Weeknote #30

• Last Friday evening I saw the final show of Maisie Peters’ The Good Witch tour

  • It was an incredible gig - I sang my heart out along with all my favourite songs and unexpectedly tapped into something deep inside me while enjoying Blonde and Lost The Breakup live

  • As a final show surprise, Maisie brought out Ed Sheeran and they dueted Lego House which was amazing. I was a huge Ed Sheeran fan as a teen but never thought I’d see him perform his older stuff live so it was such a great experience

• On the way home from the gig, I popped into my local chippy for a portion of chips and was inexplicably given a whole, deep fried potato for free in addition to my chips - very confused and I didn’t eat it in the end

• I finished knitting the main body of a baby snood and blocked it before seaming up the loop and adding the border - very happy with the basket weave pattern I’ve made

• Started working on a corded petticoat over the weekend - managed to get about 60% of the way through the machine sewing/cord insertion and it’s already impressively stiff

• Bought supplies to try making a reuseable fabric advent calendar

• Made a delicious lasagne with Nick

• My yarn advent calendar from Adventures in Yarncraft arrived! It’s so tempting to open it before December but I’m doing my absolute best to resist

  • I’ve already selected a pattern that I’d like to make with it which is rather ambitious: the Birch Pullover by Andrea Mowry which is a fingering weight fisherman’s rib pattern but I think the final result would be beautiful

• Spent 2 days cat sitting for Hamish again and got a full work from home day of cuddles on the sofa which he spent 3 hours of which napping tucked into my side

• I worked from our head office one day this week and spotted Jonathan Ross and his daughter, Honey, in our cafe as they were in to record a podcast episode

• Feel like I’m coming down with a cold which has drained me of a lot of energy this week
