Foul weather today. It’s raining. Now, considering that we’re in a drought, and Sydney apparently has only a year’s worth of water in the dams, normally I’d be over the moon to see rain.
\nToday I booked in to hire the carpet shampooing machine from the supermarket. I have to do it this weekend – next weekend Em’s dancing, and the weekend after that I’m having a surprise mystery guest. So we shampooed the carpet anyway, and had the heater out and the fans to try to dry it out.
\nSky shot!

\nClouds, clouds, clouds. My laundry pile is growing too – it’s been raining all week. Except over the dams, where we want it to rain!
\nDriveway shot. Who’d believe that it was 38C here last week??

\nHowever, after shampooing the carpet and doing a grocery shop, I knitted. I now have a finished Fluted Bannister sock.

\nI cast on Butterfly and ripped it out *again*. I just can’t get the gauge right. It’s a tad small on 4.5mm, a tad large on 5mm. I think the knitting Gods are punishing me. After all, I said that I would finish DH’s sweater and<\/i> Em’s stripey sweater before Butterfly. So that’s what I’ll do. I have now put the Noro away until the lime and pink sweater is done.
\nAt least I’ll try! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
