It was like all the seasons in an hour. Yesterday was raining, today is meant to be sunny but chilly.
I think I did that thing... where I pack for going across the street. I have clothes that would have been fine in Toronto in September, but here I am in England in October. Ha, I just have to finish my sweater!
I do want it done by Friday, that is, two days from now. On Friday I will become engrossed in the Stephen West mystery knitalong, so my big old sweater will get tossed aside. I will endeavour to get it done, though, because I do think I will need it! Another 6 inches on the body, perhaps, and then find some buttons!
I have discovered a thing here in Cambridge: Dinky Doors. I did see one when I was here in May, but I didn't investigate at all. Now I find that the Emailerator, companion to the spiky post box, is one of several mini art pieces around town.
and a teleport-o-matic machine.
There are more out there, and I will find them all!
The one on Downing Street is right near the Zoology Museum, and I went there yesterday to see the critters and have lunch with a friend.
There is a whale skeleton:
It's very large and hard to photograph!
Whales have hands.
Along with the whale, we saw many other things. We'd gone to this museum with the kids a million years ago, but in the intervening years things have been renovated and updated. There are still skeletons and taxidermy and things in jars, of course.
Bees and their relatives:
A hippo's foot:
A pheasant, showing off his lovely feathers!
And some wonderful seashells:
And now, I must get back to my knitting.
