Heart still beating…

Just, you know, in case you wondered, “I Aten’t Dead”, merely occupied with all of the chaos:

  • One business contract ended, so there’s all the wrapup
  • Looking for a new contract
  • STILL with the remodel – no, there’s no major update, really, except that … it’s going.
  • I find that I really hate Branching Out, so I haven’t knit a stitch in weeks!
  • Photo Uploading is on hold until the art closet gets storage (everything’s boxed)

So, in essence, everything’s up in the air right now.

On the brighter side, though, there’s an end in sight for all of these things, and we’re thinking of places to go when we’re done with all of this … or, rather, when we feel like going, ’cause there are so many things lined up that we’ll never be “done,” if we’re honest about it.

The first place we’re thinking is to do a bicycle tour of Scotland. Nothing too terribly strenuous, but … well, something quite active, too, ’cause some of those tours involve all of about 20 miles between towns, and that’s got to be maybe two hour’s ride if there are hills involved. So, something strenuous. Virtuous. Yet still something which will allow us to see the beauty of Scotland and of Cathedrals / Castles & things.

After that, we’re saying that we’re going to Argentina. I went to school there when I was 13 years old, and feel that I deserve to recoup my lost Summer (I spent what should have been Summer Vacation in Argentina … for their Winter!). It should be different, if nothing else, but also gives me an excuse to try to jump on the bandwagon and learn Welsh: there are quite a few Welsh speakers in Patagonia, apparently.

So, those are the dreams, which are blossoming amongst all of the chaos.

  1. What a shame that life gets in the way of craft, but I can certainly sympathize. Have a lovely jumper just waiting to be finished, but alas, no mojo in my knitting.

    Scotland will be gorgeous. And yes, count on hills. And Welsh speakers in Patagonia? Well that’s a new one on me….

  2. HOpe my mum likes Branching out a little better – I bought her some Rosewood Needles (when I wanted some for self, so am feeling saontly), some yarn and downloaded that pattern. Well, time will tell…

  3. ohhh, i loved scotland…i picked up some nice yarn when i went to oban, hmmm don’t know if they’re still there…it was way back in ’97…i know you’ll enjoy scotland

  4. Ooh, Patagonia! And Scotland! I’m jealous of both!

    You know who to contact if you’re jumping on the Welsh bandwagon. I even have some Patagonia information.

  5. Yep – Welsh Speakers in Patagonia. Quite a few, apparently. I doubt we’ll learn Welsh for it, though, really … although it would be nice to be able to speak, if only to have a language that nobody else speaks.
