"Every night, just when the dark was softest and sleep was deepest, there came a loud noise from the end of the great room. It came from the place where the loom and spindle stood, where by day the grandmother spun and the mother wove."

Eucalyptus Silk Update

Yesterday the spinning/plying of the silk was finished. I now have a grand total of 2,483 metres at 28 wpi! Next stop, a hand knitted shawl! Good Grief!

Have had a bit of a sinus headache for a couple of days now....Am wishing desperately for some rain to clear the air. The sinuses won't settle until that happens and I'm never very good with one of these heads!

The felines are a little unsettled as well. Gale force winds have been predicted and the cats always go a bit crazy in this weather. The girl has been racing around like a mad thing picking fights with the boy; the boy is driving me nuts by alternately asking to play ball or have his tummy scratched. Its quite difficult to get things done when there is a large upside-down cat flopped across one's feet or when one is constantly being meowed and tugged at..... Bring on the Rain!
