December already?

Where did the year go? 

It's been a slow week as I've had a cold (and migraines), but feeling better now, apart from bouts of coughing.

Managed to get the grass mowed yesterday...

And we are finally getting a reprieve from the horribly strong winds we've had for weeks...   

The garden and especially the roses have taken a battering...

But with the calmer weather we have been getting some lovely sunsets...

I did get Hazel's Christmas blanket finished...

And it got the tick of approval from these four...

I undid the vest I was knitting.  I was using the recommended needle size (4mm), but I decided I wanted a softer more open weave knit...

So I'm now using 5mm needles and am happy with the softer, looser knit...

I read somewhere that as the Gospel of Luke has 24 chapters, if you start the 1st December and read 1 chapter a day, you will be finished for Christmas!  

I'm going to do it.  

Anyone want to join me?

Have a blessed week my friends!
