It's Friday! Time to share our blessings of the week and link up with Susanne and other like minded bloggers here.
Here are my five:
1) A trip to a Wool Show last Sunday with members of the Knit & Natter group. We had a lovely time browsing lots of stalls in a hotel venue not too far from here. Afterwards we all went for a Sunday Roast dinner at a local pub. I bought myself a sock pattern plus a pattern for a jumper and the wool to make it. I just have to get my squares blanket finished first!
2) We managed to get the plumber to look at our boiler and it's going to be replaced on Sunday so hopefully that will be the end of showers going cold on us.
3) A knit and natter session on Wednesday. Always nice to meet up and get some knitting done. I managed to sew quite a few more squares together for the blanket.
4) The house is looking a bit more normal with the Grandkids toys back downstairs and we've found a carpenter to make the fitted units for the living room so progress being made.
5) Thankful that I'm retired and can spend time going through the books on my TBR pile and allocate some to the prompts for the book challenge I'm doing. I've managed to fill nearly half of the prompts and I've also ordered some books from the library for a few more. I'm also thankful for reading time.
The weekend will probably be quiet although the plumbers will be here most of Sunday. Hopefully we won't get too cold while the work is being done!
Have a good weekend all.

Your thankful lists are always good reading, Wendy! Would love to see your knitting projects! I could never master the knitting needles! Have a good weekend!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Terri. I'll definitely post pictures when I have something to show
DeleteI love knitting although I don't do much of it now. I've never knitted socks though.
ReplyDeleteI haven't knitted socks before either but one of my fellow Knit & Natter friends makes them all the time so I know where to go if (when) I get stuck.
DeleteThis is a great list of favorites. It sounds like you'll be very busy creating some lovely things!
ReplyDeleteI hope so Karen but I do tend to start knitting projects and then never finish them.
DeleteThe wool show and dinner out sounds fun. I'm glad your boiler (which sounds like our hot water heater?) will be fixed. This is not a good time to run out of hot water before finishing a shower!
ReplyDeleteOh my! Showers going cold don't sound very nice at all. Where I live the temps have been in the single digits. I have been thinking about taking up knitting again.
ReplyDeleteMy problem is that I like to try knitting patterns that aren't easy to do while watching the TV
DeleteI am commenting here on Sunday...I hope the plumber is there making noise right now. Warm shower! That is one of the three best blessings.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if there is a wool show near me soon. I am looking for an Aran sweater pattern for some grey wool someone gave me.
Enjoy more reading!
Thank you and yes the plumber came and the new boiler is working well.
DeleteOk, this may sound like a dumb question but is a boiler like a water heater, not a term used down under I have heard it on TV shows but never gave any thought to what it i s.
ReplyDeleteYes it heats our hot water for showers etc but also the water that goes through the radiators providing heat. Even though it doesn't actually "boil" the water.
