Books, tennis, knitting and new hats

I have just finished reading The New Watch which is the latest book in the series by Sergei Lukyanenko. It was brilliant as are all the others. It only took me one night of insomnia and a day to read!

Watched the French Open Tennis final on Sunday but unfortunately like a lot of other viewers was watching on ITV 1 and had it on pause for 10 minutes so didn't realise the last game was only shown on ITV 4 so missed it!! I can't understand why they would change channels at that point of the match at least wait until the set was completed but luckily managed to switch over to see the presentations.

With all the tennis that's on at the moment, Queen's and then Wimbledon I can knit all day :) love tennis and knitting so a great few weeks for me!

Making Jam Today, Knitting later.

My daughter and I decided to make rhubarb jam today with the last of the rhubarb from a neighbour's garden (they don't like it!). We have just finished peeling 750g of rhubarb added the sugar,lemon juice and ginger now it has to soak for 3 hours then only 7 to 10 mins cooking time.  How easy is that. 

The recipe is here if anyone would like to try it:

Bright Knits

Had a busy week knitting infinity scarves, hats and headbands. Also managed to finish my latest book, I remember when I read at least 3 books a week, now I hope to finish one. I did try once to use a book stand but as I read as fast as I knit I spent more time turning pages, the same with my E-reader - I still prefer 'real' books.  This was a new author for me but I thoroughly enjoyed it and will buy the rest in the series.  It's nice finding new authors that are good, unfortunately not all of them are!
