So what do you do when you think the longed for rain is on it way but when some actually arrives it fizzles out two seconds later leaving everything slightly damp but not wet…….and not as warm as you’d like it to be?
Looking for something to do sounds good (wash clean cook iron…..no definitely not those sorts of things 🤭 ) something like rustling up a book plus something to keep your hands busy while you wait a while in a comfy armchair until the front has passed and some warmer air plus sunshine arrives
I gave up on A Lesson in Dying very early on. Couldn’t relate to it at all, picked it up – put it down- after a while decided I wasn’t in the least bit interested in who did the headmaster in. So……chose Lying beside You from ‘the pile’…..see this post
Here it is propped up by contents of my knitting bag (a very handy book rest – if the balls of wool wouldn’t move each time I turned a page).
Starting to renew my acquaintance with Cyrus and Evie (this is book 3 in the series) it’s been a while since I read the first two so some revision in the form of glancing at online reviews had to take place. The back of Mia’s jumper also got an airing and some rows added. The pattern says knit 102 rows then shape shoulder……by golly it seems to be taking forever to knit them. But then my mind has been elsewhere ……concentrating on the charity knits from a couple of weeks ago
Ta Da……Two boy’s shirts are finished – there are plans for more
when I get round to it
Slightly off topic…..
Our cooler Autumn nights now mean changes to nightwear…..sleeveless cotton nighties have been retired, arms (and legs) need covered so my silky pyjamas have made their seasonal appearance once more. Why the emphasis on silky ones?
So I can roll over in bed is the answer 😊
For some reason other pyjamas cling to the sheets which means I’m waking up feeling a bit ‘strangled’ in places, floundering about straightening tops and bottoms and having to sit up to roll over. Any attempt to do it lying down often results in some strong language coming out of my mouth as twisting can cause discs and nerves to come in contact with each other – I’m certainly not happy when that happens
It’s a different story when I wear my slippery silky pyjamas – they just slide and glide over the bottom sheet so there’s no friction at all.
And they have a smooth sleek s*xy feel to to them as well…..nothing wrong with that is there🤭😉

Sometimes it feels wonderful to put away a book and move on – I am close to that point with my current read.
Your jammies look great – and hooray for not being strangled in bed. I am weeding up a storm here. NOT before time.

I am sorry that the latest Cleeves book did not engage you. But there are so many books… I am glad you found one to settle in with! I have not quite given up on the cool weather jammies, it has been a chilly spring here with the exception of a few days. I am a tosser and turner as well and hate pjs that do not cooperate!

This isn’t her latest Kat – it’s a reprint of an earlier series from 1990. And definitely…..there are plenty more books to enjoy.

I’m all for being comfortable in bed and the rest of the day as well. I just abandoned an audiobook. Even though others have raved about it, it just isn’t for me so I returned it early to the library. The boys jumpers look so handsome.

Silk pyjamas, silk undershirts, and silk long underwear have been on my wish list for years. I’ve been too frugal to buy them! So silly, because from all I hear, they’re worth every cent. Would you be so kind as to point me in the direction of a good place to order them from, Cathy?
