WOYWW 862 Shelter under the ever-growing blanket

Hi all, I’m back for our bloghop care of Sarah’s Craftshed Firstly, sending healing hugs to Neet. 

It’s been a rather eventful week for us. Here’s my desk, where we’ve started winter cornucopia paintings with collage. 

We have to collage bits onto the drawing of this and paint the other part so it looks the same. 

Here are our collected squirrels. 

They all have such different characters!

My chevron blanket feels never-ending as it seems to get even longer as I’m trying to match all the strips to the same length, under Bella’s supervision, of course. She sends you all purrs. 

Still, working under a blanket has been useful this week, as our hot water and central heating boiler died on Saturday morning. It was fixed on Monday (broken circuit board) and broke again Tuesday morning. The engineer has just been here again and this time it was a lead disconnected. 

One highlight of the week was having dinner at our excellent local Sicilian restaurant with our friend Pascal and his Ukrainian girlfriend, Svitlana. They went to London on Sunday for a short break. 

Svitlana had baked us beautiful Ukrainian biscuits, and brought us Ukrainian chocolates. . 

We had a lovely time and the food at Let’s Amore was excellent, especially their caponata and cannolis.😋. Svitlana and I have said we’ll go on a literary trip together to Paris at some point, visiting where Hemingway et al wrote, drank etc. It will of course feature my favourite Shakespeare and company bookshop, where Sylvia Beech supported Joyce, Hemingway, Fitzgerald et al. 

And finally…

I’ll be round after art class so put the kettle on 😸. 

Hugs
