Rest Day x 2

It's a rest day in the Tour de France today. Which is why I'll be picking up the lace again, you see I've already taken my rest days - yesterday and the day before. I got struck down again on Sunday with soreheaditis - really bad this time so there wasn't even the thought of knitting. I will not fall again - I'm too old for this anyway. So, next weekend I look forward to uninterrupted knitting. Yesterday I, well, I got distracted and I may have knit on something else but we'll forget about that 'cos if I've no pics it didn't really happen, right?

I'm glad I joined the tdfkal. I would have long ago ( like right after I finished swatching) given up on this wrap were it not for the knowledge that I should persevere and try to conquer the mountains. I really wish I could knit 32 rows ( a repeat) of this wrap a day but it's so time consuming and I need to pay such attention I'm finding the going particularly tough. I'm currently on row 6 of the 3rd repeat. Did I mention that there's at least 16 repeats. Oh, I cracked and bought another ball of the yarn, so now I don't even have the whole knit faster because I may run out of yarn thing going for me.

You're probably wondering what the pic above is all about. It's my first ever tennis prize (we were at a tennis tournament on Sat night right before the party that gave me the soreheaditis). Now, I know it looks like a wooden spoon, it is in fact a wooden spoon but I didn't get it for coming last (thankfully) that honour went to someone else. So, I won this spoon but I won it by getting drawn out of hat, they had many small prizes for participants, I'm not quite sure if someone miscalculated how many wooden spoons they were going to offer that night but anyhow I was glad to get it - for what was attached to it. I'd seen this chocolate bar many times here but have never gotten round to trying one. I was a tad disappointed, it is exactly what it says on the tin, chocolate and peanuts, but it lacked the caramel of a Snickers bar and I think it would have been better for it. Anyway the wooden spoon is coming in handy!
