Monday Morning Whining
Carrie, this one is for you! This is my mum wearing the first shawl I ever knitted - again with the purple. You can't see the pattern along the bottom edge too clearly, but the pattern up the middle shows up beautifully. Now all I have to do is hope that mum doesn't find out that I've been posting pictures of her on the internet!
It's Monday morning. I don't wanna. At least the temperature has fallen somewhat, although it's still quite humid. The weekend was okay - lots of sitting in front of the airconditioner and knitting. And watching dvd's. Naturally. Although we did venture out on Saturday to Penny's,
where I got a 1776 volume of Fordyce's sermons to young ladies. I love this kind of stuff - the attitude and behaviour of the young ladies as prescribed by the church tells you a lot about the church and the way young ladies actually behaved. I am a history nerd. I did my honours degree in Elizabethan history, about female Protestants and their role in penetrating the Catholic northern counties of Yorkshire.
Apparently I have to go to work now.
Good thing for the day: The sky is overcast and gloomy. My favourite.
Bad thing for the day: I'm not out on a wild international yarn shopping spree.

This really brought the time difference home to me! You're heading off to work on Monday mornng... and it's Sunday afternoon here...
Yep, Sunday evening here. Just don't want to go to work tomorrow :( I think the boomtown rats were right. The sermons to young ladies sound interesting. I love reading those sorts of things. Thank you for the compliments on Jasper - he's a very special boy who I acquired in a supermarket carpark on Christmas. Very much a ladies' man.
I was thinking the same thing, Chris! It's barely evening here Sunday night.....
I love old dictionaries. They have all sorts of odd things in them, Bible stories, etiquette lessons, cooking tips....
The shawl looks great! I can see the detail at the bottom too. At least it's your mother's back! lol.
On the upside, my Monday is almost over and yours is just about to begin!
I just got my package from Holly Sprung Homespun (Two Months after it was posted. Expect pretty pictures in tomorrow's entry!).
mrspao - It's so true that cats are sent to you sometimes! I would love to hear that story!
