Offline for a bit

G'day all!

Today we move into our new rental place. It will be good!

But the only internet I'll have until we get organised will be the library. I may be able to blog from there but no photos! And I won't have a phone (either a handset or a line) so I won't be able to organise the internet either. Bwahahahahahaha! Nathan is going to have to do this!

So much to talk about, so little time. I'll probably end up setting up some posts this week so when we are back online, you'll be up to date with the gazillions of washcloths, face washers and handtowels I am knitting (we don't have peaches n creme back home or even its rip-off peaches and cream... yes I know it is pathetic. I don't even have mason-dixon knitting!), the New Bikes, the New Bike Trailer and all the other things that are happening, like me joining the mystery stole along 3 without any yarn to knit it with (lots of spinning happening too - need at least 800m of lace weight), our new place, rides along Spring Creek (they have lots of parks there and gardens with purdy flowers that are teaching me what grows here).

In the meantime, I'll just moan about how sore one of my thumbs is. You would think with all the riding we've been doing (no car) that I would moan about my legs, but nope, my thumb hurts more than anything!

anon!

    Dear Lynne:

    Annette from California again. Why oh why isn't someone at HP giving you a hand with settling in? That's not very hospitable. Please ask someone for something. I'm sure they'd be glad to help and you would not have to suffer so. If they only knew they'd be there in a flash. Take heart, we love you and want you 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

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...
