I liked getting near the end because you are decreasing at both ends so each row is getting shorter and therefore quicker to knit.
Somehow I am still alive in Sock Wars. Mel declared herself 'dead' yesterday so hopefully I will get her victim's partly made socks to finish in a couple of days. Unless I'm 'killed' first, but I have had no word from my 'assassin' at all. Perhaps they are in stealth mode.
On the TV front, I watched Sunday's Top Gear last night. I can't believe that they managed to sail the English Channel in a pickup truck!! Surely not! Very funny though.
Since I have managed to pick up the needles again recently, my reading has started to suffer. I have started Memnoch the Devil, which is no. 5 of Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles. I did pop into the second hand bookshop on Saturday and got Priestess of the White by Trudi Canavan, and Night Rise by Anthony Horowitz for the grand total of £7, and the Canavan was a hardback. I enjoyed the Black Magician trilogy so I hope I'll like this one too. I'm not usually a big fantasy fiction fan but there you go.
Yay for Russell Brand having Noel Fielding as co-host on his Radio 2 show last week. If you are quick you can listen again or download the podcast here. The show was very funny, but I don't know how he gets away with some of the stuff he talks about, what with it being the BBC n'all. There was a bonkers chap on who wants Russell to stand for mayor of London. You can sign the petition here. Noel & Russell did say that they will be defending their title on The Big Fat Quiz of the Year, which I'm guessing will be on around Christmas/New Year. Not long now then, where is this year going?

Lovely Clapotis indeed :-)
Top Gear was hilarious on Sunda, especially the three-men-in-a-boat (car) thing :-D
I think Russell should definitely be major of London. That would liven things up. 'citin' indeed.
ooooh I think your Sockwars may be coming to an end. I know someone who finished your socks today :0)
Wow, you're in regular production again. Congrats on still being alive--oops, a mysterious message has come through!
Your Clapotis is beautiful. I think the colour pooling makes it quite unique. :)
I never mind pooling on things. That's a lovely Clapper :)
Bet you like the Hamster's new longer hair, hmmm?
Oh, that was so funny with Russell and Noel. And Rainbow George is excellent: any friend of Peter Cooke's is a friend of mine, lol.
It's lovely. No probs at all with the colour pooling that I can see! How are you liking the moomin books?
