Not back to school

We're lucky enough to live within walking distance of some distinctly lovely places and along with several other friends we spent today taking advantage of the sunshine and not being at school with an afternoon of foraging for elderberries and blackberries followed by a splash around in the river.

Then there were stripes

Life is still a bit wobbly and upside down here. I'm trying my hardest not to turn to my two favourite coping mechanisms of sugar and becoming a hermit!

I seem to have very much lost the will to craft as a result and haven't even been reaching for the kindle to continue reading the Dark-Hunter series. But yesterday afternoon I picked up my Color Affection WIP again and have now finished the first section and added four C1 stripes too...methinks my knitting mojo may be making a come back!
 

Birthday Boy!

Today was my, not so little, gorgeous boy Vaughan's 4th birthday. We all had a lovely day with fabulous friends and of course, chocolate cake!!  Here's his emo modelling pose wearing his new gnome hat.

Meh-ness

Whilst meh-ness is very much not a word, it sums up this week to perfection!  Everything is all incredibly crap and depressing and just, well, meh!

As a result I have got absolutely zero knitting done <sob>  I have managed to carry on with the Dark-Hunter series as I read late at night on my iPhone, so am now half way through book 5, Kiss of the Night.

We've had some spectacular storms today which not only suited my mood well but kept me and the kids amused as we danced and played in the rain.
