Booking Through Thursday – The Belgariad

19 Friday Aug 2005

There seem to be quite a few people in addition to me who have read David Eddings series, The Belgariad, multiple times. So, this week, a few questions about these books.

  1. First, have you read this five-book series? If so, how many times? Yes, though I’m not proud to admit that one of my friends at University had to force me into the first one!! I think I read it just the once, hmmm… time to pick them up again, perhaps.
  2. What brings you back to read this story again? I think they were well written, built the suspense well and had interesting characters
  3. Who are your favorite characters? Why? I had a huge crush on Silk if I remember right. He was fun, cool and dangerous. When I play Dungeons and Dragons (just the computer games) I like to be a thief character because of him.
  4. If you could magically be a part of their saga, would you? Would you want to take the place of one of the characters, or be someone new? I wouldn’t mind being a character in the background – say an innkeepers daughter: I don’t like being in on the action generally. I’m a quiet retiring type!

Here’s where I got up to on the first day of December (I had a good chunk of knitting time on Sunday afternoon) loving the Tangled Christmas lights colourway so, so much (also some outtakes from before I found a good spot to photograph it) #msyhobbitkal #muststashyarn
Well, here’s my first Birk sock! Knit with rather delicious Plucky “Yakkity” in the peppercorn and beets me colourways. Cast on last Saturday; finished the toe last night. Cast on for sock two to commence shortly... #dailyplucky #knitpkforbirks
Received notification in my email this morning that a new @muststashyarn knit along was launching Dec 1! I hadn’t planned an advent knit but had seen the pattern in my Ravelry highlights and wanted to join in right away! I was lucky enough to have 3 skeins of Christmas-y #muststashyarn in my stash including this one: Tangled Xmas lights #msyhobbitkal
Just finished! Smooth operator socks (pattern by Susan B Anderson) knit with Must Stash perfect sock in Raspberry truffle (stripes) and Sweet nothings (speckle). #muststashyarn #sossocks
Two baskets of Work in progress - seems I am better at starting than finishing! 🤷‍♀️
We’ve been doing household maintenance this weekend - Dr K oiled our deck (Felix is not amused) and I have oiled our outdoor furniture (in the garage because there was no where left to work). Feeling accomplished!
Just picked this up from the framers - originally finished back in 2012. This was a mystery band sampler by SDW cross-stitched in various blue silks from Vikki Clayton (Hand-dyed threads). It took me about a year to complete.
Moody morning view of my Peace Lilly - been keeping this one alive for nearly a year (although I think it might need to move away from the windows little - down the other end of the shelf). I think it might be time to add another plant to the family...
New carafe and glass on my bedside table - looks like a “chill pill”.
