Hello, flisties, hello!
I can't believe I will be on holiday this time next week. This is the first holiday I've been on where I haven't felt holiday-like at ALL in the leadup. Possibly it's because this one will begin with A Boat rather than A Plane and that is something I'm just not used to. (We are going to Tasmania, which for those of you not familiar with Oz geography, is the big island down the bottom. If you want scale, it's about the same size as Ireland).
Possibly I feel this way because life and work have been such a whirl and I feel like I've been overburdened with responsibility lately. I really do feel a bit as if I'm hanging onto everything by my fingernails and it is limiting my ability to engage in human interaction.
Hey, Colin Morgan? Yes, you, with the scruff and the velvet suit and the twinkle in your eye. Is it possible for you to be any more gorgeous? Try, I dare you. *settles down and waits*
It amuses me to look at those old photos of wee!Colin in that rather ugly loungeroom (or in his wee flat while filming Doctor Who) and how much that contrasts with awards ceremonies and champagne fountains :)
I am thinking of applying for a position as a member of an advisory board to the forthcoming charities commission. Am I insane? But it's a good career move. Of course, I'm sure there will be a lot of applicants.
I ripped back and reknitted the left front of my Brigid jacket after working out where I'd gone wrong. Now working on the sleeves. I've blocked the back and fronts - it's the first time I've used blocking wires on a garment as opposed to a scarf - and it looks *awesome*. Can't wait to show it off! I think I will focus on garments rather than shawls this year, if only to use up some of my garment-sized quantities of stash.
