Well here it is, my last post for the year. Do I need to say something profound? Sorry, don't have it in me at the moment! It's so hot here today, a stinker if you will. Mother Nature is finishing the year with a bang, that's for sure. We have no energy much to do anything, it's a hot wind out there too. I looked at the Christmas decos before and thought nahh, they can stay up another day.
I bathed Molly and Lucky this morning, Molly is still a bit damp, laying flat out on the slate in the back room. At least she's cool, she was overheating earlier. It's going to be a tough summer for the old girl.
Must show you what his Lordship gave me for Christmas, and as suspected all the clues he gave me earlier were made up. I figured that. The only one that was correct was it started with the letter "S".

It turns this...
Into this...
And for non-knitters amongst us, is called a Swift...
Method in his madness, although he has been very patient in the past with his arms in the air holding the skeins of yarn as I wind them into balls, now he knows I can do it much more quickly, neatly and on my own. I have happily been winding all the skeins of yarn I own here, which pleases me no end.
Incidentally Mr. G also gave me that yarn, isn't it gorgeous? He picked the colour out himself too, he couldn't have picked better if he tried. I'll turn that little baby into a pair of socks for moi !
Now, in finishing up the year, however you are spending this last day of 2011, I hope you stay safe and that 2012 will be bigger, better and brighter than ever before. Thank you for your company this past year. Hope to hear from you again in 2012, I love reading comments, so I know I'm not just here talking to myself, which happens quite a bit if truth be known!
Happy New Year.
