What a weekend
5 Mar 2007
I've had the busiest weekend, which is unusual for me.
Saturday morning I started my new job - I did a four hour training shift (where did that other one go? I can't find it anywhere ...) at 8:00am, shot a short film in the afternoon at the local art gallery (my friend Nikki was the director/writer/everything else) and there were REAL ACTORS as extras. I had a two line part. It was a fun but exhausting process.
Sunday morning I did another training shift at the new job (can't be that bad, I went back a second time) and then played lawn bowls with the old work social club, it was WAAAY to hot for anything more strenuous, but at least you can drink beer whilst playing lawn bowls.
Have you ever played lawn bowls? It's such fun, not too strenuous, not too difficult, nice and competitive and the boys and girls can do it together, but best of all you can do it barefoot. Those oldies are really onto something there, it's a great afternoon's activity.
As for the knitting, I've abandoned all personal projects and am now concentrating full time on the April snb exhibition knitting. I've earmarked six little projects to get done in the sixish weeks left, am on project 2 so maybe there might be time to get another shawl done I hope. My two favourite ones (shetland tea and peacock feathers) will be unable to be displayed on the day because they're going to the easter show as entries (v apprehensive about this, am I making a fool of myself?) on the 23rd March.
Right now I've got to clear the dinner dishes, get the kids off to bed, sort out the uniforms and my work clothes for tomorrow as I start at 8:00am again, pack the lunches for school, check homework, tidy up the living room from the after-school apocolypse. Where is that husband of mine? I think he works late just to avoid this.
Please excuse the brevity.
