I am washing another throw of mine I had not washed for a couple of years. I have not been using them for a while I think. I threw away a few things: mostly ripped clothes and bedsheets and pjs.

I have to wash the cushion cover from NZ of one of my cushion, my only one. I dont know if it can handle the machine wash or must be washed by hand? We'll see: i'll most probably turn it inside out and wash in knit cycle. 

I am reminded of my stream and bushy wooded forest tongiht , at my parents house. How I played in that wood! And that stream. Following it all the way to the village lake, through tunnels under the street, where sometimes rats lived and muskrat for sure. Fishing in it. Playing with gumboots in the water. How many tiny baby fish we collected and put in our water bowls at time. Ménés we called them.
