an unplanned event

this my dears is a blown capacitor.

happily knitting away when there was smoke, smell and a frying sound: a multimedia festival.

not the first time that's happened. in 2015 i experienced it for the first time. the good news is that i learned to solder  and now i am not daunted by it.

discovered however that i need a capacitor of another kind besides the ones i have and i'm waiting for a response of an online place surprise surprise in northern spain not barcelona nor madrid .

 taking the job easy, no rush, watching a lot of j doramas to keep up my japanese and my mind entertained while i wait.

what i learned:

• that you can't keep the machine on and idle. capacitors and fuses blow.
• that when you ask a question in a forum people answer what they want  not what you asked⋋__⋌
• that there's a LOT of reading comprehension issues (╯︵╰,)

knitting my obsessions away

crosswalks, especially the shibuya crossing( what else) with all the ambiguity it provokes.

the pandemic left me with a sense of not having much/anything to say so i was doing a lot of utilitarian work, sewing, knitting tops and sweaters ,lots of house cleaning.

slowly reformatting my thoughts and pent up feelings bcse the importance laid in survival.

the first opera i attended  in a year and a half was nabucco it really put feelings out there. firstly, and i could have been me,  the reading was less political ( it was in verdi's time) and more covid ,with the choir wearing masks  and the costumes 1960's everyday people. teachers shopkeepers and many waiters. the va il pensiero scene was incredibly powerful breaking the 4th wall and becoming the audience that without leaving the stage.kudos to the stage director. it was  a collective catharsis .

the digression comes becuse week after the performance i began working agin.

double bed jaquard,this one there's a mistake in the color sequence so it changed the strioes which were supposed to be grey. dont mind it too much, as this works deal with ambiguity. but i'll knit it again the way it's supposed to be.
