I Dream of Iced Tea

Now that it's starting to be consistently warm I'm finding myself pining for cool, refreshing drinks - and every time I walk past the stone fruit at the supermarket the smell makes my mouth water. I'm not a huge fan of their taste but the scent is irresistible. So while the garden responds to the shift in the weather by bolting... I'm making iced tea.

These strange little blossoms are cuter than the iced tea, though.

Is It Summer Now, Or...?

While I continue to get absolutely no knitting done (but the writing hasn't faltered yet, so I think that's a plus) I have still made some time for the garden. So far we've had the most dismal spring I can remember, and this week - the last fortnight before summer - we have finally had some heat. The last three days were hot! It's been having quite an effect.

The colour of this bloom is genuinely fluorescent.

Oops I Finished It

So much for a simple project to fill my little spare time for the month - I finished that the day after my last post. Oops?

NaNoWriMo and Me: Why My Knitting is On Hold

Ever since I was a kid I've dreamed of being an author. I mean, who doesn't? It's not a rare dream, and those with the talent and passion to follow through are the part that's hard to come by. I'm not even sure I have either of those but what I do have is a sort of idiotic ambition. Sure, I might not have put in the hard yards yet, but I can, and I'm gonna get there any day now!

How do you write?

In that mindset I am, once again, participating in National Novel Writing Month this November (and probably not as much knitting as I'd been planning).
