I keep meaning to blog more often, but this week's been so busy at work I just flake out in the evening and don't get much done at all. I've been slowly doing the odd bits of needlepoint, like this mainly blue tablemat, and piecing together hexagons for patchwork. I'm amazed that some people blog every day. How do they find the time!!?!! Though I suppose they're just organized and don't fritter away valuable minutes doing Sudoku puzzles and looking at goofy cats on icanhazcheezburger.
Last weekend was so lovely and sunny I spent Sunday morning up on the allotment. I'm preparing a patch of ground to grow sweetcorn in. How well it will do I've no idea. So far I'm planning sweetcorn, courgettes, beans, some spuds and on the flower front - larkspur, lupins, marigolds and nasturtians. (I don't think I've spelt that last one properly, but the dictionary's gone awol ...) This is the view from my allotment patch:
On a good day it's a wonderful spot. You hear lots of birdsong, and it's such a relaxing place to while away an hour or two.
The only other things I've been doing (apart from scoffing way too many chocolate HobNobs) are reading 'The End of Mr Y' by Scarlet Thomas (weird, good, not sure where the story's going ...), posting more photos on Flickr (I heart Flickr!) and watching Sunset Boulevard again on my ancient video recorder. Gloria Swanson - fabulous!! What a gal.
Just one more image to post, then I'm done for now ...
Another piece of fishy needlepoint in every colour of the rainbow.
