked at Tuesday night:
It's Elizabeth Zimmermann's Seamless Saddle Shoulder jumper in Field of Dreams, to replace the one I felted last year. I presume I'm going to slow down, other wise I will have it finished by the end of the weekend... unless I run out of yarn, but that's another story, one I will tell once I find out what happens!
As usual on a Wednesday I'm linking up with Kat from As Kat Knits. As it's the first Wednesday of the month, it's also Yarnalong with Ginny from Small Things.
I hope you are well and healthy, or at least coping with life's current challenges.

I am adding American Gods to my read list! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteNice jumper so far. American Gods sounds interesting, I hope you enjoy it. We are coping here I just keep on knitting, reading, and blogging to cope!
ReplyDeleteI'm all over the place with everything too; we have been locked down since March 15 and it looks like we'll be in until at least June. I wanted to use this time wisely, to read good books and get tons done, but with homeschooling the four kids and trying not to lose my mind with the extra housework...well. Not much else getting done! It is what it is, I tell myself.
