Holding on, Post #9

It is a truth universally sometimes acknowledged that sometimes even moving forward feels like standing still.

So, I've been writing, I've done a bit of overload work along with my usual, and I've been working out, and I feel as though I've done nothing.

So, anyway, what's good?

*Camellias, azaleas, redbud all blooming in my front and back yard.

*Bernardine Evaristo's Girl, Woman, Other.

*Watching 2/3 of the recent Howards End adaptation. Hayley Atwell is amazing, and Matthew MacFadyen, heart heart heart (even though Henry Wilcox is hardly my beau ideal). The ginger beard -- [chef's kiss]. Also, the visuals are soothing.

*Have been knitting a knobbly misshapen scarf-tie in the hopes of using up a variety of yarn ends.

*Zawe Ashton on BBC Radio 4, on Saturday Live, talking about her book Character Breakdown. Love love love.

Hugs and a good Sunday/start to your week!

Hugs! I'd love to see your scarf when it's done, it sounds like fun.

I started my Easter-Ostara-Spring cards project, and I am going to be brave and go with Paul to his Mythie meeting today.

Yay for using up yarn ends and for good books, tv and radio.

Many hugs back and hopes for a good week ahead.

Even a knobbly misshapen scarf is therapeutic knitting and good on you!

As always, I bask in the glow of your good things lists. Hoping Monday felt more like forward motion, and many hugs from the left coast.
