Emma, in her thirties. A wife gal. Wears dead people's clothes, reads books, and, most importantly, knits while watching TV. The regiment of mallows.

Spooky knits week for #ShowMeYourKnits ! The pattern is Arachne by Andi Satterlund. It is not available anymore so I'm very glad I bought it when I had the chance. Very spooky-month-y but I love spiders and wear it all year round!

we are sweat-pilled (which is a horrible thing to say but there you go) and now that we have watched the 2 (at least) gay episodes, and an episode where a cyclist fucking falls over and dies, we are going to watch the whole thing. Incredible.

Finally did my duty as a vintage-loving knitter and watched Home Fires! One of the most unfairly cancelled shows of all time.

The Paris Express by Emma Donoghue has like, killed me, in the best possible way. I love this author so much. If she came to Finland to sign books, I'd be the first in line.

I don't want to hear about your lost loves, tell me about the restaurant food that haunts you because you'll never be able to taste it again

When you leave the house you need to tell my MIL's dog where you're going or he'll get worried and start howling. However he only understands two locations - "I'm going to work" and "I'm going to the shops." Which is a metaphor for life, really. Certainly feels like you're always at one or the other

We're at my mum's, taking care of her dog while she's travelling. This mainly means that I watch her Netflix while Louisa's at work.

Surprise was on our side at last night’s sold-out screening of MASTER AND COMMANDER: THE FAR SIDE OF THE WORLD at the Prince Charles Cinema in London when five actors from the film came on stage to say a few words! Many thanks to Alex Palmer, Jack Randall, Lee Ingleby, Max Pirkis, and Max Benitz.
