I had to take a few enforced days off from my knitting due to RSI. Of course, it couldn't have happened at a worse time when there are three Christmas projects on the needles. My hands and wrists are so swollen I've had to remove my rings and watch. The pain is worse in the elbows - and I don't even play tennis!

God does not play dice with the universe; He plays an ineffable game of His own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of the players, (ie everybody), to being involved in an obscure and complex version of poker in a pitch-dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a Dealer who won't tell you the rules, and who smiles all the time. Terry Pratchett

A good plan isn't one where someone wins, it's where nobody thinks they've lost. Terry Pratchett |

The world is made up of four elements: Earth, Air, Fire and Water. This is a fact well known ...... It's also wrong. There's a fifth element, and generally it's called Surprise. Terry Pratchett

 In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. In Flanders fields. John McCrae, May 1915 |

All truth, in the long run, is only common sense clarified. Thomas Huxley |

It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was Us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things. Terry Pratchett |

 My great-neice's birthday is coming up in a week's time. Instead of the usual 'educational' present, I decided to spoil her with some Posh.

 I had this fabulous skein of Posh Yarn, 100% alpaca,in purple, just waiting for the right project. And then I thought - I need a neck warmer to wear at Red Hatting events.So I set to and clickety clacked my favourite scarf pattern until it had the pre-requisite number of repeats completed. Then I cast off and, would you believe, it was time to go to lunch wearing the Red Hat. The scarf needs a gentle blocking but I'm really pleased with how well it goes with the outfit I chose for yesterday. ( More pics )

Oh the comfort of feeling safe with a person; having neither to weigh thoughts, nor measure words, but to pour them all out just as chaff and grain together, knowing that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keeping what is worth keeping and with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away. George Elliot
