Bendi

G'day all!

Just a quick question for Melburnians - who is going to Bendi?

I want to go on the Friday so I get to see the good stuff before it is all sold. Assuming the Big Car has new tyres, I will take it if I am driving people. However, if someone wants to drive me, that is good too! If I have to take my baby car, I can only take one passenger - anyone in the back seat needs to remove their legs when they get in the car plus they can't actually buy anything cos the boot will be full of my new fleece stash.... The big car is a wagon and should be able to take lots of stash. If worst came to worst, it has roof bars - we could put someone on top so that the precious stash doesn't blow off! LOL (that was a joke, Joyce!)

So let me know when you are going!

anon!

    Nope, no Bendigo for me, already spent the wool budget at Marta's, plus just received very self-indulgent orders from Socks That Rock and Vesper.
    Also, two rather large and spoilt cats like to eat (lots and often)
    So I will live vicariously through SnB and Blogs, buy lots and show me photos, please.

    Yer me too,I would love to get to Bendigo(but too far away,obviously) as I need some (ahem,heaps of sock wool I can dye!),but I just spent my allowance on stuff from woolly cottage,and I had planned on some lornas Laces but temptation lead me astray.
    I think I gave myself too many B'day treats this year but what the heck!(excuse!!!! a few extra orders for hand dyed socks but I will post soon with all that)
    What are you are doing in Merredin!!!!(Don't answer that its just a normal response thingy!) Its a long way from your place!!!!!!

    I was thinking of going too, but I spent all my money on a cat's eye (literally) and my order of Lorna's Laces is still to be paid back. I'll think good thoughts about sheep and alpacas and try to be more organised and save for next year.

    I'm certainly heading up to Bendigo this year again, but I've booked a seat on a bus organized by the Box Hill guild - very cheap, and I can knit all the way there and back. Maybe you could see if there's any spaces left?

    When is the show? Ah, next week. Hmm, I could be tempted. Email me if you'd like some company.

    Ken reckons he wants to go to Bendy (and take me!), so he can see what all the fuss is about! But it will be Saturday - he has a job! I just hope he can manage to get the car serviced before we go, or we might spend the day admiring the bush while waiting for the RACV.
    In view of the fact that the minimum income specified for happiness is 12 grand, I presume US, which converts to $15900 Aus, and the Aussie pension comes out about $13000, I won't be able to buy anything. Ken might get some sock yarn, although he still owes me for what I bought from Lisa's sale! The thing about money and happiness is that if you have more than the specified minimum amount, at least you can be miserable in comfort. Aussie pensioners aren't even able to be comfortable!!

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

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...
