Welcome to...

...wet & soggy East London and Essex.

I really should have known that my luck couldn't hold out much longer. I had managed to miss the downpours two days running - it couldn't last.

It didn't...

Leaving work yesterday evening was not well timed. In the five minutes it takes to walk from the office to Stratford station I was soaked and covered in a layer of slush (the ice from the hail stones). Has anyone else noticed that since the hosepipe ban came into force it has hardly stopped raining...

Anyway, it was not a pleasant journey home. It is most uncomfortable feeling that damp and very difficult on a packed train not to drip on folk. So the first course of action when I got home was to dry out and warm up - once the old fingers defrosted a bit I did a bit more 'baby jumper' knitting - I'm about two-thirds through another one.

However, I thought I'd let you see the items that I had been knitting before the 'call to needles'.

The black/blue/lilac scarf is the same type of yarn as the beige one I showed a few posts ago and the pink/green/olive one is in the new yarn that I got from In2Crafting. I have a couple of other colours in each of these yarns that are waiting to be knitted.

With the way the weather is continuing, I don't think I'll be packing away my scarves any time soon. Everywhere is just sooooooooooooooo cold and damp.

TGIF as at least over the weekend I can decide whether I want to go out or not and if 'not' I can snuggle up with a coffee and just watch the weather through the window.

At the moment things don't look too fab in the outside world - there is a very heavy mist and the temps have dropped again.

I wonder if things would warm up and dry out if they cancelled the hosepipe ban....................................................
