On Tuesday I had to see the skin specialist for a large black spot thingy on my back, he froze off a sun spot above my lip (well doesn't it look a treat today, I am glad it is Council's Union picnic day tomorrow so I don't have to come to work) and he took a skin cancer of my arm (both of which I had no idea were there), and now I have to go back to have this mole cut off my back next month. The next available appointment was a week before our annual bike ride to Canowindra as I did't want to have to ride with stitches in my back I put it off until after that weekend. Oh what joy of ageing, now we know the dangers of all those years at the beach and sun baking in coconut butter and baby oil, but hey the tan was great. Isn't it funny how now I think white is nice. When I was young I was always dark brown people thought I had olive skin, now people think I have lovely fair skin as I try not to get my face in the sun much at all (just a little bit).
I went to the knitting frenzy on Saturday it was a good day, sheep being sheared, a couple of women spinning and a lot more knitting away on the squares to be made into blankets to be sent to Mongolia. One ladies mother had knitted 350 squares, that is going to make 10 blankets. They raise money for medical procedures for people in Fiji, India etc for surgery on some awful looking body defects in mainly children. The idea is that you get people to sponsor the squares you are knitting. The organisers are hoping to raise more funds than last year and they are certainly going to have more blankets than last year. The local paper took a photo of me and a few others watching the sheep shearing, well I can tell you it really has kicked my butt into gear as far as the eating better is going. I have been eating heaps better since yesterday (hahaha) when I saw the picture. Light and Easy Cereal with Soy milk for breakfast, I have my homemade natural yoghurt, strawberries, a mandarin, a salmon salad to eat at work, and will have to decide on something healthy for dinner, and drink plenty of water. I must start walking of a night again.

Hello, and thanks for commenting at my blog (sunnybook yarns). Are you the same Annie who used to belong to several Yahoo! knitting groups?
Your blanket is lovely! Blue-and-yellow is my favorite color combination.
My dad has skin cancer and has been having bits removed from his hands, arms, and face for years. Keep watch, and don't let it get away from you.
Come back and visit my blog again soon.
