We are officially 3/4 of the way through the month and thankfully the days are gradually lengthening. I don't like January and am always pleased when we have turned the page into February.
Talking of turning over pages, I've just finished reading this month's book club choice. Theo of Golden by Allen Levi. What a lovely book. Although there was one sad chapter towards the end. If only we could all be like Theo the world would be a better place. If you are looking for a heartwarming book to read this month, I suggest you give it a try.
My knitting group have a new project. We are making poppies to send to the charity Standing with Giants. They need about 37,000 to use in installations at the British Normandy Memorial later this year. I've only just found the pattern that I will be using, I have been working on four different ones!
I don’t know how many we will make, but every little bit helps!
In other crafting news, the scarf is finished and has been worn several times already.
We are off to a Music Quiz at the weekend which is being organised by my Zumba teacher. Historically we don't ever win any quizzes we take part in, maybe this will be the one which is our turning point. We have also been invited to a barbecue by one of the guys who plays badminton with my husband. Yes, you read that right. A barbecue. In England, in January. The weather forecast says it will be drizzle with a gentle breeze and a high of 7 Celcius. I am hoping that the plan is for him to cook the barbecue outside and then we will eat the food inside! I will report back next week. I will be dressing in layers, just in case!
What do you have planned this weekend?
