A new month

5th book read this year, another library book, not one I would pick but an interesting story and very enjoyable. I have read 5 of the 6 books chosen for me in January. 

I am now working on the second sleeve, the 1st sleeve has been left, I have knitted the bottom end twice, I am trying something different on this sleeve and will decide which I prefer, I don't like baggy sleeves. The fit of the jumper is great, it feels so warm. 

Hubby changed the light fitting in both the dining and sitting room, it's opened planned an so always looks better with matching fittings, just a very simple glass shade, easy to keep clean. We have purchased the bulbs so Alexa now can control the lights, so from the comfort of our chair we can turn on lights when reading and play with colour, works well when we have cats snuggled on our laps. 

Over the weekend we spent time visiting Su, daddy and boys, as part of their support bubble, and enjoyed a takeaway for tea, Will was very excited normally they pop to ours, but he was able to get out his toys to play together. Such a simple thing to do, I do feel blessed we can do this, we can't see any other of our grandsons, we watch and see numbers on the decline and hope, it's all we have is hope. 

January was a slow month but it's done again for another year, I don't feel we did much other than hide in the warmth of our home, but most years it's a nothing month. 

February can be over so quickly, so I have a few things I would like done, nothing much in the house, a few bits in the garden, loads of craft and some socks if my ball of yarn ever arrives. 

I am working on a project, it's one of those which came about after doing some sorting, I had to order a couple of items, waiting for the 2nd to arrive, probably have photo's in the next post, it's a happy task which should keep us pleased for months ahead.
