Oh poo.

It’s rainy and dreary and feels like winter already. Dark evenings, cold chilly bits and pieces, too much clothing, etc.

It has made me feel gloomy today and I feel like hibernating. I want to climb into a velvety box and curl up and go to sleep for a few months. I feel the nights closing in and a great urge upon me to hoard some nuts.

Not that I can eat too many nuts.

In fact I really should be eating a lot less of everything but I am comfort eating. I really should try and snap out of it!

I have been sewing this week. I have re-discovered my love of sewing. It won’t last. Like so many of my little fads it will burn out in a week or two when I move onto something else but in the meantime I am trying to make the most of this spell. The other day the girlie and I were watching Blackadder. A common enough occurrence. I happened to notice Queenie’s little pomander stick that she has on a girdle and thought ‘I want one like that’. So I made me one. And another. And another one for a friend. And another one – in black - which I have called Black Rod. Mind you, ‘Black Rod’ conjures up ……..no I won’t go there. I will post a pic later and you can see what you think.
