I spent a couple of hours darning socks.

You would say that darning socks was a job of another century. Not so for me. I have some awesome pure wool socks that are made by artisans. The people who make them take the wool from the sheep and use a spindle to turn the wool to a thread. They are not the kind you can wear with shoes, but they are wonderful in winter to use at home or at night. And as I have severe vascular problems, my feet get very cold in winter. Many times I get up in the middle of the night to run to the bathroom and don´t wear any slippers. The socks suffer and after a while end up with holes. Today as Leticia was here and taking care of cleaning the floor, I decided I would spend that time darning socks. They are not so beautiful so as to go to a ball clad in them, but they are warm and comfy. I put on one pair as soon as I finished darning them and here I am, not heater and no cold feet.
