- Diets, for instance. Cindy has suggested for about the umpteenth time that we go back to the first week of Atkin's low carb induction. I hated those weeks. Few vegetables, little fruit. The rest was a piece of cake..well.. not cake. Maybe a dish of olives. We did it the first time together. It helped. Misery loves company and we could share recipes. I'm thinking about it. Or, maybe we could start at week three?
- Leslie and I commiserated on out inability to throw things away. Collectors, we call ourselves. What we need to do is to phone the junk man. By the end of last weekend, we had agreed to email pictures of our spaces (filled spaces, lack of spaces) to each other and progress shots. Who knows.. it is worth a try.
- Carole mentioned that she was going to allot 10 minutes per day to spinning. Ha! There's one I can join happily. Sounds like it could help with #2. Thanks, Carole.
It's been a catch up week. Catch up with office work, house work, and laundry. The plants (Podo) were moved outside for the summer.
A bit of knitting in the evenings and my 10 minutes or more with my spindles. A stitch at a time. Tonight, I'll finish the last sleeve of the Tulip sweater and put that away. The Japanese Vines scarf grows slowly.
As I write this, it's after 4pm on a gorgeous sunny day. If I pour myself a glass of (no carb) ice tea, take it and my spindle outdoors for 10 minutes or more, I think I can hit a bit of all of the above. Sounds good to me.

Your Tulip sweater is so pretty . I just love your colour combinations .
It’s all about balance, isn’t it? I just started a diet (three days in) and I feel really good. Well, now that the caffeine withdrawal headaches have ceased! I don’t even miss sugar. Yet. Good luck, if you decide to start yours! Eat some cheese for me!
Well. You’ll notice that my suggestion has nothing to do with dieting or exercising. Ahem.
You sure know how to multi-task 😉
…love that new header!
That’s some Podocarpus. And you’ll be happy to know the red bromeliad is clearing getting ready to flower.
I’d join you in spinning 10 minutes a day, but then I wouldn’t have 10 minutes a day for knitting. I want to be monogamous enough this summer to have something to wear to Rhinebeck.
Week 3 is better than nothing!!!
If you haven’t already, might I suggest a read of Michael Pollan’s “The Eater’s Manifesto” before committing to a diet. Quite eye-opening about nutrition science, or the lack thereof.
