Don’t even ask…

Monday, October 17th, 2011

Well, if you must….the answer is no.

I’m afraid to say.

I don’t really have an excuse, other than that life somehow always seems to get in the way.

I think I managed a grand total of 3 rows yesterday on the unfinishable sock. Three measly rows. That’s not a lot. At all.

Why?

Hard to say. Life I suppose. Life got in the way. Everybody was here and every time I picked up the needles it set off a little alarm in somebody’s head…’muuuuum……’. I did French, twice. Lots of vocabulary. How come I still remember all the words, 30 years on, yet those who purport to have learned them look at me as if I’m from another planet and claim (always with great vehemence) ‘that’s not on the list’? The words always were on the list – and I can only say that today I think I still know all the words better than those who should….mmm tricky…..but we keep plodding on…

Only the sock doesn’t really. It’s interminable and I’m almost tempted to put it to one side, but that would be admitting defeat….by a sock…

And I’m not going down that path…..barefoot….

    I had a fine list of things to do today drawn up – don’t think I got a single one done! TAking the cats to the vets to get their stitches out took the morning on top of usual chores, and this afternoon was one of those mysterious ones where you’re busy all the time but don’t get much concrete done. Oh well! There’s always tomorrow …

    Having teenagers is a great way to improve your French, it did wonders for mine, too!! :O

    Oh, and I haven’t finished my knitting, either…
