i saw my dream socks in a magazine, only to realise that the designer has no website. and there is no way i am buying a magazine for a couple of images in an ad. i have emblazoned the image of the socks in my mind, and now will be searching for a basic tow up pattern, in 1x1 ribbing. for me to play with. they are exquisite socks. already have perfect yarn, this beautiful soft grey-blue tencel merino blend, which i have 6 balls of. not enough for a jumper, too much for a hat, perfect for thigh high loose ribbed socks of heavenlyness.

for candy-day, my lovely lachlan got me 'compassionate knitting' - the sequal to 'mindful knitting' - the patterns are actually really beautiful, very readably written, and there are a lot a lot a lot of things i want to knit from there.
first, the socks.

taste of tea last night were so vibrant and shimmery and wonderful. i enjoyed. lachlan bailed, so it was just me and my New Best Friend henry, who i met through an add in a street press to make music with. admittedly, i think my skills are too limited to actually make any music with him. but he is great, and he is fun, and he is our new friend. and he loved taste of tea too.

uni makes me nervous. it's been awhile. but i'll be ok, i know i will. i am big and strong, and i can do this.

i am thinking of a strict tv diet. like, a tv detox for a month, partly inspired by the last episode of 'house' where hugh lorries character performed brain surgery. he's a diagostitian. not a neuro-surgeon. this is stupid and irritating. so i think. it's time to say goodbye to the commercial channels, and if i need to watch tv, it is abc/sbs only.

love my red socks. oh yes. must photograph them.

i hate the media. i hate them. (crazy family mess. no more talk of what. media are vultures, and evil and will rip apart anything, regardless of the truth, for a good story.) i'm keeping my faith in some sort of universal even-ness, and trying to avoid the sneers, as joking as they may be. people don't know what it's like until they have been there, and i don't wish what has happened to my family on my worst enemy.

therapy is going so well right now. so so so well. happyface.
