le weekend

This weekend has been a comfortable mix of work and domesticity. I have my 6 month progress review for my MA in 6 weeks time and have to have a draft chapter, a progress report and a presentation.  So I have been chugging along with the chapter and have reached the minimum word limit with plenty more to say and that feels really good.

Intercut with reading, making notes and actual academic writing has been some steady progress on knitting my Citron shawl/scarf (pattern here)

 and making the first pesto of the season. 

Kind Dog is power-writing along with his novel and all is benign in the Kind Dog/seahorse household.

*Thank you to recent commenters for your kind words - very cheering :)
