Seriously Blonde

OK, silly season hasn't finished yet - yesterday I took three buses to a hospital in Swansea & got there in time for the appointment, only to discover I was at the wrong hospital. Yes I felt a twit, but it all got sorted.

On the plus side being on the bus for so long meant, I managed to get the foot of my second sock done & finished the toe last night. Which means I can get on with one or two little extras for my parcel, hopefully the deputy headmistress will tell us about posting soon. I know it's silly, but I'd be very happy to post everything off, once the last stitch is secured. lol

Yesterday better be the end of the silly season

It all started with the sunburn, then I forgot to take my bra off when I went swimming - didn't realise until I was in the deep end of the pool, next I steamed my finger getting the corn out of the microwave, which left me with an amazing burn. Finally yesterday afternoon I was sat in my parents living room, just made a cuppa after finishing the first sock & started casting on for the second sock. Everything was going really well & then I was either victim or a rather rotten jinx or Peeves decided to pay me a visit........ the ball of wool, rolled off my lap & right in to the cuppa at my feet. It's ok to laugh, I did, although I have to admit to using a few naughty words as well lol

Some Good News

I during a phone call this lunchtime I discovered that my funding has come through & my PGCE course tuition fees are going to be paid.

This news more than makes up for the sunburn received on a trip to the beach last week - the tip of my nose & believe it or not in my hair line. Where the sunblock ended & I didn't wear a hat, serves me right!!!!! I look like the actress at the end of Medicine Man, where she's got that red line outlining her face, only she looked better :-)

Now for some peace & reading

I told everyone that when I finally got my hands on the new HP, I was going to have an 'opt-out day' were I totally ignored the world for 24hrs. I should of kept my big mouth shut & only told them the night before, I got as far as chapter 18 & I haven't had time to look at the blessed thing since :-(

I have managed to get 75% of my first sock finished, hopefully Fleur will like the design etc. I've only ever made socks for myself or little bits before (under 10's). I did discover in my stash a lovely blue & silver blending filament, which gives the socks a lovely sparkle that I'm really pleased with.

Hopefully as of tomorrow I've got a quieter few days & I can read & knit to my heart's content (I said hopefully) Watch someone/thing put the mockers in it yet again lol.

Suprise parcel

I've haven't gone out for the bus yet, as I was hoping my new sock book might of arrived this morning - No joy. Although I did get a suprise, I'd asked my aunt to look out for Ravenclaw coloured yarn & totally forgot about it.
Well, about 10 minutes ago, the postman forced a squashy parcel through the door. My Aunt had found some lovely Regia yarn & a booklet of patterns to go with it. It's a lovely way to start the day, I just wasn't expecting it :-)

FInally got my little mits on a copy

I've just got back from town with a copy of the new Harry Potter tucked away safely in my bag, after the librarian teasing & pulling it away as I was trying to get hold of it lol. Finally I managed to get it, any guesses how I'm going to spend any free time I have over the next few days (hopefully)?????? :-)
