More Spinning

There has been another improvement in the computer system at work for our pleasure, convenience, satisfaction, and productivity. Blogspot is blocked. I can get to Blogger and load the Dashboard. But not the blogs themselves – nope, no way. This goes right along with the new improved file encryptions – stopping all use of outside thumb drives since the system encrypts anything it which gets hooked up.

I can still read email for now, but can’t cruise many blogs much less get to Flickr or upload anything unless I bring it in on a CD. Going back in time and technology I guess.

On the renovation front – tomorrow the shower door installer will be coming to fix up the shower. Also the repair man for the fridge since we have a door that is no longer shutting.

Spinning

I have these lovely rovings that I purchased over a year ago from Winderwood Farms. I have decided that I will spin the two wheels I have of the first one before going on to the rest.

The fine singles look rather nice if I do say so myself.

Books & Audio Books

Marcia Muller’s most recent Sharon McCone mystery is The Ever-Running Man. Although not always easy to follow, I really enjoyed it. With roots to motives and characters going back to the Viet Nam era

For those of you who do not like readers who do voices – you might want to consider Lawrence Block’s latest book in his Keller ‘Hit” series. He does his own readings. I enjoy the stories, but his gravely voice is a bit too close to a monotone for my taste. Others just love his readings.

About Holly

fiber person - knitter, spinner, weaver who spent 33 years being a military officer to fund the above. And home. And family. Sewing and quilting projects are also in the stash. After living again in Heidelberg after retiring (finally) from the U.S. Army May 2011, we moved to the US ~ Dec 2015. Something about being over 65 and access to health care. It also might have had to do with finding a buyer for our house. Allegedly this will provide me a home base in the same country as our four adult children, all of whom I adore, so that I can drive them totally insane. Considerations of time to knit down the stash…(right, and if you believe that…) and spin and .... There is now actually enough time to do a bit of consulting, editing. Even more amazing - we have only one household again. As long as everyone understands that I still, 40 years into our marriage, don't do kitchens or bathrooms. For that matter, not being a golden retriever, I don't do slippers or newspapers either. I don’t miss either the military or full-time clinical practice. Limiting my public health/travel med/consulting and lecturing to “when I feel like it” has let me happily spend my pension cruising, stash enhancing (oops), arguing with the DH about where we are going to travel next and book buying. Life is good!
