Glad tidings
Sir's fair isle is now 97cm round. His favourite sweater is 93cm round - but, heck, the fair isle is thicker yarn, and he's put on a *little* bit of weight recently, so, I think this will do the trick. Hurrah. The problem is that quite a bit of knitting needs to be done before it's actually long enough to measure round without distorting the measurements.
You want a photo?
Hopefully that'll work. I'm feeling lazy with the mobile phone camera in an effort to get something out here for y'all.
Last night's Brownies was frenetically brilliant - and exhausting. I had a gin and tonic, and an awful lot of food, afterwards, and crashed into bed somewhere around 11pm. Snowy Owl had done this awesome shadow puppet activity. They made puppets and then put on a show. A lot of mermaids were attacked by dragons, various fish floated about the place, and there was an underwater bunny rabbit, who wasn't very good at running under water (yes, that was the journalist's daughter who came out with that one. She has a knack for this sort of thing).
I also have a list.
- Bank accounts
- Rugby (two matches, one after the other - I hope we don't get delayed at the bank, but KO isn't until 1pm)
- Buy Nancy's 18th Birthday present
- Nancy's party
- Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition at the National History Museum with added disused tube station spotting
- More knitting - hopefully finish G's hat so I can move onto N's socks for travel knitting
- Sort out Dad's sock heels (afterthought heel has apparently been chewed by mice, so no big fuss to sort out, as long as I can locate the yarn).
- Laundry (including sheets)
- Start writing Christmas cards and cocooning presents
- Various guiding related emails (what to do next week, Division Stuff)
- Pay cash in for DivC present
- Wish it were pay day a little sooner - I did most of my Christmas Shopping this month
- Read gas meter and electricity meter (that took some remembering)
OK. If I don't shower now, I will not be at the bank in half an hour.
