We’ve had a busy last few days, well mainly the weekend just gone. We took Monday off work to recover. Friday night we had my father in laws retirement party and I’m ashamed to say that while we fell out the door at 1.30, my parents in law lasted til 3.30!
Saturday then we had to get ourselves together in order to cook for our nieces christening on Sunday.
We made cold Chinese noodles, coconut rice, coleslaw, goats cheese tomato and olive tartlets, 2 types of potato salad, top hats, and 2 lots of my brown bread.
No idea who nicked those two tartlets there in the middle, maybe it was ghosts??
Sunday was devoted to the christening, and feeding the hoards, and was another late night. Monday we managed to make it back as far as my parents place where we brought leftovers for lunch. Didn’t get back to our own place for some chilling until late afternoon.
As a result, the amount of knitting time was seriously affected, both from lack of time and lack of energy. Ive only just gotten back into it last night. I’d turned the heel late last week and last night I picked up the stitches on the other side of the heel and started into the decreases while watching Lost. There is light at the end of the tunnel!
Talking of Lost, I think we are the only people on the planet, and certainly in Ireland, who have never followed it. We are remedying that now, very slowly, we have the first box set and are working our way through it. We are onto the 4th disc of 7. So far so good.
I enjoyed it last night. I think I could easily sit and watch episode after episode but my DH gets edgy doing it like that and likes to break it up…hence the slow going as we both want to watch it together!
