Final Number Fourteen

I'm quite enjoying these chore photos...maybe I'll keep going. The house would certainly benefit!

Number Thirteen (without superstition)

Dishes are more fun to photograph than actually do. But I have had a productive morning. Applied for another 2 jobs and dropped in a cv for relief teaching at a local school. Here's hoping. Time to clean the house now.

Number Twelve

Had a quiet morning doing some knitting. Have got 2 more repeats to finish off the increase section, I like how it's looking so far. Is yours quite curly? I suppose blocking will fix that. Sick of all my wool at the moment so am paying a visit to Mascoes (sp?) today and having a coffee with my sister while I'm in town. How did the Swedish lesson go?

Number Eleven

I contemplated doing a massive heap of tissues shot, but decided that it might fall under the over-sharing category. Mmm. Bed. It's even nicer today because I had to call in sick to work (I did this yesterday so that Sara could find cover. Supposed to be assisting today at an enormous Korean wedding where the bride has 5 different outfits. Just couldn't do it. Not a good look to be blowing my nose and sneezing at the back of the church really). This book is good. I almost couldn't read it because the cover illustration creeped me out so much, but it's interesting.

Number Ten

Morning tea. Had to assist a friend at a photo shoot all day today, and I'm SICK, blergh. So I plodded through and was very happy at 10 (how convenient) when some lovely person brought me a tiny pot of tea. Aren't nice people nice?

In other news, my car failed its warrant. Damn. $400 worth of repairs need doing, got 2 new tyres on the way home today, that was exciting.

Has your present arrived yet? Hope I sent it to the right place! I will post some photos of the saroyan tomorrow, have been a slacker. Sorry! I'm off to soak in a hot bath for a while now. My head is all stuffed full of cottonwool and steam feels like a nice idea.

Number Nine

Chore day today. Have just finished 5 hours worth of errands which included a trip to Pak 'n' Rage. Am tired. Have work (after school care) in 45 minutes and all I want to do is sleep.

This is all I got

I'm happy with how this is coming together. The pattern is really easy to follow for an idiot like me. And this wool is perfect for the project.

Number Six

I had a really frustrating morning (see email rant) which was salvaged by coffee with a friend at Chapter in Mt. Eden. She told me that wherever we are at any given moment is exactly where we are meant to be and that I should stop berating myself and not worry. This turned out to be good advice. I was so cross with myself about work that I decided I would go and deliver my cv to as many local schools as possible before 3 and find some more teaching work dammit!

I click-clacked into a school office in Westmere and was promptly offered a day next week. I had walked in just as the school was trying to arrange enough cover for 7 teachers to have a training day on the new national standards. Excellent.

Number Five

My titles just get more and more creative. This is what we came out to this morning, and it explains all the caterwauling at 3am. I think its little hairy toes are quite sweet in a squirmy sort of way. Sorry about the lack of creativity, I'm tired. I'll try and be more interesting tomorrow!

Saw Mel today , got a new toy! A swift so that winding up my wool will be quicker and easier...and I may have also bought a really nice skein of koigu to practice with. Mel says hi!

Number Four

Saturday morning coffee in the sun. Dressing gown makes its debut : )

My excuse for not being dressed yet is that we were out late last night at a drinks thing for Mikhail and Tuki who are over here for a couple of weeks. Was nice to see them, and by late, I mean late for me. So midnight-ish. It's Elise and Giona's hen and stag dos tonight, will take photos!
