Vacation entertainment

When people asked me about my vacation, my response was always something like “it’s fantastic”. The next question would be where I had been. Actually, there is no sightseeing involved. I stayed with my sister’s family for 1.5 weeks. The adults worked and the kids went to school everyday as usual and I got a precious chance to relax. By “relax”, I mean no housework, food on request, sleep whenever I want, unlimited internet and smart kids to play with. 
Yup, I need to fight with my nephew several times for my own laptop. I cannot think of any vacation better than this.

I had a plan to keep blogging during my vacation. Obviously it didn’t work out that way. There are just so many things more interesting than blogging, for example, tracking down my nephew’s blog.
Office rat

Late afternoon, sun still shining, light wind snicking into the office, a cup of tea with flower flowing on it, a laptop playing Sarah Mclachlan’s old songs, a computer server running programs smoothly and no other urgent assignments……all these are just perfect for a nice afternoon break with a small craft project with the only material I’ve got in the office: A4 paper. The rat is the result!
Prague once more

It’s my third time in Prague and Natalie’s second time. I should just stop counting that from now on, I guess. 
Luckily, there is much more daylights during summer time, so I finally managed to catch some sunshine there this time, mostly from inside the building.

When holi came to my place the other day, she saw the bunch of doilies I put by the window and said she liked it. Immediately I promised her to make her one if she wanted. When I asked her for more specifications, she picked the blue shaded thread from the ones I showed her but gave me total freedom to choose the pattern.
Slow….but making progress

1 mm crocheting

It’s always delightful to use it to crochet some trivial pieces in the sun while listening to Q92 if there’s no more important/urgent things to do. My favorite crochet hook was always the smallest one I had, a 1-mm shining one which I got in a dollar store in Montreal. The type of threads doesn’t matter so much, but the sunshine is critical. 
Summer suddenly showed up here right after the bad wet winter reluctantly left. Hopefully the sunshine is able to keep me away from blog hibernation.
