Ray of sun so gold ...

In the next following weeks His Hubbiness™ is on summer break and it seems all his carefully laid plans go down the drain. Washed away in the rain that is pouring continuously down :)
Poor Hubby, no nice trips to the Rhine or sitting in the green grass. On the other hand now I have him sitting miserably and whiny in the living room and insteead of two little terrors I have three. *sigh* How will I be able to survive these six weeks?

Hopefully the rain will let up during the afternoon as His Hubbiness™ wanted to go for a long walk with our dogs.
I wanted to sew a bit now that the weather has changed and that it is way colder. This way I can sew and pattern two dresses and one top with His Hubbiness™ and the two dogs out of the way. My sewing machine is still out of order so I will heft all pieces together and then start by hand. Good thing is the two dresses will be historical so I have to sew them by hand anyway but I thought my top would be quicker as it is for every day wear. Oh well I will manage.

Looks around the apartment ... I still need to clean up some corners of the living room before elfnut and her elflings arrive. D-Day was the 24th IIRC. Or today? Naw, I don't think so ... I hope :) Still have so much to do ... but I'm glad that my flat is getting into some resemblance of order and cleanliness again. From January to May I couldn't work too long and I had cut too many corners while cleaning :) And with two dogs - one of them loosing hair by the dozen - I could have knitted a sweater from all the hairs I retrieved :)

I hope the weather improves for you!!! We had a week of POURING rain the week before current and some flooding. Some roads were closed in Wakefiled and Leeds. Even a small amount of water came into the cellar (about a bucket in one corner) which I don't remember happening before.

Thank you ... we had some minor floodings in our area as well. We have still a lot of meadows at our part of the Rhine, even our inner city has huge meadows so when there are floods we mostly keep dry feet while the meadows and willow forests are under water.

ah sewing by hand is really long ^^ i've never tried to sew with a machine though ^^ anyway i'm sure it's going to be cool, i hope you'll post some pics so we can see your hard work ^^

i was thinking the same about the hair from my cat. since it's getting really hot out there she lost a lot of her hair ! but a friend told me that it was worse with the rabbits ^^ if we knew how to collect the hair and knit them it could be fun :p

take care !

I will do that as soon as my dresses are finished :)

Cenour always looses a lot of hair when his fur changes. He always looks like a real Podengo when he has his summer fur, he looks like a rag then :) But during the winter time he has long, silky hair with a longish mane.

Oh, rainy weather day by day is so depressing thing... Wish for you it will be better soon!

As for anumals' hair in every corner of the flat, oh, I have the same problem with my younger cat, Assya !

She is Turkish angora, with long white hair - and she used to loose it strongly, especially when the weather is hot. Because of it I already abandoned any carpets in my room - with a carpet on floor and Assya on it you have to run the vacuum cleaner 5 times a day to keep the carpet more or less clean.

Oh dear. I have not very fond memories of "Ferien" - during my Au Pair time, end of term or half term was hell for me because the kids were home ALL day... I hope it won't be too stressful with "your" three kids. *huggles*
