woops...

....I am seriously thinking about updating this so-called blog very soon....

I promise.

DRugs are good, mmmmmkay?

Had a killer head on Saturday, gone on Sunday, back today. Spent the day with my good friend Mersyndol, and am now headache-free, although slightly pain-killer-hungover!!!

Knitting - since my last post (if you can call it a "post"), I have made three Forest Canopy shawls (love that pattern, quick and beautiful, I've made each one different, by varying how deep I knit the borders) - one Silk Garden, one Handmaiden Seasilk, and one with an Italian yarn, the name of which escapes me... I'm still going with the red/blue/green/yellow pinwheel blanky for Steve and Ezz'z baby, and started another blanket (square, knit from the centre-out) for same nephew/nieceling. Also finished two special surprises for two special people who may or may not read this, so I'll wait till I see them before posting details!

Photos as soon as I can...

Off for another nap
xxxxxx

Jeez I'm boring....

I love Natalie Dee and want to meet her but I think I'd embarrass myself by being all shy and awestuck....

This cartoon makes me nearly wet my pants every time I look at it. Does that make me childish?? Meh, it's funny!!!

Let this be a warning to you...

Ooooh, what's this? A lunar landscape...????

Nope, 'tis the aftermath of being stupid enough to brave the 40 degree heat/sun and go swimming in a friends' pool without enough sun screen on.... (I DID have sunscreen on, just not enough on my shoulders. No other body parts were burnt......did you notice that I have already resumed - that's not the right word, but you know what I mean - my pastiness in colouring, even before I've peeled??)

mmmmmmmmm....flaky, peeling skin soon.....

Rememberies

I just saw this on Jermaines' blog, and thought it interesting, interesting enough to see what happened if I put it here:

If your eyes are passing over this paragraph now: Even if we don’t speak often, please post a comment with a memory of You and I. It can be good or bad, it can be anything you want. When you’re finished, post this little paragraph on your blog and be surprised (or mortified) about what people remember about you.

The year of the close-up?? I think not...

hmmmmmm.....it's been a while.....!

To begin, here are some silly close-ups of us as Christmas at Mum and Dad's place. The oldies graciously declined to be photographed in this manner, claiming it to be, well, silly....

Davo (middle child), and me (note that I am valiantly trying to minimise the eye-wrinkle-age by maintaining a botox-like forehead pose......)

Erin (or Derin - Dave's lady-love)...

Baby bro, Stevie - we'll be teaching at the same school this year, can't wait!! (of course I'm going to be telling the kids that HE is 9 years my senior, not the other way 'round....)

little later on in the evening.....

Stevies' lovely wife, Erin - we were PRETENDING to be drunk.....

and, as this is upposed to be primarily a knitting blog, photographic proof that knitting (a little cardy for the baby that Erin and Steve are currently gestating, YAY!!) has been taking place - more to follow soon!!

See ya later, when your legs are straighter!!! (yeah, I know, that was lame..)
