Looms can be noisy beasts. Depending on which loom I’m using it either clicks and clacks or thumps and bangs. For the past couple of weeks, I just can’t bear the idea of the noise.

It’s been hot this summer. Really, really hot. And muggy. It’s this El Nino condition that’s doing it, but it doesn’t really matter why. What does matter Is the utter lack of ambition that accompanies this condition. But then it doesn’t matter - and that’s “ennui.”
