What a week that was! I know we are all in the same boat (that boat being our own homes) it was my first week in lockdown, and it was not boring at all.
They decided to go ahead with our building renovations, the scaffolding is going up today. I'm not pleased about loosing my balcony for the next 2 months, but it's kind of exciting to have something happening. People arriving and leaving and making noise, some rythm and action my days. Anyway, it's happening, so I may as well make the most of it, right?
I normally mediate on the balcony, so this morning I went into the building's courtyard. It's mainly a lightwell, but all but three plant pots have arrived in the last year, from where, I do not know. The only problem is that the windows on the left are straight into people's flats. I wouldn't work out or do anything that makes noise there, but it was a nice quiet place to sit and breathe.
In reading and knitting I am working on all the same things I was last week (Japan Sleeves, City of Bones, Such a Fun Age). Which is not to say I haven't been productive. I just have the collar and cuffs and the end of the ribbing to go on Japan Sleeves, so that's going quite well.
I'm half way through City of Bones. it's well written and a bit of an action / adventure / fantasy romp, which is ideal for the current situation.
And I'm 20 minutes from finishing Such A Fun Age, which turned out to be quite a compelling book about race and other things. It has made me even more grateful I live in a country with universal healthcare, regardless of our employment status.
And that's this week knitting and reading. As always on a Wednesday I'm linking up with Kat and Unravelled, and on the first Wednesday of the month with Ginny Sheller's Yarnalong too. I'll be back next week with a renovation update, and new books and knitting projects to share. Take care.
