Just an update

Spent all day problem solving at work - all fell into place at the end , but why is it those things one plans to do get pushed further and further down the list and may never get done at this rate.


Listening to Goblet of Fire
as could not remember what happened so am saving new book for October half term holiday!!

What awful weather.....

What dreadful weather - got woken up in the middle of the night by the thunder and then got wet trying to get to work! I really do prefer sunshine - makes me feel better but cannot persuade Andy that we should go to warmer climes (probably 'cause we would have to be able to drive there as he hates flying! Wonder how long it would take to drive to Australia??!!)

Very tempted to knit Clapotis but having difficulty understanding the instructions so am going to do another Wavy but thought I would use some Noro that I was going to make a cardigan with but became another WIP that I did not like......

Had an email from the Prof at Uni who made some remarks about the start of my research proposal - most fair and helpful but one I don't understand what he is talking about and can find nothing in any of my research books to help.......... Perhaps I'm not cut out to do an MSc...feeling quite dispondant about it but did update my CV and fill out application form for new job so we'll see....

Going to cast on wavy knitting always makes me feel better

Hello.....

Andy cooking supper - Sweet & Sour chicken with rice so thought I'd take this opportunity to update my blog!

Went for a walk with Eileen along the Worth Way - we did 10 miles today so feeling very virtuous but know where the chocolate is hidden!!

I'm back.........

Well I have managed with some great instructions from UK Handknitters to use 'code' on my blog and create links. Delighted that I have learnt something new!

Started the LOOP-d-LOOP chain link scarf for a friend who admired it when we went to Foyles and I bought the book. Unfortunately have had quite a few false starts as had never used circular needles before. Still haven't quite got the hang of them but have adapted pattern to suit the needles. I let you know how it goes!
