Since I started this on May 2nd, I’m doing an extra post today to make up the numbers.
I actually have a confession this week, I cheated. I wrote all the posts for this week on Tuesday and just scheduled them to automatically post throughout the week. Because it has so totally been one of those weeks. I have just walked through it. And as all the pieces start falling into place, I forsee a lot more walking through weeks in the near future. After that, hopefully things will calm down. But until then, I feel like taking a very long vacation where there are no phones, computers or appointments. Ok, I probably couldn’t live without my computer. No phones though. And a biiiig stack of books. And a white sand beach and frou frou drinks. With umbrellas.
Anyway. Let’s shoot for some form of normal, yes?
Today’s Blogs:
A Beautiful Life: Pictures, pictures, pictures. Awesomeness.
Pancakes & French Fries: This is Jules. I first came across this post through some random googling and have been a reader since.
WIPs:
These haven’t progressed much: Favorite Yoke, Lizard Ridge, Rainbow Red socks.
This is the only new thing: Sahara in Sirdar Baby Bamboo in Waterbaby. Which is… I think it has the potential to be lovely. And the potential to be a disaster. Although at the moment it doesn’t seem very important because the temperature has dropped back down to 50F. And it’s cloudy.
And now the weekly thing.
Things I Am Loving This Week:
I’m rather short on things I am loving this week.
There’s this blog post by John Taylor. (I am seriously considering renaming this spot “Duran Duran Thing Of The Week”.)
And this interview (youtube link) with David Tennant.
The best bit of the interview?
Jeremy Clarkson: What’s the top speed of the Tardis?
David Tennant: It’s relative.
Geek humor!
Something Good: A new-to-us car. And there is coffee in my very near future. Coffee is good.
Knitting: See above.
Reading: The Once and Future King by T H White.
Writing: Working on character stuff. Also started a new story but that’s dragging a bit. My head’s just not in writing mode this week.
This Week’s Plan: Get into defensive scheduling mode. At the moment there’s something on Monday and then the new car needs the exhaust fixed. But it’s one of those weeks where you just know it’s gonna get filled up with odd little things. I need to remember to find balance between outward pulling important stuff and inward creative stuff. I’m going a bit too far outward at the moment.
How about you?

Thanks for the link! But also: don’t you love T.H. White? Wouldn’t it be fabulous if someone took on “Sword in the Stone” and “Once and Future King” and turned those into gorgeous, big, budget films like LOTR? Of course, then everyone would know about the awesomeness of the books, and they would no longer be my special gift I could share with fellow readers. Hmm, the reader’s conundrum.

Shh… you shouldn’t have even told us about the future posting. I would have never noticed! Love the blog post from my fav Duran - John. Huge crush on him! You sound more upbeat in this post. Hopefully things are looking up!

I love the colour of Sahara. It looks so peaceful. I hope it makes you feel peaceful when you knit it.
That’s really funny about your auto-posting. Good for you

I love the waterbaby color you picked. But then, I’m a water baby, and all blues and bluegreens speak to me

Thank you for the link love!
You are such a talented knitter…I have gift certificates for my neighborhood yarn store for knitting lessons. I would love to be 1/16th as talented as you.
