Happy blogiversary to me!

(I won't now go on to the birthday song of the Volga boatmen - may the cities in your wake, burn like candles on your cake....at your age you ought to learn, first you pillage *then* you burn!..... hear the women wail and weep, kill them all but SAVE THE SHEEP!... oops, sorry!)

Well it has indeed been a year. A year in which I learned to spin. A year in which I developed a few more connections outside my own immediate sphere. A year in which I got married and lost my father. A year of fanciful daydreams and terrible realities. A year of reconnecting with family and losing family. Seeing and experiencing new things (it snowed/sleeted on my car at Christmas, in summer!!! I had my first colonoscopy - how sweet! NOT!). Revisiting the old.

It's been a ride. Wonder where I'll be this time next year?

Thankyouverymuch.

    It sounds like you had quite the year! Happy Blogiversary!

    I didn't know that you just started spinning. When I first found your blog (or you found mine, can't remember which) I could have sworn that you've been spinning you're whole life!

    Happy Blogiversary and may you have many more.

    It has been quite a turbulent year so hopefully the next will be a lot calmer.

    Never heard that Volga Boatman song before but it is quite priceless. Happy Blogiversary.

Your monthly blog post

LOL G'day all! Apparently I can no longer blog more than once a month. Mea slacka, I admit. So what's been happening here? I've done a lot of knitting recently.  Ahem I may have bought a fair whack of yarn too.  So much for not spending money. I've been sick as a dog this week.  Gah.  I haven't been really ill with a virus for years - last time I was this sick was six years ago.  Man that was a fun month, DH having lost his job whilst we were getting new visas in Oz for said job, having to pack up and move everything we wanted to keep from the States, sell off the car, get rid of stuff.... all with me coughing my lungs up.  And the lymph node that came up that I thought was from a chest infection actually being breast cancer...  oh joy oh bliss. I even went to urgent care (the walk in, no appointment needed doc in a box that you see when your GP is booked out) cos I felt so crappy.   He confirmed it was probably viral and threw ...

Seattle Six

Image
G'day all! 12 is a big number around here, being all to do with Seattle Seahawks and the 12th man - did you know that American football has 11 players active on the ground at any one time and the twelfth man is the spectators watching the game?  I didn't.  I know about the 12th man in cricket but not this thing that has been adopted here regarding what I usually call gridiron. But I don't want to talk about American football and I don't want to talk about 12, I want to talk about six. Yes, we have now been in Seattle for six years (and a number of days). Six years. Where has the time gone? This is our seventh winter - how have we managed?  Some people love gloom but we are solar powered.  And Seattle tends to be rather gloomy in winter.  I manage by making stuff like crazy, I wear bright colours, and I hang out online on Ravelry.  Without my rav mates, I'd be bored out of my brain.  I'd get a job but I don't have a work permit and that me...

A year and a day

Image
G'day all! This time last year, we were bemused and confused. Our grand trip across Canada had ended and we had just flown in to SJ airport. We have been in California for a year and a day (it's a leap year). 366 days in California. How has it been? All over the shop like a madwoman's you-know-what! You can read more about it on my other blog. I have now lived in three different places in my life. By that I mean I've had an address for mail and stuff, a place where I live rather than stay for a little while. Those places are Melbourne (Oz), Fort Collins (Colo) and Campbell (Calif). In their own ways, each has been special. Fort Collins will be a place I'll always remember, and possibly the memories will be better because we didn't spend a winter there ;-) In honour of this great occasion, I announce a contest! In the comments, tell me two places you have lived (one place if you have always lived there!) and a place where you would love to live (and why yo...
