Another week
I think our state's daily newspaper has given up on grammar and the apostrophe. Unless fury is a verb ...
:: Meanwhile, at our quality suburban weekly, I have just one more issue to go until Sir comes back. If he comes back, that is: he's doing a whole lot of nothing on Santorini at the moment ... what bliss.
:: I'm knitting a lacy scarf.
This is in gorgeous wool that was spun and dyed by Suse, who is the absolute bee's knees when it comes to lace-knitting.
I'd thought about knitting a shawl, but I am very much a scarf sort of a girl, and I can't wait to finish this one. Perth has been so extremely cold this winter (3 degrees forecast for tonight).
More photographs of the scarf when it's done and blocked.
:: We have a big happy lunch scheduled for Sunday: Lily has graduated and we're celebrating!

The trouble with working at a newspaper (or having worked at one in one's dim history) is that these things jump out. They're impossible to ignore, and non-newspaper people don't see why you're so overwrought about it. You have my sympathy!

I think anyone with a basic understanding of grammar winces at the apostrophe abuses that abound in the blogosphere, advertising and newspapers.

Loving the scarf!

Gosh Suse has done a beautiful job on that yarn, and you are doing a beautiful job of knitting it.
