So we sat down with some Danish lager and I made sure that my knitting was subtitle friendly (a simple beanie for the Christmas shoeboxes) and prepared to be led astray, confused and misdirected through the bleak Danish landscape. Wonderful stuff!!
The Radio Times even has the pattern for this season's red sweater, and I'm sure that many fans will be casting on pdq! Awesome!
Meanwhile in daylight hours I'm battling against the billion billion leaves which fall in my garden every Autumn. I sweep them up then more fall off the trees. Today I emptied the leaf mulch bin and put the mulch on two freshly weeded flower beds so that
a) it helps the beds and
b) I have somewhere to put the next gazillion leaves!!
I need to buy some more garotta powder to speed up the composting process in the leaf bin. Garrota is ammonium sulphate and while I know that some gardeners just pee on their compost heaps (usually after a trip to the pub and a few pints of beer!) I would much rather buy the powder than be the talk of the village!!
I've not been blogging about football recently, largely because it's been so depressing. While Newcastle are flying high at 3rd position on 25 pts, Sunderland are languishing at 15th on 11 pts. D is dumbfounded by Newcastle's current success (despite losing 3-1 to Man City yesterday) but I'm disheartened by my team's poor form. We had a goal-less draw at home yesterday against Fulham. Sigh.
Still, at least the brilliant Sofie Gråbøl is back and the leaves have been re-arranged in the garden!
