Only one weekend?

G'day all!

What a weekend!

I was going to show you lovely pictures from my weekend, just a few highlights but dang-it, my image server is down because wierd things have been happening with the power supply at Monash, so no photos. Yet. Be warned.

Quick summary of my weekend - took boy out for dinner on Friday - he could choose whatever he wanted. What did he want? chicken and chips from Pinewood chicken shop. LOL Saturday morning - much running around looking for a me-friendly birthday cake and new bathers. New bathers v. depressing. Never been much of one for swimming anyway. More potting mix supplies for my roses, repotting of more roses. SIX loads of washing done during the day. Argh. Almost tshirt weather. Evening - v.pleasant - much sock knitting and possibly my favouritest (that's not a word, btw) ever movie: Star Wars. Still not impressed with the addition of the stupid CGI reptilian critters - much better without.

Sunday - treeplanting. Very windy but oh so sunny and tshirt weather! I planted a grand total of about 5 trees and made up racks of mixed plants cos the first thing I noticed as I planted those trees was that they had not been mixed up any so when the plants grow up there will be rows of this and rows of that. Had an interesting chat with the farmer. Slid in a mucky bit but Nathan far outdid me (more another day). Drove home, bought Nathan some potting supplies, kept on repotting the roses, finished the built up garden bed. cooked a fairly average dinner, downloaded 170 photo from this weekend...sorted washing from yesterday, did two more loads. ARGH!

Bed time now. Tomorrow another wonderful week at w*rk. Two more grammar and business letter writing workshops this week. I'll have to run at least one more in another week or so - so many people off work crook at present...

have a great week, wherever you are!

anon!

    Woo-wee. Was there any knitting at all? However, I bet you feel darn accomplished! I think I'll do some laundry.

    you have to come see the socks! i think they're cool. sounds like you had a busy weekend. i only wash 3-4 loads a week, but that's because i have an economy-sized washer, and the girl does her own laundry, as does the SO since he doesn't live with us. I LOVE MY WASHER!

    Hey, just because it was 22 yesterday is no excuse to go shopping for bathers!!! 22 in August probably means 42 in January, when, even if you have found some togs fit to wear by then, it will be too hot to cross whatever lies between you and the water (eg patio, beach etc)!

    My boyfriend would love you with all the Star Wars talk! He's a bit of a fan.

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 a heap of meds (not ABs)

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 means no

Competition time!

G'day all! Because I am feeling generous at the moment, having given myself a nice dose of mercury (very therapeutic as long as you are Victorian or earlier, doncha know!) and also having developed a grand-niece, I reckon it is time for a competition. What do you need to do? One of two things (or both if you want!). Tell me: about a time you mishandled dangerous chemicals and/or compounds, eg when you played with a mercury switch and blew it up, causing mercury vapour to cover the whole area (including your lungs and skin...) or what I should do to appear more like a great aunt? (Eg how should I dress, what embarrassing habits should I adopt) (Don't say get wrinkly - I am working on that all by myself! LOL) Prizes are your choice of anything up to 100g of yarn not yet sold from my website or if there is something specific you particularly want that is sold I can see if I can dye some more up or do a custom dye job. Competition closes Friday May 11 10PM EST Oz time. That mea
