As I mentioned on Tuesday, the evenings are getting cooler. So if Furby is not in my lap, it’s not unusual to see Rupert there, taking on supervision duties and soaking up the body heat.

With his help, I’ve been making good progress on the new socks. Another simple shortie pair, using the leftovers from the broken seed stitch socks (I can’t get into the studio closet to pick out anything new even if I wanted to). The lovely grey hand dyed for the leg/foot, black for heels and toes! Such a pretty stormy palette!

And speaking of stormy… On Saturday we celebrated Samantha’s youngest’s 19th birthday at her trailer. On the way back, Dave and I drove through some pretty wild storms. Heavy rain, thunder, lightning, the works! It was just settling down when we stopped in south London for gas.

And there we were treated to the most AMAZING double rainbow thanks to the setting sun and retreating storm. I’ve never seen one so bright or so big. It was so big, I couldn’t get it in one shot. I had to piece it together from these three pics

And they really don’t show just how magnificent it was! Science truly is magical!
