About taking my knitting to the courthouse...I knew I wouldn't be knitting in the actual courtroom, but imagined that there would be many, many hours spent waiting in a jurors' room for something to happen. Pre 9/11, knitting needles were allowed to enter the building. Not now.

I've only once been on a jury and enjoyed it thoroughly -- it wasn't life or death -- just insurance fraud by two fellers each of whom swore the other had been driving the wrecked car because "I was too drunk to drive."

I was only called for jury service once and as I had just given birth, was exempted. I have been watching your weather forecast with some anxiety. I hope you don't have power cuts. I assume the builders won't be there so it should be super quiet. Slightly colder temperatures forecast here for Wednesday but nothing like as low as yours.

I was thinking of treating myself to some very nice quality yarn and knitting something very simple that works because the yarn is so lovely. With knitting it's always scarves, with crochet, it's blankets. All very therapeutic. If only we had a little snow to go with it in London.

While the teacher was appreciative, her classmates thought her outdated choice very odd!<br />Your scarf is an intricate, beautiful work of art!<br />I wish you the best of luck with your snow storm (I am just watching TV reports of its onset now) and look forward to your account of it!<br />Karen xx<br />Karen @ Pas Grand-Chosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14735158798201053231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28203207265144759.post-90876577368816193792015-01-26T10:15:18.901-08:002015-01-26T10:15:18.901-08:00We just had the weather channel on television and ...We just had the weather channel on television and my husband said that it was cold here, why with 49 F on Tuesday and 51 on Wednesday …. Then they mentioned your weather – 28 F and blizzard on Tuesday and 32 F but sunny on Wednesday. So then, we decided our weather was not that cold after all! I remember well how cold it can be in your city. In November 2013 when we visited, the day we saw you, I think it was in the 30s or felt like it anyway. I bought that hat at the NY Public Library (where we went because it was warm…) but it has not been cold enough here for me to wear it, yet. The scarf you are knitting looks lovely and warm – the colors are very attractive. I’ll think about you on Wednesday when you take your pictures and wish I could come along.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28203207265144759.post-33853946213557612632015-01-26T09:28:15.388-08:002015-01-26T09:28:15.388-08:00Dear Frances, I hope you will be safe and ok durin...Dear Frances, I hope you will be safe and ok during that blizzard.
