Jesse's photo of Jacaranda on the roof

Yesterday it rained. A lot. A whole lot of water, but also a whole lot of Jacaranda and now there are a whole lot of bees. That first photo is courtesy of Jesse - who is tall enough to see the roof and realise it was worth photographing. Being that tall may mean he doesn’t get to the top of my knitting queue often but it has to have some advantages right? It’s only fitting that he should photograph the roof and I the ground.

And look what came in the post today. This is the first time the posty has ever handed me a sack!

What's in the sack?

The second instalment of birthday books! Unlike the last parcel three of these were from the top of my wishlist and I am ecstatic.

Birthday books!

Today was somewhat gruelling but all of a sudden in the late afternoon everything came together. I collected this parcel from the post office, received some wonderful news from a dear friend and then (at last) got the definite go ahead for my emrbyo transfer tomorrow. If you pray tomorrow would be a good day to pray for us.

And finally - one of the best things about daylight savings. There is a enough light to (sort of) take photos of my sleeping beauty.

you’ve got some pretty good books there. I’ve wanted “the pleasures of knitting” for some time now. I have the other two books, and they’re great.

So glad you got some books you love. Will definately make up for the not so lovable books from last time. We will definately be thinking of you and sending good thoughts your way.

I noticed all the jacarandas out on my way home from work today - beautiful - it almost looks like the light in Isabelle’s room matches the light under the trees, that gorgeous glow. I hope everything went well for you today - my fingers crossed for both you and Z for winter babes. Take care.

Jo -

Thanks for stopping by. Did you notice that your stitch markers were in use? They’re on the Lace Leaf needles.

Love the purple rain, the adorable child, and the first sock.

Knit on!

is ‘Knitting For Anarchists’ on your list?
