pour s'il pleut

I couldn't resist buying these wellingtons yesterday (dalmations!!!).
It was a necessary expense (ignoring the fact that I already have some wellies) as I'm going to Latitude in a couple of weeks and must be prepared. Although I'm pretty sure that I can't be unlucky enough to have ANOTHER rainy festival. We'll see...

Knitting update: Yumi & I visited a rose garden last night and got a bit carried away with the stitching so I've now almost completed the left front of my cardigan. Very productive.
Yumi was crotcheting flowers again (she's an addict!) and has inspired me to get hold of this book. So many flowers.

Talking of addiction, I placed my first ever bet in the bookies at the weekend. I lost, but I think I could really get into it now...£1 on Alonso to win the World Championship please!
