Weekending - Ballarat beer festival 2021

This weekend we went to Ballarat for the 10th Ballarat beer festival, and our 10th Ballarat Beer festival. Yes, ew have prefect attendance.

We caught the train up - I can't actually remember when I last caught a train. I kept trying to get a picture of the scarf I am knitting with cheep out the window, but it just didn't work. But trust me, there are sheep in those fields.

The day itself was lovely. We started with a run around a different lake - Lake Wendoree, rather than our local Albert Park Lake.

And the festival itself was warm, but not too warm, in the shade at least. Everyone was a little bit huddled under the trees!

There was the traditional beer-farm petting zoo, with lots of goats!

But also some sheep. We didn't go in, just sipped a beer and watched the animals do their thing.

It was as COVID-Safe as possible, but these signs cracked me up - no-one understood what "lanes" they were talking about. This is why we are only allowed out when we have zero cases, which we've just done a week of.

We had friends there, including Tony and Ingrid, who we had not seen since last Ballarat beer fest, and Kris and Lisa, perennial favourites.

Then today, Kris drove us back to Melbourne -

here is my attempt to take a photo of the rather longer scarf in a car. Now I'm getting on top of the house work, and swatching for my Ranunculas and

Love Note sweaters. More on that once decisions have been made, opinions on which of these I should use for Ranunculus are welcome in the comments.

Linky Wednesday - the one with the pause

In meditation it's said that the pause between the in breath and the out breath is a gap, a space to rest. Well, I'm in that in-between space for reading, listening and knitting. This is a random photo of a highlight of my week - I filled up my lolly jar. These are just supermarket party mix. During the lockdowns, we sources a great pick-and-mix delivery service, but at some point they started sending from the UK, which is a bit silly. Rachey messaged me a new one she found, and I impulsed purchased a kilo of mixed lollies, and then she sent me a link to the biggest lolly shop in Melbourne, which also delivers sweets by the kilogram, so i think I'm sorted for the rest of the year! In reading I've just finished The Beckoning Lady by Margery Allingham . It's the second last book in the Summer of Mystery, and I have to admit, having now read nine Margery Allingham books, that they are OK. I wouldn't have read them if they were not connected to this club, but on...

Geogradiant MKAL Part 1 - that was unexpected (spoilers)

Stephen West released the first MKAL clue on Thursday night. I started knitting it without looking at spoilers. When I got up on Friday he had sent through an "alternative" clue one. I then went and had a look at the spoiler thread to try to work out what was going on. Which was that some people thought the pattern looked like a "German hate symbol". I knit on anyway, since I was half-way through. Then he took down the original clue, replacing it with a mitred square in garter stitch. The Ravelry forums and Instagram are a complete shit-show, even though Rav is being moderated. It's been a bit disheartening, having something that is usually quite light and fun weighed down with all this. I admire Stephen's quick and sensitive response to this drama. I also feel that anything can look like anything if you squint. To me this looks like a Celtic knot. I think mine is pretty, and I'll knit on through all crises.

Unravelled Wednesday - the one where it's ordinary

This week I finished my first book for the 2025 When Are You Reading? Challenge , which was The Silence of the Girls by Pat Barker , which covered the pre 1200 time period. I loved it, it's a retelling of the siege of Troy from a feminist perspective. I haven't worked out what I'm reading for the 1200-1399 time period. Suggestions are welcome. I'm currently reading Central Station by Lavie Tidhar , which is science fiction set in a future Tel-Aviv. It's good, but there are loads of characters and I'm not overly invested. Although at least I'm having no problems telling the characters apart, they are very district. I just don't overly care what happens to them. I'm listening to a NetGalley review copy of Mona Acts Out by Mischa Berlinski , which is the story of a woman unravelling. It's very different from Mischa's other books, but quite compelling. I'm not sure what's next, probably something from Kobo-Plus, perhaps Regrets...
