| A Swift |
Well it arrived yesterday, Wool Warehouse had only sent it the day before. Who says England is rundown? The person at the warehouse was full of apology at the mistake. I just love it for its wood, I think mango wood, and also its intricacies.
Wool love by the way is obsessional. You can see from the small space used in the above photo, that a swift can be above the spinning wheel and once taken down like an umbrella can just be a horizontal stick anchored to the table. Everyone collapsed when I said I haven't got my niddy-noddy, this is of course for winding the wool off the bobbins you can see in the back there. I thought about the word then realized it came from how you hold the niddy- noddy by the vertical piece of wood and then turn the wool on the horizontal bars at both ends.
The house is quiet though I heard voices in the night, way after midnight, so there must be some of Lillie's friends in the house. The New Year was of course brought in on the letting off of fireworks but not too noisy this year and short lived. Fireworks like cigarettes are the quickest ways to burn money. Or perhaps the crossness at how the fireworks frighten domestic animals is being recognised.
I will print the letter because obviously it appeared in a newspaper somewhere for public approval, But as you can see calling people as low as cockroaches is an affront to the cockroach. Did you know for instance that there are 5000 species of them fulfilling their place in this great wide world we dominate. And cockroaches definitely don't swindle the public as so many of our fat cats do.
This is the year to defend the insects of the world as they are dying out at a terrible rate.
