Amidst the Olympian Seriousness, Time for a Valentine’s Joke! February 14, 2006

He loved her very much. He wanted this Valentine’s day to be special, so he had ordered a bottle of her favorite liquor imported from France and it had arrived in time for the occasion.
On his way home, he stopped at the local florist. He had planned to have a bouquet made with her favorite flower, white anemones. But to his dismay, he found that the florist had sold all her flowers and had only a few stems of feathery ferns left for decoration.
In a moment of inspiration, he had the answer. He asked the florist to make a bouquet using the flask of liquor instead of flowers and what she produced was magnificent well beyond his expectations. He added a card, and proceeded home.
When he arrived, his wife was beautiful in her most elegant gown, and it was apparent that she had spent much of the day preparing a romantic candlelight dinner for the two of them.
He presented her with his gift, and she opened the card to read, “Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder.” With a tear in her eye, she whispered to him lovingly, “Yes, and with fronds like these, who needs anemones.”

The eagle eyed amongst you will note that this is:
a) significantly smaller than the previous day’s efforts
b) a completely different pattern
c) a completely different colour
Yes, I know. Having a plan before starting would have been better. Not quite so much fun though, what with the house moving coming up at the weekend.
Still, nothing like a deadline to motivate, eh?

knitting today – tink back row 19, knit 2/3rds row 19, tink back half of row 19, knit half of row 19, tink back 1/4 row 19, finally, after much cussing, complete row 19. Hide knitting – safer for all concerned.
Bring on row 20, say I!
Just got to say, guys, that I’m having fun looking around all the other Team GB members’ sites, and it is great to get to know some new bloggers.
