Bleh

I have a migraine. There’s been a thunking headache for the last three days (tiredness, I suspect) so I toddled off to church as normal thinking it would just stay as a headache and started to feel nauseous during the sermon. Taken Migraleve (I’ll need to get Mum to bring some over in the summer) [...]

I’m seeing this Doctor Who-ish thing around

Annie woke me up by clawing the door again last night. Not impressed. At least I’ve worked out who it is now: she did it while I was doing my physio in my room yesterday afternoon and I opened the door just to see. And then I continued to ignore it once I knew which [...]

Ooh, decisions

I am seeing the light at the end of the tunnel on my tunic, and it isn’t from the train Only three more inches of moss stitch and then I do the shoulder shaping and bind off. Then it’s some garter edging, seaming and a ribbed belt. This is one of the exciting [...]

Well, that’s just gaaaaah

This morning I started out tired, grouchy and achy. I seriously contemplated just staying in bed for a while, but forced myself up and out.
You can imagine how impressed I was to discover that parking barriers have been added to my work car park and the design is so good that everyone has to get [...]

Finding my knitting groove

I have the horrible feeling that I’ve finally worked out what kind of knitter I am and it’s not the nice, easy kind of knitter who works on small projects in chunky yarn.

The plan was to do my chores, pick up my aunt and get to Mahone [...]

The audience cheered (Star Trek review)

Just got back from Star Trek. I haven’t quite come down from the high.
Squeeeeeee!
Perhaps a review will help me to calm enough for sleep?
My plan for the afternoon worked and I got to the cinema at 6.30pm after a leisurely coffee and supper. Yum. I’m very glad that I arrived when I did: there were [...]

Knitting, work stress and the weekend

Last night at knit night I finally reached the neck on my tunic. That means I just need to do the shaping and bind off – yay! Then I do the front, which is the same as the back. But I’m halfway there, anyway. I’ve got a hairdresser’s appointment with some dying involved tonight, so [...]
