Saturday Sky and stuff


Above is my saturday sky and it is raining, raining and more rain, we need rain desperately and do get our fair share on the coast but not in the catchment areas on the mountains which is only approx. 30 minutes drive away, crazy I know.

Yesterday I had an accrued leave day off work, and with the rain not much got done but catching up with knitting. I did one load of washing and put it in the dryer, then I crochet around 2 knitted blankets of 35 x 6 inch squares, and then crochet together 2 more blankets completely. These get donated by the Knitters Guild Kiama to the Mental Health Unit at our local public hospital.

On this raining saturday morning I am getting a head cold, it has been coming on for about 3 days now, and isn't coming on very quickly either, which maybe is a good thing, although I do prefer illness to come and go very quickly, I don't do sick well, and as a wife, mum etc when does anything change, Sick or Not

I finished the left sleeve and front of the Sunrise Circle Jacket the other night, I have now cast on for the right sleeve and front and am up to the second increase. I hope to have this finished by the end of July, it is a really nice and easy knit. I may not get it put together as the next few weeks are busy for me: Work 5 days per week, today I have Knitters Guild in Kiama, tonight we are going out to dinner with friends celebrating a friends 40th birthday, tomorrow (weather permitting)we have a ride to Manly with the HOG group, next Saturday is my baby's 23rd Birthday, then on Sunday 23 July we hope to rip out the laundry, entry and ensuite downstairs, the last weekend in July we are going away to celebrate 30 years since we met, I will miss SNB in Wollongong, but a weekend away is going to be great.

Yep it is great weather for frogs, ducks and knitting. I too am going to do some crocheting to make a blanket. Though I do have 4 boys inside with nothing to do but argue.
My birthday is next weekend aswell. Must have been a popular month cause I know of 5 other people whos birthdays are from the 22nd to the 29th july.
Have a nice weekend away.
