Good Sunday Morning!

I love Sunday mornings. Firstly, there is the Sunday Morning Sleep-in. Then, there is Sunday Morning Breakfast which is me working on some big, home-made breakfast for the whole family to share.

Later today, I'm going to meet Risa, one of our International exchange student friends, to help her work on her knitting. I think it's a beautiful, and amusing, thing that I can help teach someone else to knit. I not a very experienced knitter myself. I love the act of knitting, working on the patterns in the yarn, and the zen of the activity, but I'm not a big fan of knitting anything other than straight lines. Making socks, sweaters and hats take more concentration than I want to devote at this time. Knitting is something I do with my hands while I concentrate on something else. If I have to think about the knitting, then that defeats the purpose of the knitting because it is nothing more than a zen activity for my hands while my mind is otherwise engaged. At least, that's the case in the moment.

Still, if I can share the basics of knitting with others, I am honoured to do so. I love the times that lurkitty and I sit together knitting with a pot of tea between us discussing politics, the environment and the best marinades for tofu. It's time well spent.

Oh Yay!

I've solved my LJ rich text mode problem. Apparently, it doesn't like my Mozilla browser. I shut down Mozilla completely, then loaded IE, logged in, changed back to plain text, then I closed that and logged back into Mozilla. It worked! *happy dance*

Thanks to those who tried to help. You made me think outside the box. Woot! I have LJ back!
