Summer Storm

Together we lie, in bed. I can hear the dog's faint snoring, the rain outside falling in heavy droplets. I am warm, I am content. I try to sync my breathing to yours but it only makes me start to panic, so I stop. The rain has slowed. So has our breathing. We are one. Thunder, one roll, quiet. The second roll is louder. By the third, we are asleep.

Long time, no post

It's been a while! A year and a half! In that time I've made things, had good times with friends and lost nearly 40lbs. It's springtime now, edging into summer; my cats adore the sunny days when they occur! At the moment we're getting very mixed weather, blazing sunshine and then pouring rain and back again, but when it's sunny it's lovely here.

My little old lady cat, Fleur, adores the sun. If it's sunny you can always find her in the garden, charging her solar panels.

Two weekends ago, my boyfriend and I celebrated 6 years of our relationship. I can't believe it's been so long! We had a lovely day at an event at his university, listening to live music and drinking cider.

Craft-wise, I'm currently crocheting a long-term project, a hexagon blanket using the Hexagon How-to from Attic24 for my bed. I'm knitting the Still Light Tunic by Veera Välimäki. That's also a long-term project, being in sport weight and being so big! But I'm really enjoying it and it grows surprisingly fast at times. And it goes nicely with my Converse hi-tops.

Well, that's about all for now but I'm resolving to blog more from now on. Adios amigos!
