But hell if this image isn't seered into my memory, as Kerry's uh antics in the far east were.

A year later. One bad guy down (came up for a peek and it was Ding Dong The Witch is Dead Day) and so many more to go.

And they still go on. Festering as always. Don't they.

In case you missed it, Tilly's Story by way of LGF. Time to read, or reread.

First day of school tomorrow.
Needles on fire.
Two wraps long overdue and a few more inches of The Mare.

Then the Viking Yarn.

I do thank you, all of you, who have telephoned. Glittergirl, thank you for the card. I got it a couple days ago, it's here, under the monitor, reminding me how much I miss all of you. Yaj, thank you, I do hope you are still flippin off those UN workers while you're holdin up the "peace process" there. Amy, finally opened the plain brown box. Never knew hemp could be so lovely.

Comments will be turned off ** update, they're on, I got carried away, and deleted em back to June or July of last year, whoops!, no way to recover 'em, yes my inner blond is alive and well..more on that later ** as I've had over 10k since last post. Will take me a few hours to delete them and need time. You've no idea how many spam messages gmail can hold until it has NO space left and actual things you wanted to keep are gone! TGB mail is flooded on my end. Things are a mess on the digital end but will recover.

Elizabeth, Wendy and Marie, hope you are well.

Yes Sarah (where are you and why can't i find you), it was a really long trip across the Steppes. Fortunately the ghee did come in handy. ;)

Looking forward to what everybody has been up to. Lot of reading, while knitting, of course.

Apologies to all. Sometimes life just happens.

And thank you, to the sudden inspiration where one least expected to find it.
