Silence

How amazing. Not only crashing home computer but also research computer. Now Im down to the last. Hubby saved the harddisk on my home computer. Backup... well, have you heard about the shoemakers children ?? Well, I was about to, I should know better. What could not be saved is the downloaded mail. All mail. 1000nds of mail - and the favourites - link lists. But the net remains. You are out there. And Im quite happy this exists. I just was a setback. Then the cold hit me. HARD! And I know I shouldn't work, but mouldy hotelrooms with no ventilation in this humid summer and no sleep (Sweden hotels does NOT have aircondition)... did make my cold have a second coming. Knitting some more squares. But - I got a request to knit 6 wolly winter hats to my bold boss - who has put up a wooden jacuzzi outside. And he wants to use it in the winter. Well, they could be fun and different- Free hands. But I guess a secret requirement is warm and soft. That is a creative task! Also, I have been such a ego knitter. Only sweaters to me. It is time to think about my near and dear. Anyhow - GREAT to get comments. And I noticed: More are struggling with decision. I think I will drop my little dominoknitted top. I have tried it on. It is loose, and I probably have not enough yarn to put the last pices together. And that Wildapple Bohus is acing in the needles. Or finish some UFO. Anyhow, the mailman (or someone) did not steal the Vouge knitting for the first time (!) so I got the 25 year anniversary knitting mag to just cherish. Absolutely fabolous. And- they said silver and grey. I have a great "almost done" knitted grey winter sweater. Is it that one? Or should I go for GREY MIST (also a Bohus knitted item I have really wanted to knit!).... Or six crazy jacuzzi hats.. Well, in a week Im off to China again. This time it is Shanghai, but at least 1 day and night in Beijing. After that Im going to sleep at the Windsor Castle grounds .... on the Old Queens conference place. This will be a time to have a good knit. So - now Im really thinking what I shall bring to the long flight. Bohus needles are not flight friendly. And thin needles I must have metal.
Well, Im hoping for a good weekend for me and you. I will get camera up - but this is just to make sure you come back. New camera is planned as well. Im thinking of you - knitters around the world. If I listen carefully I can hear the clickety click. No, that was the computer......Decisions decisions - the typical Libra. Should I knit this or that.....hmmm...

Hope you are feeling better. Those summer colds are the worst!

Oh, don't take those bohus needles on the plane. I can just see it now...taking your sweater from you at the checkin. Not good.

Jacuzzi hats in Sweden--I love it. You've got to make at least one with a Jolly Roger. Get well and have a safe trip!

(Dålig på att formulera mig på engelska.)

Jag vet en som doktorerade och inte hade en enda backup. Och vars arbete försvann i datorn ...







Några veckor efter han hade disputerat. *lättnad!* Speciellt för h*n som tröck på fel knapp som gjorde att det försvann.
