I’m feeling fairly contented at the moment. I’ve been making good use of my free Fridays to really take in the city centre - it’s a beautiful place with some wonderfully varied and quirky architecture that makes me wish I had a decent camera and rather more skill as a photographer. Fridays show the place in a different light, much calmer and less rushed and busy than Saturdays, and the last few sunny Fridays have seemed to be full of people with contented smiles and cheery looks for strangers.

I’ve also taken the time to do a little non-work writing, which I’d lost the habit of (witness this poor, neglected blog!) and didn’t really know how much I missed until I put pen to paper again. I think maybe it’s always like that.

And, of course, I’ve been spinning. Here’s my first attempt at spinning something with a high proportion of slippery fibre - 125m of ~dk weight 50:50 alpaca bamboo, spun from a batt from Butterflygirl Designs. Bamboo is immensely slippery to work with, but the finished yarn has wonderful drape and sheen.
