Unravelled Wednesday -the one that is as predicted

 Last week I predicted that my books and knitting will be the same this week, and they are!  I'm still reading    At the Feet of the Sun by Victoria Goddard . It's a very enjoyable read, but it's a book that is not in a hurry! I might even still be reading it next week.

Saturday we slept for a few hours and then rested and then today we cleaned the house and i put together some earrings for Kris, Katie and Mel.
