Hi everyone and a wonderful Wednesday to you all.
Woke up this morning and felt the urge to go out and build an Ark, but unfortunately it would have been too late, the deluge had already started, the rads were like fast flowing rivers with the occasional lakes along the way, the bow waves from the cars as they swooshed through the water was fantastic to see, the wind was howling and all in all I felt good with the world, especially as I was in a tin can with wheels and dry, I may have felt differently if I had been on foot bending against the wind with wet feet, but I wasn't thank goodness. Positively the duck pond must be refilling, the dust will have been washed off the roads and the ground nicely watered. How I love our british weather.
As I had to go the bank I looked out for a new wool shop that I had been told about, (new to me that is) Calon Yarns in Cardiff, and dropped in to see what they have to offer and came away with a pair of KnitPro bamboo tips and KnitPro 100 cm interchangeable needle cable which may revolutionise my knitting, apparently no more aching arms, we shall see and I will report back when I have used this system for over a week to see if they really do improve my knitting posture, only an investment of £5.00 so not too bad really. There were some lovely yarns all tastefully displayed, a knitter's paradise. Not only do they sell yarns, they have a nice sofa seating area for about 10 people to browse patterns, but more importantly this area is available for those who want to join them on a Monday or Friday between 9.00am to 11.00am for a social knit/chat, no charge, no pressure just be there and spread the word. Guess where I am going to be this Friday all being well! And tomorrow night there is a craft group at a cafe locally, hopefully I will be there and lo and behold it is Quilters group this Saturday, am I finally getting a social life in Cardiff?
On this wet and blustery day I wish you all well and hope that wherever you are in the world you are having a good day and leave you with a short excerpt from the Rime of the Ancient Mariner. Bye all and thank you for reading
Rime of the Ancient Mariner (Excerpt from)
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
All in a hot and copper sky,
The bloody Sun, at noon,
Right up above the mast did stand,
No bigger than the Moon.
Day after day, day after day,
We stuck, nor breath nor motion;
As idle as a painted ship
Upon a painted ocean.
Water, water, every where,
And all the boards did shrink;
Water, water, every where,
Nor any drop to drink.
