Eternal Refuge

This set of icons was made for fandom10in30  and I chose to use Blake's 7 Season 2 images. However that's where my positive vibes fail! The theme is The Four Temperament Ensemble and as that means it's colour based I am unsure how well they actually fit into the tropes. Most of the time I can either ignore, or get round, the fact I am colour-blind ... but then I hit a challenge like this one. Still I do it, as if I ignore any time I hit a slight hurdle I would never do anything at all!


1, 2 & 3 are Choleric
4 & 5 are Melancholic
6 & 7 are Plegmatic
8, 9 & 10 are Sanguine

1	2	3	4	5
6	7	8	9	10

As ever, all are snaggable, but credit would be appreciated. The credits are available over at my icon journal - d4s_icons


All in all it's more rain today ... but seeing as I am working after lunch and into the early evening it doesn't really affect me today!

I am going to do some work on the shawl I am crochetting for Andrew & Jess's baby (due in June).  I had hoped to knit it, but after re-knitting (over 200 stitches ) row 3 & 5 about 10 times, and still ending up wrong, I decided I would fall back on the simple granny square crochet, which I think I could properly do in my sleep!  The odd thing is that I have knitted jumpres & cardigans, no problems.  Yet I couldn't sort out the long pattern.  Yet I can crochet, and have (in the past) crochetted complicated circular mats, yet I can't seem to follow a crochet pattern for anything else (even something as simple as a scarf).  Just shows how odd I really am!

Then after lunch it's work ... and then tomorrow is Sunday.  So -






15. Do you like to watch reality TV shows?
Only something like Strictly Come Dancing, Great Pottery Showdown, Great Sewing Bee & Bake Off.
I don't even think about Love Island, or shows like that.

16. National TimTam Day is today. This day is all about celebrating one of Australia’s most loved snacks, the TimTam biscuit, which first hit the shelves in 1964. Have you ever had a TimTam?
I had never even heard of them ... and ironically as I Googled the first thing that came up was that it was a percussion instrument!
So when I eventually found out what they were, the answer was "no"






Right, see you Monday x

Before I type any more I must add that this is my Aunt who was Mum's best friend ... neither of my actual relations are/were ever bothered about me!

Anyway, I spoke to Auntie Mary yesterday.  She is 90 but I always end up laughing my way through the call, and she always cheers me up.

Any way, as to her concern ... she thinks I am seriously ill (even worse than in January), as she asked me my plans and I said I had cleaned the car that morning, and was planning to sort out, and clean, my shed today (which I have done).  So, she knows I am not great with housework, unlike Mum, and now she is worried that I am really ill!!!

Anyway, tasks done, although I will admit my lounge could do with dusting - maybe I will do that tomorrow before I head off to Eric's funeral.

On an annoying note - in England garden centres are open, so I drove out this morning to get petrol, and to visit the garden centre.  I was going to be a "good girl" and get a grow bag and 3 tomato plants.  So, I went, only to find that it had moved to the other side of the city!!!  So decided that I shall pick them up tomorrow on my way home instead.

And, I am missing a couple of days meme - so

24 What’s the biggest problem you’re facing today?
At present I am sneezing, and sneezing. My shed was very, very dusty

25 What two colors do you think look best together?
LOL - I am colourblind, so I see colours in my own way. And often what I think is a colour, isn't. I did paint my study wall recently, purple ... while the other 3 are orange. I think it looks good, but have yet to ask anyone else.

26 Popcorn or pretzels?
Popcorn, no contest!
