Too Many Projects, Not Enough Time
As my life was taken over by the marathon training, I parked most things on the back burner of my brain. Even a trip to Tenerife. So I found myself sewing a last minute bikini (which I had been planning almost for as long as this trip was planned). Now I wish I could say…
I had a couple of ideas for the Christmas Day post, neither seemed very suitable as I sat down to write: one about my Hobonichi, the other how much I don’t like Xmas and the festivities, or how I find preposterous people getting angry at hearing Happy Holidays (Christmas spirit much?).
