Too hot to knit, too hot to type, too hot to do anything really.
The slumber party has come and gone. They all had a great time, with no arguments. I could have done without them waking up at 6.30 this morning, especially as they eventually went to sleep about 12.30 last night, but hey ho, what can you do?
So I'm not only too hot to do much, but I'm also too tired to make much sense.
Luckily, I have goodies to show you, in the form of my first SP5 package. It arrived on Saturday, all the way from Canada.
Two tins of deliciously scented tea, two skeins of hand dyed merino wool and a beautiful card. All the goods were sourced from local producers close to my Secret Pal's home, which I thought was a really nice touch. Thank you so much Secret Pal - I love it all. I will be sending you a separate email too. If you don't get it, please leave me a comment and let me know. The only reason I mention this is that during SP4 Caroline and I had problems with our emails reaching each other, which was a shame, so I wouldn't want it to happen again.
And because I know you all want it, here's a close up of the beautiful merino wool.
Now I really am too hot to carry on. Toby has just moved my knitting off the coffee table as he says looking at it is making him hot. I'm off for a cool bath and then hopefully some sleep. Is it wrong to wish for a storm?
We've been coveting storms and flash floods too! Really sticky here at the moment. We have the windows and the balcony door open but we had squirrel visitors the other morning (running around the flat, yuck!), so we have to close the door at night. Isn't it lovely that your sp5 has taken the trouble to send you local stuff? And that wool is gorgeous - any ideas? (Or is it too hot to think of wool!)

Lovely package you have there. Hope the bath makes you cooler, it made my red bits caught by the sun feel like fire!

Beautiful goodies! Canadians rock. don't wish for a storm, chica, it might come back to haunt you, take it from one who knows from storms... btw, it's over 100 degrees farenheit here with the humidity added to the temp. just thought you could use some wilted solidarity.
no hugs, it's too hot, mwah!

Polly knows me too well... I so was going to email you to tell you that it had my name on it. When you do find out who the lovely secret pal is, let me know. I need some of that. Please bring it along on Thursday so I can have a good stroke... I remember sleeping on my balcony when I was a child. Last night, I was thinking of doing it again!

'Lo, it's me. I'm glad everyone likes your yarn, I hope you get some good use out of it. I love how soft it is.
I've checked my e-mail and haven't received a note from you yet. I'm going to try to send you a note and perhaps replying will be the way to go? It's worth a shot anyway.

What a great package! You have a great SP.
I love the heat! I moved to North Carolina from Buffalo New York and I will take a heat index over a wind chill factor any day!!
