Wodens day

I am very nearly finished my quilt. This is a big deal, this quilt has been going a good long time now, and last night during Jeeves and Wooster viewing I finished all the top quilting. I did it all by hand. I am quite fast at it now. So, last night I started the binding. I have a wee way to go yet, but it's much closer to being finished than it was a month ago.

I watched Paperhouse on Monday night. It is spooky and scary. Exactly like being in someone else's nightmare. Lee came home part way through and asked if I was enjoying it and I had to say "I don't know." I'd recommend it to people who like spooky* movies, as it's very well done and it has a very interesting premise. I got a lot of hand quilting done during that movie because it was nicely distancing.

I finished Fish Feet yesterday and that's a fantastic book. I'm hoping there's a sequel because I want to know more! I managed to personify the lead character in my head as my friend Jonathan, so it was a bit like spending time with him to read this book. 'Cept he doesn't of ballet of course.

This morning I finished The grooming of Alice so I have two more published ones to go and then that's it for a bit. I am tempted to read a whole bunch of poetry and maybe write some, but I'll probably just read something else that's aimed at kids or teenagers.

I have a cold. It kept me up in the night, then it gave me strange dreams that I cannot remember now.

*Spooky looks weird if you spell it soppky.
