Life post scarf
I have been knitting Christian a ribbed bamboo scarf for what seems like ages… And I know, the worst of the cold weather is now behind us…
Maybe I should attempt this as my next project. I said attempt, not succeed.

36
Today is my sister Sophie’s birthday (she’s turning 36!). The following list is a short collection of reasons why I love her and she is amazing:
- The night I was born (when she was 5), her first thought when she was told she had a little sister was ‘Yay, I’m so happy!’.
- She put up for years with me waking her up by shining a flashlight in her face at night asking her to play with me.
- She made me pee my pants at the age of 17 by making me laugh really hard.
- She let me sleep in her room for a week after I saw Silence of the Lambs and was too scared on my own.
- She pelted me with Basmati rice on my wedding day.
- She writes poetry and she introduced me to Arthur Rimbaud.
- She always cut my hair on demand, and it always looked good.
- She smells really nice.
- She is always put in charge of breaking bad news to me, and when she does she works in laughs and lightheartedness.
- She put up a picture of the New Zealand rugby team doing a warrior dance in the kitchen of our Paris apartment.
- She has green and orange cat’s eyes and the tiniest hands.
- She gave me my first nephew.
Happy birthday and kisses Sophie! I miss you!
