Another wet day

It has been pouring rain all night and while it is just beautiful to have all this rain, it makes living conditions very sticky. Last night I gave up trying to cope with it and turned the air conditioner on, it made a more comfortable night. Our dams are slowly improving and it was stated on the news last night that they average 28% full, we now have eight months of water. If we had water tanks at the house they would well and truly be filled by now.

I watched TV last night as I was embroidering my tea cosy, it just reinforces why I don’t watch much television any more. There really was not much on after the 7.30 report and I ended up watching a crime show. It was really disturbing and rather scary. I am really glad that my daughter didn’t watch it as she would have had nightmares. I wonder what effect it has on people that watch it all the time? Do we begin to believe that criminal behaviour is the normal way to behave? Does it desensitize? When my other three children were growing up, their TV watching was limited, they had to nominate the TV shows that they wanted to watch and we usually watched them with them.

This is a photo of the beautiful teacosy that Mary send me from Texas. There is a tale attached to my one that I am going to send to Mary. I decided that I was going to knit one and I found a lovely pattern on the internet. I started it while watching the tennis. I got a little way along with it over a couple of days. Then one day I left it sitting on the longue, Molly took a liking to it and the next time I went to knit it was gone. She did a good job on it. I am now sewing one….it might be a bit late Mary.
