Wow! Look, Sunshine in My Garden.....

000_0008_1 At last, near the end of March, the sunshine in all its spring glory, has visited our garden!  I just CANNOT wait any longer for Winter to pass.  Winter is fun - at first.  But now I have had enough.  The weather in England has a reputation for rain, rain and more rain.  It hardly EVER rains.  It's just grey, grey, grey.  We are always under threat of having to queue up and get our water from standpipes every summer (honestly) because it never rains enough year round.  Or is it because the water companies let billions of gallons seep through badly-maintained water pipes?  But that's another whinge.

Anyway, despite the sunshine I do not feel my usual glowing self today.  Knitting is not good for my physical being.  Up until about a month ago I was exercising every day and eating very healthily. I FELT GREAT EVERY DAY. Since taking up knitting, I never exercise (preferring to knit instead) and I just grab a couple of biscuits here and there, instead of making healthy and nutritious things to eat.  I no longer go to bed at about midnight, preferring to stay up and knit.  And when I go to bed I do not sleep.  I restlessly dream of knitting/yarn,creating...........  I am hunched over my knitting, I will become a hunch-back.  My lips are pursed and my brow is furrowed in intense concentration.  I am suffering from an acute lack of sleep and a general lack of energy and vitality.  But I can't stop.

000_0015_1 Crikey, how I'm enjoying myself.  All those items, those beautiful and inspired objects I will create.  The gorgeous somethings I will design with barely any effort at all. I must not stop.............
