Picture theft and scrummyness!

Hey campers!

I'm losing the plot. Really.
I have just tried for a solid 30 mins to sign in and blog but to no avail.... so I browsed the blogs I read and nosed in a few patterns... then when I signed in resignedly for the last time I realised I'd been signing in incorrectly (previous name, no blog) and no wonder I had no details or way to post. Duh!
**This is what you get for trying to blog before finishing your 1st cup of tea of the morning!** I think i'll go and make a pot !

And so.... I wonder what else I've lost the ability to do?! Well i cannot find my pictures to put up on here- theyre on the phone itself but the pc link cant find them or wont find them more's the point. So you have been saved from lots of new kitty pictures and when I went to the Sealife Centre on wednesday.

Yep you heard correctly- I have a new kitten! He's gorgeous and sweet and, at 8wks, extremely clever! His name is Charlie and I love him! It doesn't mean I dont love Pussycat any more- but I felt we needed extra companionship for her. Though if she stopped hissing and running away she'd realise he just wants to play and make friends. Instead it has taken her 3 days to come to me for a fuss and still refuses to sit in the same room as Charlie. Oh well.














Chris donated some pictures last night while I was sock knitting so I could show the world my new baby boy!















And here's the two boys together. Charlie and Chris are best buds atm...we'll see how long it lasts... he'll come back to me eventually ;o)

And so.... the knitting content is: Get Knitted

Reggie and I were chauffered down to Bristol yesterday to go the the Get Knitted open saturday. (No pics as I was too absorbed in the wonderful woollyness and coping with headache attacks) It was so hot in there when all the people started piling in... phew!
I really enjoyed it though and after fondling and sighing at the sheer range if stuff I bought...*drum roll*....

*5 balls Noro Kureyon for a felted bag
*3 balls of Adriafil Kid Mohair (fab substitute for KSH- same thickness and more yardage and cheaper!) for a Kiri shawl one day when i can knit lace without endless frogging
*1 skein of Artyarns Ultramerino sock yarn which was in the sale (bargain!!!) and is on the needles already ;o)
*2 bags of buttons for future use
*1 shawl/scarf thingamajig
*6.5mm Addi circ. for the felted bag

This could have been a whole lot worse- everything was gorgeous! Ask Reggie ;o)...This was so reserved for me but with starting back at uni soon I really should curb the knitting impulses as I have to work super duper hard this year what with the project and training and rubbish exams.

Also... I'm in the final stages of ribbing on 'Twiglet'/Barra so i'm hoping i'll have that done before the end of the day since it was my aim to finish that completely this week being off from work.
Plus the the back is compete on Pandora. Yay :)
I'll have to post pics when i've figured out the whole phone camera picture eating thing.

So in conclusion i've had a really good week off and probably spent a small fortune with looking at fished and big crabs, buying kitten and paraphenalia and going to Get Knitted. Ho Hum it's why I go to work after all!
Sympathy is welcome- I'm back at work tomorrow!

Great week by the sound of it. Always spoils it having to go back to work, though! Charlie looks so loveable. I do hope your headaches get better soon.

I remember when my two were as small as Charlie. You wouldn't think so looking at Cairo now. You'll find that the two of them settle down once they're used to each other. I had the self-same problem with Cairo when I first brought Lara home and he then ended up letting her suckle on him (surrogate mummy style even though he's a he!).
