Here we are again.

The dogs have been walked, bed made after a couple of hours airing, washing up done and bathroom bottomed.
That is the biggest half of my jobs list sorted.
So it is time to sit down for a mardle with you all., 10:28 by the 'puter clock,  not too shabby at all.
I was good, I finished the striped jumper and picked up the pink cardigan WIP, all I had left was 28 rows on each sleeve and the finishing off. Well, I buckled down and sewed the shoulder seams and picked up the border stitches, all 299 of them, and have knitted half the rows. This is a deep V neck pattern that I have adapted from a waistcoat pattern. It is the second time that I have made it up with sleeves, this one is for Francesca.

I will get it finished by bed time tonight and (fingers crossed that I have them) sew the buttons on. I would usually leave that until it was blocked but I so want to label this as Completely Finished. My WYS yarn should be in the YarnNyarn shop soon and I plan a series of socks. 3 pairs in each colourway and hopefully a scrappy pair. That will see my gift sock knitting done and dusted.

There are a couple of patterns that I have in mind for late summer knitting, I hope that most of my time will be in the garden during summer.

Dinner tonight will be a fridge bottom special, there will be peppers and mushrooms, maybe eggs, maybe rice or pasta. I have fresh ginger and lots of garlic so it could be a version of Dirty Cajun Rice, or it could be a pasta bake. Depends on how I feel when I start. It will not be potato as we had fish pie last night and I have no more sweet potato.
Hmm, I quite fancy a roasted veg and pasta combination right now, but things can, and likely will, change.

If the SO gets rained off we may fit in a shopping run this afternoon, the forecast was quite vague but promised rain today and dry tomorrow. I do not want to waste a dry day with shopping. There will be washing and I do not go out with it pegged out. You can almost guarantee that will bring the rain on 5 minutes before I get back.

Fingers crossed that my spindle will arrive today, it was dispatched within an hour of my order going in, I was impressed at getting the email so quickly. Now it is all down to the Post Office, I may be harboring false hope. They are not known for their swiftness. Just their exorbitant prices.

I am making no plans for the weekend, I will go with the flow and the weather. I have plenty to keep me busy both in and out of doors, I could never complain that my life is boring and predictable. Thank goodness.
If my Granny heard anyone say that they were bored she would have a job, usually not so nice, for them in an instant. I learnt at an early age to be busy at all times and have a myriad of things available to turn to. 
"The devil makes work for idle hands" and "only the boring get bored" were 2 of her sayings and in all my life with her I never saw her idle or bored.

 On that uplifting(?) note I am off to work through the remainder of my list before lunch. Home made carrot and lentil soup, mmm, I had lentil, buckwheat and banana pancakes for breakfast this morning. Oh well, not to worry I like all the pulses and they are good for me.
