Paul and I have a bit of an ongoing discussion about the pronunciation of ‘ennui’. He says it’s supposed to be “on-wee”. I’ve always thought it was “en-you-ai”, and definitely not “en-nu-wee”.

But I really can’t be bothered finding out how it’s supposed to be pronounced.

I’m suffering from craft ennui this week. After three weeks of saving my hands and back for work, only ignoring that to plough through bookmarking craft links and then deleting boards on Pinterest, I’d expected to be diving for the looms and embroidery projects.

Nope.

Paul has had a virus for a couple of weeks. I had food poisoning last week and it’s taken some time to bounce back. This week has been all about catching up with domestic and work stuff. I did repot some plants, though.

Maybe it’s the humidity. Maybe it’s the always intimidating prospect of starting a new book.

Maybe my subconscious knows my body needs a bit more rest before I launch into anything.
