Apparently fiction's not my thing right now. Though I did read the first half-dozen chapters of LOTR.

And I'm on day 24 of my advent calendar yarns. So one more colour and then ribbing, neck and sleeves. Sweater may be readty for next winter.

Vandal

I was looking forward to lying in the new bath looking out through a window framed with a tring of little twinkly LED lights. But, sometime during Sunday night it fell to the ground. I picked it all up. All the many short pieces of copper wire that someone had been "playing" with. One smol varmint looked very disappointed as I took her new favourite toy away.

She's also discovered jumping in the bath, still not plumbed in. No danger of drowning, yet.

Also balancing on the lovely curvy edges.
