One neighbour is building a large carport. This will be a good thing because the building will block my view of their house and I am hoping it will also cut down on noise from their house and their house parties. The bad news is they're using a pneumatic nailer - which scares my silly noise phobic dog from stepping outside for more than 10 seconds (or until the next nail strike, whichever occurs first). I guess we'll see just how good her bladder really is.
Today I worked on garden chores after my day job until I had enough swatting of the mosquitoes and I was too itchy - either from sweating (it's 31 degrees celsius) or from my plants. I still like being outside and I still like being warm - you'll never get me to admit to the opposite!
I'm taking a break from crocheted creepy cuteness and I am knitting some socks. I know, they are so plain. My next pair is definitely going to be Monkeys or RPMs. I swear! I've heard good things about them. Also, I think the next sock yarn I buy will be a plain/solid colour so I can have fun with the fancy lace patterns which can get lost in the self patterning yarn.
This yarn is actually more vibrant than this picture shows - the yellow is a banana yellow and the blue is more of a light turquoise. I'll take a better photo later. Really. I will. I will.
And I thought you'd get a kick out of this: yesterday we were dropping the kid off at his grandparents who were taking him to Corteo/Cirque de Soleil. When I got in the car, I complimented him on a light coloured polo shirt he was wearing (very different from his usual West 49 dark skater style clothing he wears). He said "I like it too. Formal... but also casual". I guess for a 9 year old that's pretty much as formal as he's going to get, don't cha think?
