We're 3 and a half weeks into Stage Four lockdown, and things are feeling alright. It still feels weird knowing I'm not allowed to go out after 8pm, but since everything is shut, why would I. I'm shopping up a storm on-line, and am redecorating my living room. Come back on Friday and I'll have that finished and have some photos too. I'm very excited.
The knitting is going quite well too. I finished the body of the dress yesterday, and started on the first sleeve. I'm still not sure how long I'm going to make it, probably all the way to the wrist.
I started reading on my new Kindle. I'm not yet sold - the battery life for the first charge was way shorter than it should have been. I'll get that sorted out and then do a full review.
I'm reading The Broken Kingdoms the second book in N.K. Jemison's Inheritance trilogy. It focuses on different characters than the first in the series, and the action is a bit faster. Still gloriously full of gods and magic.
Leon and I have nearly finished the audio book of Neil Gaiman's Sandman. We've read the first of the comics, but graphic novels are not my preferred reading medium. The audio book is very good, if (like the comic) sometimes violent and disturbing,
And that's a wrap up on what I'm reading and listening to in Melbourne pandemic week 21. I hope you are feeling strong and positive. I'm linking up with Kat and the rest of the unravelling over at As Kat Knits.
The dress is looking gorgeous! Glad you are keeping well. My mum said it is quite surreal to hear them say after the news on ABC that is only half an hour to curfew, make sure you get home. Looking forward to seeing your new living room.
ReplyDeleteThat dress! Wow! It looks fabulous! And how fun to be redoing your living room! Eager to see photos! (stay safe!)
