So it has been like a week since the last post, and what a busy week it was. Working like crazy, because we are going away to my home town of Tallinn on 22nd, so its like EVERYTHING needs to be done before that. My knitting is pretty neglected as well, i mean i do labor on, but very VERY slowly. i thought i'd finish my comfort shawl this week, but no way now... Unless i stay up all night for three nights in a row.
I finished reading my book last week and to be perfectly honest, it did disturb me and not a little bit. I think when you have small children and a lot of responsibilities never ask yourself question about reality. No wonder all those existentialists were a miserable bunch. When you start doubting the reality of everything around you, suddenly everything becomes a question without many answers, and more you are trying to understand, more it feels like swimming in a cave lake in total dark. So i was a bit depressed for a couple of days and the whole family was tiptoeing around me. I guess for them my grumpy mood was pretty real!

Friday moods

Im so happy! We were supposed to be working this Saturday, but it all got canceled. Wheee, the whole weekend just for ourselves. So i booked tickets to see Hancock as a surprise for Colin tomorrow night. So exited! It was like 3 month ago the last time we went to see a film, we were so busy all the time.
I forgot to have a moan about the book i have bought, it turned out it is an old book by that writer, they just changed the name for American market. It is still a good book, but i was obviously hoping to get a new book, not just a new name... Aaanyway, i still like it, i read it in Russian last time, so now its English time.
And my Comfort Shawl is coming along nicely, i'm on a row 40, which is quite good, considering. Weekend here i come!

Update

Things are quite slow at the moment, we finished the Bitch From Hell job yesterday, luckily i didn't have to deal with her at all, my husband has taken that upon himself, which is nice. So now i can serf freely on the internet, not feeling guilty!!
I have started on the Comfort Shawl.
It wasn't as straight forward as i thought it was gonna be, i end up ripping it first time and starting it again because i lost the count and end up three stitches short, and then i couldn't work out where i lost the count. But its better now, and prettier because to be perfectly honest, chinese wool didn't impress me at all. So im using my leftovers from The Natural Dye Studio.
So looking forward to our holidays.
