Scenes from a Train Window

Okay. So here's the story on this picture. I told Tricia I would help her catalog the yarn leftover from the closing of Nana's Knitting Shop. She promised to duly reward my with episodes of season 4 of the Tudors, featuring my boyfriend Henry who I adore. And who adores me. Or would if he ever knew me. (Humor me.) Wait -- let's all admire Henry for a moment so we can understand better the rest of the story.

























You see that? He could distract a saint, right? So we had ten episodes of the Tudors featuring my boyfriend Henry pictured above. And we had about 6 hefty bags full of yarn to catalog and photograph. Naturally, we decided to do a bag or two between episodes, which meant we were working really, really, really fast. I would dump out a bag, sort it quickly, and pass it to Tricia. She would make notes on the inventory records and snap the photo. Then I would scoop it up and stuff it back in a bag -- very quickly, because Henry doesn't like to wait for things like yarn indexing. He's impatient that way.

So we got through about half the total yarn and about half the total episodes, though sadly, many of the pictures are sort of insane. (Sort of? The one above looks like it was shot from a train window.)

But Trish, if you let me come back and watch the rest of the episodes, I do most faithfully promise to control my raging lust a bit better and let you take a proper photograph without rushing. Cross my heart. It won't be easy to keep a man like Henry waiting, but it will be a good exercise in discipline for all of us. ;)
