Happy Harry Potter day!

G'day all!

Things are not too good around here at present. Still, we will get us a copy of Harry Potter at some point this weekend (I know, I know - we don't have it Right Now?) and will read it intently and it might distreact us from our woes (nb Ia m relatively happy but DH is in the pits). Then we will get us the Oz version cos it has a different cover and often different insides!

In the meantime I will wear my Harry Potter tshirt, the one that is the clothing brand not the book series.... just cos I can!

If we can get a car today, we are off to Fairplay (aka South park!). Hope we get the car....

anon!

    (I can't leave comments on your other blog, so will leave them here).

    I'm sorry to hear that only half of you is doing well - is this just a little Rocky Mountain Low, is it just a glitch that is overcomeable? Surely there is someone in a techy place that can give him some more support? Hopefully it's just a little hill in the mountains of adjustment - for them, for you, for your computer.

    Such a shame, as you were swinging along really well. As you will again. I hope things sort out quickly for you both. And enjoy the last Harry Potter instalment. I'm trekking my way through it too.

    I missed out on going to the Bendy show yesterday due to a sudden operation for my husband. So stayed home, made a curly-whirly scarf and started reading.

    Best wishes from sunny oz - as compared to yesterday when the fog didn't clear until noon!

    That's too bad. Hopefully, things will get better once he gets fully settled in and gets to know people. New jobs are hard and new jobs in another country are even harder.

    Cheer up N - tis a massive culture shock if nothing else moving half way round the world. We know you're more than capable on the job front and hope it all settles soon.

    New HP is great, I read it on Saurday cover to cover :-D Enjoyed it lots too, of course there are mixed opinions but personally I've only read one negative comment on the blogs etc.

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...
