My husband's latest hobby

[quantumcupcakes]

I've mentioned before that my husband is a hobbyist, he loves to try new things and while 90% of the time, they don't stick, he has fun trying them out. And really, isn't that what life's about?

I just want you to imagine the scene in front of me. Jack, 66-years-old, ex-RAF pilot & mechanic, pretty damn masculine... is learning to knit. Very unsuccessfully so far, I might add but Luce has the patience of a saint and is correcting his grip on the needles (which seem so small in his hands) and guiding him.

Now don't get me wrong, it's a valuable skill and I love him for trying it. But I can't help but laugh because it's such a bizarre image.

Also, it feels so normal a moment in my life to sit here and laugh at the two of them. To just be living in the moment and spending time with them. That, more than anything, make me feel more like myself than I have in weeks. The fact I felt like the need to share it and my reaction to it as well speaks volumes to me of my mental state. And I'm trying not to put too much pressure on this moment, and just live it. Keep living it.

So, if you don't mind me, I need to go and kiss my husband and girlfriend!

That's wonderful; I'm glad you have them and I hope he knits you something nice. =D

That sounds lovely and intimate. And possibly a bit funny, depending on the knitting progress.
