Temptation
Well, DH and I have chosen the fabric which he's going to order for my Christmas present.
The blue is much less visible to the naked eye than the camera makes it appear. I think it will make a lovely classic jacket, once I dare take scissors to it!
Second choice was this textured black:
Two more that we liked, but didn't think were appropriate at this stage:
Along those lines, I bumped into some georgeous linen, designed on a hand loom and woven in Europe as I was mooching around looking for shirting fabric.
The Linen Shop is definitely worth a look if you're into quality fabric and/or furnishings.
Hotel stuff
Still no progress on the flood cleanup. We can't start without a quote, and our tradesmen are taking their time.
Mutter, Grump!
Other than that, I'm waiting up for a guest.
His first question on booking was "Do you have 24 hour reception?"
Well, not exactly. When there's only two of you, you need to sleep at some stage. Still, if I know when someone will be arriving, I don't mind waiting up - Mahler 1 on Radio 3 is good company for my sock knitting.

Well, I'm glad you have an excuse to get some knitting done. What a season you've had. Things can only look up, eh?
Beautiful fabric. The weave reminds me of some traditional Welsh weave. Is it?
Lovely fabric -- I like the pink-white-black combo best (if I were choosing something for myself).
