• Knitting news

  I've nearly finished an iPod cosy (just some casting off, an iCord and to sew it up - most of which can be achieved on the way to or from Guides if I get a seat on the bus) for Christmas.  I've also worked out what Heather's housewarming present's going to be, am nearly done on another Christmas present - I'd say 3/4 of the way through, and am on the verge, when the iPod cosy is done, of casting on for a very exciting new Christmas present, using a new-to-me technique. 

  
  

  Please excuse the vagueness, the recipient of the iPod cosy is the only person who doesn't read this blog.  Photos ought to be taken, and posted after Christmas, but may not be.  I'll try with the iPod cosy for sure.

  
  

  I came back to work this morning to discover that my desk had been slightly flooded.  Fortunately, very little water damage occured, and I'd actually had a major tidy-up before departure, so there wasn't as much paper to get damaged as there normally would have been.  The photo of Liz, Sam and I is undamaged, my knitting calendar looks a bit ripply, and my phone list is slightly the worse for wear.  The rest of it is fine.  Note to self.  Put more things in the bottom 'in' tray.  Just in case.

  
  

  Tonight, I shall pluck up the courage to tell GinC that I'm out of there come the end of term.  She has enough assistants.  Jo has said that she would have walked out long ago if she had been in my place.  I've sent an email to warn SarahJ, and invite her to join me at the new unit I want to start (if it gets off the ground) and then I'd have two assistants, which is probably overdoing it, but would mean that we'd all be able to miss a week here or there without causing huge amounts of hassle, and that's a good thing.  Plus, I'd have the benefit of two assistants who, I think, are better with the girls than I am, and that'll be good for learning.

  
  

  I want my lunch now.

  Emergency Edit: SarahJ doesn't think she'll stick it out much longer with GinC either 'with what little I've seen of her, she's been so rude'.  She can't do weekends though - but we will think of something (even if that something's a new unit in Camden where I turn up as 'body' rather than doing anything admin-y, or active planning) point being that the girls don't really like GinC that much either.
