still here! (and by here i mean....there)

yes. so, i reluctantly left krakow, spent one day in glasgow, found first grey hair, am now lying low in canada because the shock of going straight back to glasgow might have killed me.
for the moment i've given up on the complicated shawl because i've come up with a non-complicated project. i'm knitting my friend a sweater and she's fixing my computer. good deal. and we got to go to romni wool and the staff think we're weird now but that's okay. she got really nice merino though it's actually quite heavy. i got fabulous knitting needles made of some weird dairy protein. they feel sort of like my favourite pair of bendy plastic needles but better. and they're pretty. but they do smell weird.
in the meantime, getting back to glasgow early morning on the 5th then scrambling for a place to live.
