#FEBphotoaday

I came across the February photo-a-day challenge on Fat Mum Slim... it's just what I need! Today's assignment: your view today. Nice and easy!

The photo captures my computer (my view everyday), a pleasingly (or challengingly) full fruit bowl, and my Elizabeth Zimmermann "Knitting Without Tears" book. I have been attempting to knit a Seamless Hybrid sweater for Simon for about 4 months now, and cannot vouch for the "without tears" part. I don't have particularly extensive knitting experience but it is definitely the hardest thing I've tried so far, with a whole lot of frogging going on. Hopefully I will write a post all about it when I'm finished. If that ever happens!

Wow. This week's heat makes me want to be a frozen bubble. From National Geographic via inspire me now.

What is this? Lifestyle porn? Picnic porn? Whatever it is, I love it... I am unbearably, uncontrollably drawn to it, yet indulging the compulsion to look at it leaves me feeling empty. It feels superficial, vainglorious. Or am I just jealous that my life isn't soft-focused and sepia-tinged? (I think the answer is yes.)
