We attended my husband's Grandma's funeral yesterday, it wasn't sudden really, she was blind and not really with us anymore. A stroke took her took her in the end. She was a lovely lady, when I first met my husband Christmas' were always at her house. Seems when her health began to fail the family seemed to fragment as well. It was a lovely service and the day went well all in all.
This morning Marty went back to his breeder to find a happier life, so more tears were shed when the Jet Pets man arrived, but Marty took to him straight away so was happy to go. He got to stay inside with us last night after his bath, he was a different dog, so happy to have all our attention and not share it with anybody else. Made it harder to let go, but concreted in our minds, that he really needs a home with people around all the time that he doesn't have to share with any other dogs.
On a happier note, got to Spotlight on Monday , 20% off the already on sale yarns. Picked up some Moda Vera Luxury (purple mist), a mohair blend for a shawl. Loved the drop stitch of my last scarf. So the shawl is being done the same and well under way. Would take a pic but light is dreary day and night at the moment , and dark shades just don't come up well.
I have had lots of lovely comments on my drop stitch scarf at work , which is really nice. Some ladies wanting to know how to knit it. Pity I was in such a straight state this morning, left one of the needles behind and we couldn't really find a substitute for a long 7.5mm needle to demo on my shawl. Have to get it right for tomorrow, as is my last week of this temp assignment.
Must get back onto the cable beanie as well.

Oh gosh, you've had a rough few days :-(
There's not much to say except that I'm thinking of you all - take care :)
Thanks so much Mandie. Marty has settled back in with his first Mum, so feeling a bit better on most fronts. Aim for happier posts from now on.
