Sssshh!
Mood: Bland
Listening to: Rugby on tv
Just tiptoed in to see what's what, I seem to have been away for ages. I guess I've been busy, or tired, or generally otherwise occupied. I really should be typing copy but never mind.
Have picked up some knitting after ? how many years idle? I always used to have some on the go but the computer has killed that off, much too easy to sit and type or while away the hours chasing one link after another. Also, my kids are not fans of hand knitted stuff and the last jersey I did for Himself was too big and has put me off a bit. Anyway, one of Brent's workmates has just become a daddy, six weeks earlier than anticipated and at 5 lb 5oz I thought something little should be useful - so I'm knitting possibly the tiniest cardigan I've ever done - its' so cute!!
Also did a quiz for his work's social club after dinner entertainment last week. I'll never growl at the kids for leaving things to the last minute again because I'm worse than them all put together. It went well, everybody seemed to enjoy it.
Squash looming on the horizon, the males in the family played a fun tourny last weekend and now we've all got American Leagues starting on Friday, goes over three weeks. Oh I can feel my bits aching in advance.
Not looking forward to work for the rest of the week. Boss's are away and the troll will be working all week instead of just on my day off. I shouldn't be like that. It's my problem and I just don't know how to address it. Perhaps I will wear makeup.
Oh! Listen to this. Took my lifetime's collection (you know, from Mum, the Aunts etc) of pearl necklaces in to a jeweller last time I was in PN to discover whether they were all costume stuff or the real McCoy - I suspected one string was good, and it was. Never wore them because they were just too long so got them restrung (now slightly short but that can be fixed with re-knotting) as my birthday pressie - Brent wanted to get me a new string but I said what's the point, I'd rather re-vamp what I've got - and bugger me do you know what they've valued it at?? Are you sitting down?????? I'll have to write it out cos this darn site does funny things with numbers - One thousand seven hundred and fifty dollars. Oh My God. Unbelievable. But at least now they will come out of the drawer and be used. Dad got them for Mum I think, either he won them on Scoop The Pool or they could be the ones she bought when she went on her cruise to Japan and round the Islands not long after he died. Either way there's a little bit of both of them there which makes it all the nicer for me.
OK, must shuffle off now. Next time I will expand on the section/house thing, and the clearing up/disposing stage. Hmm. Draining.
Laterz.....
