Geez. What a week. Work, health, life… pah. And I even got my period. Enough said.
All this means that Hedera has foxed me – angry/grumpy/sad people cannot count to twelve very well, I have discovered. In an effort to redeem myself, I’ve frogged and am starting on these pretty things instead. Hurray for the pattern finding joy of Ravelry! I intend to start work first thing tomorrow so that I can show them off to my friends at this weekend’s Knitpic. Fingers crossed for sunshine! 
I had a happy find in the charity shop today. Thrift shopping has really turned into part of the weekly routine (you know how it is when you get a paycheck and you want to spend – only my paycheck won’t quite cover ‘real’ shops). Anyhow, I found a dusky pink handknit bolero in what seems to be a wool/cotton mix. Needs a new ribbon, but is otherwise in pretty good shape:
The crappiness of the week was finally overcome by these pictures by Geneviève Castrée, which I stumbled across at Inside a Black Apple:
Look closely at the textures and you’ll see what I mean! [Disclaimer: bit of a geek about illustration].
So now I’m left with two tasks for the next week:
1) Find a cinema showing Persepolis – I’ve been hooked on Marjane Satrapi for ages (the funky postcards you get when you order from l’association may also have fed my enthusiasm…)
2) Find a psychiatrist. Practically impossible, even though I work with (literally) about a hundred of them. I wonder how much it would cost to go private *sigh*.
Maybe it’s wise to add another few:
3) Make a decision about jumping ship at work…
4) Think of calm things. A lot.
Bon ski, bon snow…
