The ups - the balcony is nearly finished, our heater got put back in on Thursday and we hear the scaffolding is coming down next week!
The gym reopened this week, and we are going out to dinner to celebrate Leon's 40th tonight.
Australia has COVID under control.
The downs - Melbourne is doing poorly and there is a fair chance we will be locking down again soon.
And through it all there is:
Knitting - I started Sorrel last week, and should get the yoke done by tomorrow. It's knit with mohair held together with a BFL, silk and cashmere sock yarn. It feels amazing. i just want to hold it on my lap and stroke it.
Reading - I'm reading The Secret Life of Luke Livingstone, by Charity Norman. It's a novel about a trans-woman who comes out in her 50s, but it's also a very well written family drama. It's an easy but heartfelt read.
Leon and I are listening to Neil Gaiman's Ocean at the End Of the Lane.
It's a re-listen for me, but I don't remember anything about it - except I listened to it on a work trip to Warnambool,and the book is only 5 hours long, so I may have read the entire thing in a day. I would listen to Neil read the phone book. The stunning prose is just a bonus!
I hope your week is going well and is full of good books, satisfying knitting and peace.
As usual on a Wednesday I'm joining in with Kat and the Unravellers, over at As Kat Knits.

Enjoy your dinner out! I am lucky to live in country Victoria, so we are still looking ok at the moment. But still cannot tell what may happen. I will have to look for both of those books. Your Sorrel is looking gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with your Neil Gaiman assessment. The phone book would do . . .
ReplyDelete(Your knitting is looking lovely!)
Your knitting is gorgeous! Hope you enjoy Ocean at the End of the Lane. I absolutely Loved that book. The very second I finished it, I wanted to start back on page one and read it again.
