Snapshots from the car

I was driving to pick up the kid... so I just shot without looking =)

The idea was to show how TERRIBLY dry it is... it has only rained once since we came back at the beginning of August.

I promise...

I promise this is it... today it was all just grey and ugly, but yesterday looked like this... I HAD TO share

At the pool

I'm so lucky!

Yesterday was an excellent mail day... I received a package from my mother, and then a lovely package from a lovely person who offered to order me a kit from The Plucky Knitter for the absolutely incredible Color Affection shawl by Veera Välimäki

(the colourway is Hippie Hippie Chic)

  
      As you can see it's not all that Heliraj sent me!!!


Today I received some consolation yarn (no hugs for me because          I'm going through a therapy for hyperthyroidism and must stay apart from the kids) from Handu dyed by Ilu... 

 
accompanied by the usual super cute buttons!

And then I got to see the cave-man, who is in hospital recovering from an operation... (He's all recovered if you ask me, and has lost weight... too much skin under his chin.) =) Glad he's okay again!

Some knitting..

There has been knitting, but no one to model the cowls and things... so only photos taken by Minerva of my new sweater:

                                       Idlewood by Cecily Glowik MacDonald

I used Rowan Felted Tweed Aran in the colourway Heather

Very quick, very easy but next time I would make it less wide on the hips!

The Buxus shrub in front of our house is looking like this.

Driving in December...

Looks more like spring than December...
