WTF...was how to described the weather on Wednesday, it is still spring here and we had 38.5 celsius. Thank goodness it was only one day, the heat was unbearable. I keep reading all the blogs where winter is approaching, wishing I was there, in the cool and the snow, rugging up in nice thick woolly jumpers, sitting by a fire place knitting, sipping hot chocolate with a marshmallow on top, heaven. Anyway back to reality, we are heading for summer, that means nice sunny days, heat, swimming, sweating, wishing winter would fast approach. How easy do we wish our lives and years away, hoping for winter or hoping for summer. We always seem to want the opposite to what we have. Anyway wherever we are, we should all enjoy the present and make the best of it we can, even if that may be difficult some days.
I have pulled out of the "Comfort Jenn" project, I have just been too busy with Soaring Eagles project to be able to knit a square, I know what you are thinking (well most of you), it is only one square, but I am a woman possessed with knitting beanies for these kids, and they need to be in USA by 18 December, I can see myself knitting and finishing off a beanie as the person loading mail onto the plane is trying to untangle my yarn as I try to finish off ANOTHER beanie. Yes it is that bad, I am totally obsessed with it. I have sent 12 beanies early last week and hope to send another 12 at the end of next week, with a 14 day delivery as said by Australia Post, I hope that they are delivered at the other end quickly.
I have knitting planned (in my head) to do before christmas, but I can see myself rushing out at the last minute and buying all the gifts this year.
A busy weekend coming up with Christmas Party's starting this weekend, I am trying to make time to get to SNB tomorrow arvo before our HOG Christmas Party at 6.30pm, Sunday we have to rip out our laundry ceiling, cut a large damaged piece of ceiling out of the front upstairs entry and rip out the upstairs hallway ceiling, the plasterer is coming at 7am on Monday morning, so I will need to get up early to get ready for work before he arrives. And we all know what these reno's mean, Yes, more painting, so I also plan to get all the painting done before Christmas.
When I get my camera back from #2 son, I will take photos of more beanies, they are pretty nice, I am still doing the cable pattern from Stitchnbitch, it is a great pattern and quick.

Heh heh - maybe we could leave your house fixings and my house movings and fling ourselves off to visit Cece and Rox for a white christmas?!
That would be the best wouldn't it.

Hope all the renos go well and the weather is cool!!
Greetings from a very cold London! I'm dreaming of a tropical Christmas! I'd love to spend Christmas in a bikini, rather than shivering in front of the fire, but the grass is always greener and all that ;-)
