fields

S-L-O-W. That has been my mode these last couple of weeks. Oh and I just have had no time (read inclination) for the computer. Shrug and shrug. Usually I can have little addictive spurts but lately with a the hint of Autumn on the 6am dog walking breeze I just feel like knitting.



And cleaning my house and baking and chilling out. Being ill (a cold that lasts nearly a month? What is that all about?) has pounded it all home to me that sometimes life without the computer is a hell of a lot more relaxing than sitting here with people asking me questions and talking to me and me not even listening, but nodding and ignoring. Bleh. Boring. It's a lot like knitting. I have had not time for it over the summer, the thought made me turn away. Now I am a couple of items knit a week (a week!) I will post pics soon.



Lots of walking. Dog and children. Unlike everywhere else we have had no rain at all this last month. Heat and dryness. And the farmers in every direction making hay, straw bales and bringing in the wheat. These are my favourite field times. With the bales. So good. It feels like the end of summer when I see the bales. Last night I lit a fire in the sitting room to chase away the damp. It was good.



Then it finally rained. When it rains here we have to watch Ponyo. Ponyo is a rainy day film (all of that, um, rain). Knitting, fire, rain and food. We have had visitors, we have visited and we have swam in the river and camped and met with friends and done birthdays and the jazz that kids love.




But mainly for me, I just like being in my home. Or walking through the fields, children and dog.
