todayiamadaisyThere is no weekly knitting photo this week, I'm afraid. I have not done any knitting at all since I finished the first sleeve. Shameful.
If I said to you, "Don't stand on that with your big splore foot!", would you know what I meant? Is "splore" a word people use?
I bought a set of mini shelves the other day. I mean, really mini. You could fit a teaspoon on each one. I'm not really sure what I'll do with them, but while I decide, I disassembled them and painted the pieces white. I left them drying on top of the washing machine and when I came back there was a big foot print in the middle of one of them. It was Alistair, obviously. Not my mother.
Anyway, I was going to say that he'd walked over it with his big splore feet, but I was struck with the idea that I'd never really heard anyone else say that. And it's surpassing hard to find examples online. I suspect it may be some sort of local family/City by the Sea/Victorian/Australian usage?
I am going to the opera tonight. The Marriage of Figaro. And that's about all the news from here.
