…. I have been busy at my end.
Kate has mailed out the schedule for her year-long readalong of Les Miserables. And she mentioned that she has marked the weekly installments on her copy.
I loved that idea and have done the same thing with my copy.
I may fall behind, I may get ahead, but I am sure that seeing the installments so clearly will help me through.
And I’ve been knitting a hat. And, for the very first time, knitting sideways instead of bottom up,
I love the pattern and I have learned, and now love, Japanese short rows No more wrapping stitches and getting confused about what to do with the wrap for me!
And I should mention that the pattern is Anlalya by Mary Kay Gumayagay.
And, of course, I’m reading. Miracle on Regent Street is a wonderful book to get lost in. London in December with just a touch of fairy dust.
I was particularly pleased when the story took me to a tavern in Lamb’s Conduit Street. Oh to have been there and to have had the chance to nip out to the Persephone bookshop. I should love to introduce Evie, the heroine, to Miss Pettigrew …
Meanwhile Briar sleeps. She did head to the front door, but when I opened it and she saw the rain she turned around, glared at me and climbed back on to her cushion.
Fleur in her World 
Aw, poor Briar doesn’t like to get wet, but I can’t say I blame her.
She loves swimming Kathy, but it has to be on her terms. Even at the age of six she hasn’t accepted that I can’t turn the rain off!
It’s raining heavily here too and my own little dog (called Aria) is also sleeping on the couch. I’m the one who took a look outside and decided we were staying in though!
Miracle on Regent Street sounds fun – enjoy!
Briar sounds like my Daisy…when it’s raining she just refuses to go past the threshold!! I think I would like Miracle on Regent Street…sounds lovely from your description. Have fun with Les Miserables!
I love Briar! That made me laugh out loud thinking about her glaring at you because it’s raining!
Yay for Miracle on Regent Street – I had the same reaction when they went to the Lamb’s Conduit too as about 18 months ago I went down to London and met up with a group of book bloggers and that’s where we met (it also incuded a little trip to Persophone).
I didn’t know about the Les Mis read-a-long. If it’s a year, then I think I want to join in – it’s the only way I’ll get it read otherwise (soooo big!). Thanks for the link – off to check it out 🙂
