frayed at the edge

Consequences!

If you go on holiday and eat this

 

and this

 

when you come home, you might find yourself eating a lot of this!

 

Of course you can eat lovely healthy food like sushi

but perhaps you shouldn't eat these as well!

 

So - did I do any knitting ....... yes I did!!

 

One sock finished and I'm ready to start the heel on the second one

 

I like how the pattern has formed.  It's the first time I've used this sock wool (Superba Print) and I am pleased with how it has knitted up.

Progress has been slower on the shawl, as it requires a lot of concentration, but I have started the next section of the pattern

 

You can see it taking shape (with the help of a few pins!)

 

The white thread is my Lifeline - a wonderfully simple idea that could save a lot of tears!!

Did you miss me.......

...... because I missed you - especially when I discovered that the cafe in the local supermarket had a wi-fi zone....  But don't worry, this isn't going to be the equivalent of the friends who invite you round for the evening and bore the pants off you with  holiday photos!!  I am only going to show you two photos today - the first one I took and the last one that Malcolm took - all the others in between can wait!

 

This is one of the stalls in the Sunday market in the old town in Pollensa.  It's amazing the way the stallholder cuts wafer thin slices from the ham.

Malcolm took this photo of me when we were out for dinner on our last night ( it might have been hot through the day, but I needed my cardi on for sitting outside for dinner!)

Of course, the big question is .... did I do much knitting?  I'll tell you tomorrow .....

All my bags are packed ....

Oh dear, sorry about that - but I just couldn't resist it for today's title!  As you may have gathered by now, we are going on holiday tomorrow.  We are going away for the same two weeks as last year, to the same destination - Majorca, the same resort - Pollensa ..... and, we are even staying in the same villa!  We enjoyed ourselves so much last year, that when we saw that the villa was available again this year, we just couldn't resist it .....

 

The villa is in the countryside near the old town of Pollensa, where you can have a great time pottering round the narrow streets, with their eclectic mix of shops....

 

 

As well as Pollensa, just a few miles away is the newer Puerto Pollensa, which is more 'touristy' (but no clubs, no lager louts!)  And there are also stunning views ....

 

Some days the hardest decision is which coffee to have .....

 

Even on holiday that handsome man turns up in my photos!  These are just a few of last year's 'holiday snaps' - obviously this year I will be much more aware of 'photo opportunities' (if I can stir from my lounger, where I will be relaxing, reading books and listening to music!)  I hope you will come back in two weeks time to read of this year's adventures in Majorca!

Two more sleeps!

I may have mentioned once (or twice) (or several times) that we are going on holiday on Saturday.  So if you are looking for me over the next two weeks, you'll find me here ... 

  

..... I'll tell you more tomorrow!
