It’s been a while since I have blogged and apologies for
that. It’s been a few busy weeks of work, Euro Disney, summer colds and general
life.
In terms of life, I am just recovering from that dreaded summer
cold that comes every year but my toxic intake of daily vitamins seemed to have
fought it off quite quickly and I did not have to feel sorry for myself for too
long. Work is busy as ever and my poor colleagues were not so lucky as me and
have come down with tonsillitis – get well soon Sophie and Alison!
In terms of knitting, there have been four births in that
last five weeks so I better get knitting! Baby E, Dilan, Khiyana and a yet to
be named baby have all made appearances and I am going to have to work overtime
on working up some small pieces! I completed a little Debbie Bliss hat for
Khiyana, she tried it on and I hope she was impressed.
Luckily a few weeks ago, my new Debbie Bliss knitting book
arrived, so I am fuelled with lots of ideas. I have started a project from it
and pleased to say I only had to unravel once.
Despite the rather wet summer we first had, it’s been thoroughly
enjoyable. It started with a trip to Disneyland Paris for my niece’s 5th
birthday. I had every excuse to be a kid again.
Olympics. 28 gold medals. Right here in my home town. I have
been totally sucked in by this year’s games. Very much looking forward to going
to the Paralympics. A finishing picture of my lovely father-in-law saluting
while the Kenyan flag came on during the opening ceremony.
