More yarn cometh

[susandennis]

Twice now, I've let my guard down and ordered yarn. I have yarn. But I ordered more yarn. I'm hopeless. Both yarn orders - one from England and one from New Jersey - arrive today. On the up side, I do have room for them in my yarn boxes but still. Silly me.

At least yarn is something I do use... every single day.

Today is actually a day that might need a sweater. I was raining on my walk this morning. Not hard but steady. It was nice.

Yesterday, I did a couple of back stretches - one mid-morning and one mid-afternoon. It sure did make my back feel better. But, they need to be done on the floor and getting up from the floor is so treacherous. Probably it is more beneficial in the long run to practice getting up from the floor than even stretches done while I'm down there.

I really really really do wish I could swim again.

This morning I discovered that I could pony CBS All Access on the back of my Showtime subscription and save a couple of bucks. Nice. I need CBS All Access for The Good Fight. This time next month, all of the Good Fight episodes will have dropped and I can get it for a month. On the calendar. I do love saving a couple of bucks.

Nothing on the calendar for today - just the usual. Oh I do need to vacuum the terrace but the rest of the house is pretty darned tidy.

I have books to read and TV to watch and stuff to knit. Things are fine and dandy here in this little safe house.

Call the yard ordering an addiction, a need, a compulsion, an obsession, a frailty, or a weakness; however you categorize it t here are plenty of others far worse to have.

Your yarn is like books are for me. I have a lot. I don't need more. But I love them and I use them, so if I find them at yard sales or discount stores, I'll often pick them up anyway. And eventually, they will provide some entertainment...so I feel happy about it.

You can never have too much yarn. This is how I feel about coffee and books.

Do you get CBS All Access through them directly or through Amazon? I signed up for it through Amazon and the commercials irritate me.

[susandennis]

No. I gave up on signing up for stuff through amazon. The stuff I wanted cost the same and I like having closer control.

I always buy the more expensive no commercial version and just drop it when I'm done watching what I want. Usually it's only the one show The Good Fight. I end up getting it about 1 or 2 months a year.

Oohhh so pretty.

Not sure if you like history or if you can access it but a new program starts in UK on BBC next Tuesday called "A house through time". It's fabulous. In UK everything is documented, the premise is that a house is selected and the program reports all the people who ever lived there and what they can find in newspapers, wills etc.
Last time it included an alcoholic victorian coroner, a burglary where child was convicted and transported to Australia, a religious school and an IRA group. Really recommended.
Good programme to knit to.
