What I am doing

I am:

• Reading – The Lake District Murder, The Book Thief, Miss Tonks Turns to Crime and Stitched Up: The Anti-Capitalist Book of Fashion

• Eating – a lot of chocolate (mostly Co-Op Fair trade dark chocolate with cranberries), dried apricots and cheese

• Wearing – jeans and a knitted top (which I wore inside-out until I noticed it at nearly 4 this afternoon. Just as well I was working from home!l)

• Knitting – a purple scarf, a purple sock and a brown hat

• Feeling – tired, summery and hungry

• Wondering – if we’ll have a decent summer this year, where my camera charger could possibly be and what to knit next

• Appreciating – people who say thank you, people who show consideration for others (there might be some overlap between those two) and being able to work from home

• Looking forward to – a soak in a bubble bath, a yarny adventure with a friend later this month and Christmas!

• Plotting – parcels to put in the post, a surprise for Mr Lizard and how to obtain a fortune that will allow me to live a life of ease and luxury

• Remembering – the family friend whose funeral I am going to later this week, Tiananmen Square

• Admiring – the roses in my garden (ignoring them is obviously good for them), pretty stitch markers, my siblings who are all awesome

• Pretending – that I’m not all that tired really, that I know how to be a grown up, that I haven’t eaten to much chocolate today

• Hoping –that I can finish one of the blankets I am knitting this month, that I remember to put petrol in the car before I head off down the M40 and that I find my camera charger

• Procrastinating from: cleaning the fridge, replying to an email, and replacing the lightshade that fell apart and nearly landed on my head yesterday
