The balcony is finished! The scaffolding is almost down, and it looks really nice. They are putting scaffolding up on the bedroom side of the flat, but I won't be looking at it all day. Hearing the work, maybe, but I won't be doing a blow by blow account of that part of the renovations here. I never actually meant to do weekly updates of it, but nothing else was happening in my life for the last 13 weeks!
Not a lot continues to happen. Leon and I have sore throats, running noses and a cough, so we go tested yesterday. It's very unlikely to be COVID, since the outbreaks here are happening on the other side of town, but we do have to self isolate until the test results come back.
I'm reading Modern Lovers by Emma Straub. It was literally the oldest book in my Goodreads "To Be Read" list. It's a multi-generational family and friends drama. The fun part is that the drama is all actually quite low key. The characters are relatable and the New York setting is a nice change of pace for me. Recommended.

I'm knitting Sorrel. Considering how long I've been obsessed with fuzzy, lovely mohair, it has taken me a while to actually knit a jumper doing the hold a strand of mohair with a strand of sock yarn! I'm loving this, the yarn (Oyster Yarns, which is the Purl Box house brand). I've just got the second sleeve to do, so I'll probably be finished on Thursday. Hmm, what to knit next? I should have enough yarn left over for a matching hat.
And that's this week in my life. As usual on a Wednesday I'm joining in with Kat and the Unravellers from As Kat Knits. Since it's the first Wednesday of the month, I'm also joining Ginny and the Yarnalong over at Small Things. Check out their blogs to see what everyone else is up to this week. Enjoy your crafting and reading!
That blue yarn is gorgeous. Yay for the balcony being finished. Hope you are feeling better soon.
