Well we are right into February now, but I still seem to be on a bit of a 'time-out', with little desire or inclination to do much more than sit on the porch with a book, and do a bit of crochet while watching TV in the evenings.
However we had a couple of days of storms and even some significant rain on Monday, so I have been at my computer some mornings. I have a thirty day free trial on another editing programme so I am trying to learn what it can do, but I don't think it is really for me. I have another couple of weeks to decide.
I have also done a bit of playing with my lazer cutting but nothing to show as yet. I had a bit of trouble with soot forming around the nozzle but I have given it a good clean now so hopefully it will work better next time.
Crochet wise I have almost finished my second blanket with the pink squares, so hopefully I can show that next week. I have no idea what I can do after that!
So I only have one photo today. After all the rain earlier in the week I was up early for clinic appointment on Wednesday, and I watched the sun rising between some pine trees. There were a few puddles still on the muddy carpark and I wanted to catch a reflection of the rising sun in one of them. But I couldn't get in quite the right position, nor wait for the sun to rise a little higher or I would have missed my appointment, so I took what I could, and I was quite pleased with this one. There is a clear reflection of the trees, and you can see the sun through them in the background.
Now I am going to take my book and sit out on the porch to read, where it is considerably warmer than it is in here.
But first I will prepare this to publish tomorrow and link up with Annie's Friday Smiles.

Yes, only in Spain do you go outside to get warm as it is too cold indoors.
What a lovely photo of the sunrise!
Spring is on its way and I have now also spotted flowering almond trees (see Tuesdays blog).
Any interest from house buyers yet?
Enjoy your weekend,
Lisca
We all have weeks like that Kate. Enjoy your chill out.
Hugs,

Beautiful photo and what - warmer out- than inside? Here it´s still way too (grey and) cold. Have a smiley Friday, hugsx
You do whatever feels right for you Kate. Sometimes it's better not to fight the feelings. Have a great weekend. Hugs Angela xXx
I would LOVE to hear about your adventures traveling... I was on a severe shoestring budget traveling in Europe by myself too. It made for interesting meetings with locals. I went to out of the way sightseeing too. Carrot salad, I swear by fresh grated ginger, that not only brightened it but made it taste sweeter actually. Did I mention I sweetened it with maple syrup a little?

What a wonderful photograph Kate! That is beautiful.
I hear you about no motivation - mine is running low also at the moment, but one keeps plugging on!
Blessings

Morning Kate, You sound like you are nearing the end of the half done project pile, so the question is what's next. Have you had any interest in the purchasing of your home or is it a little quiet at the moment. Have you got a date for heading back? I too am enjoying my January and February reading, we've got fairly inclement weather at the moment and well, I'm just enjoying reading if truth be told. Hope you have a lovely week.
Hugs
