After a very hot June week - here in Somerset we broke the UK record for the hootest June day on Thursday although that was beaten by somewhere else the next day - it is feeling much cooler here this Saturday afternoon. We have hazy sun and a cooling breeze at times which is very pleasant.
We ventured out on Tuesday to an air conditioned restaurant and my Pilates class on Wednesday - in our village hall which is new and has efficient solar powered aircon/heating - was also a pleasure. Otherwise we have mostly been indoors drinking loads of water with a fan trying to keep the air moving.
Although I have done some sewing - and knitting - I have also been reading and got through two of Louise Penny's 'Three Pines' books and have just started a Salley Vickers book called ' Dancing Backwards'. I do love her books and am always happy to find one I have not read.
My Stitch Journal is up to date and records our hot week.
And I have been working into my tea and rust piece.
Sadly the sparkle I added in the way of beads and lurex thread does not show up in the picture. I am at the point of sitting back and trying to decide if it needs more stitch.
Also I have been knitting away and am up to the heel turn on this pair of socks which is using a WYS sparkle yarn.
These are for a much smaller foot than the last pair so coming along that bit quicker.
Looking forward to pottering about a bit in the garden this week as it gets cooler - maybe even having a day out! Happy stitching.
