My swim went well. I drugged up before hand and it went better than expected. So well that by the time I got home, I had decided I would walk the dogs. Clever me. I got half way around the block and my left leg went. Or rather my left hip. At least I think it's the hip. Not sure. It hurts from there but the whole leg just stops responding. Fortunately, it was just the small block(20min) so I got home without having to summons assistance via my mobile phone. Not that I would know who to call.
I finished the entire 5 series of Cold Feet last night. Oh dear, I wasn't expecting anyone to die. They did. One of the main characters was killed in a car accident. I was shocked and upset. It is ONLY a tv series, I told myself but still, one had got to know these people and having one die like that was gut wrenching. It wasn't so much her death as the aftermath. The effect it had on her friends and husband. It was that which I found gut wrenching. John was not here. He thinks it odd that I cry at films and tv shows. 'It's just a film!!!' he will say. No point explaining I guess. Music can make me cry too. It can also make me feel ecstatic.
Still no summer here. The longest has been and gone and still we have no summer.
I finally sorted out an aran swatch that I like. It 's in 100% wool using 2 ends of 4ply(fingering) together which gives the equivalent of 200mtrs per 100gms. The colour is airforce blue. I am using 3.75mm needles. I tried using 3.5mm but although the swatch was nice to feel and see, it was too hard to knit. I am amazed that just upping the size by .25mm made such a difference.
Another long stretch, but hoping to be more regular

I'm laughing because you are, truly, in every way a typical couple. One cries at films, the other reminds that it's "only a movie." I cry at anything the least bit sad in movies and Jim sits there with that blasted slightly bemused look smiling at me. I want to say, "It's sad, it feels real, cry damn it!" I guess there needs to be one of both in a relationship or the floors would forever be wet (and not from puppies).
I agree completely about caring for TV, movie or book characters. That's why I watch/read favorite ones over and over! Once we've watched or read them once, we know what to expect and there are no surprises to shock us or cause grief. Works for me!
I love reading a series of books from start to finish cuz I get to know all the main characters well and have new friends while I'm in the book with them.
Not that any of them would be good to call in an emergency either. :|
