First day back at work, and we awoke to the wind roaring through the trees like an express train and rain hammering against the windows. Win. I dragged my sorry butt into the office and rather wished I hadn't - a sea of "I can't believe we're back at work already" faces greeted me ☺ Working from home is my dream, I tell you.
I managed to sort out an organic veggie box - I went with Abel & Cole in the end, not as "local" as I would have liked but they seemed like a solid, reliable option with the ability to pick and choose what goes in your box. As I am a tiny bit fussy about my veggies this was a bit of a necessity - I'm not sure what I'd do with celeriac for example. Something that tastes like celery? Hmmmmm.....
In House News the mice are still here, but our Cunning Plan™ to put all the tasty noms in unchewable containers seems to be working. We've just got to remember not to leave the plates unscraped at night - I came down to discover the overcooked onion rings had been strewn all over the worktop ☺ not eaten though, maybe mice don't like burned food any more than I do!
We've also got some craziness going on with the electrics - the downstairs lighting circuit keeps fusing, which is fun as we have an old-style fuseboard with big pull fuses. The sort with wire in - you know, the sort of wire you can't find at 9 o'clock at night in the dark ☺ Fortunately Steve has chased up the agents and they're sending in the electricians...
In Fibre News, I have started combing the enormous Shropshire fleece. I carded and spindle-spun some of it, but realised I wasn't enjoying it At All, so I've resorted to the English combs. I'd like a set of mini-combs, as I think they'd be more appropriate for this shortish, Downs-type fleece, but I'm struggling to get a response on one set I was interested in. I might go for the Majacraft two-pitch ones. We'll see - we need a dishwasher more urgently than I need combs ☺
