It arrived on 18 December to the bike shop and I picked it up on Saturday 22 December and rode it home in the rain, it actually poured down with rain. The bike was absolutely filthy when I arrived home. DH and #2 son in the car nice and dry. Although DH did say to #2 son that mum will pull over any moment now and make me ride it home. But no.... I didn't, I rode it home through he rain. It wasn't raining when we left the bike shop, isn't that the way. I haven't taken one photo of it since picking it up. We have ridden a couple of times and it has 510klms on the clock. I need another 10,090 ks till the first service and I can get some loud pipes on it and make it sound like a harley. It has the looks but is definitely doesn't have the sound. It can walk the walk but it can't talk the talk yet. It is amazing to ride, so quick. Have to be a bit careful as it is double demerits until midnight on 1 January '08... bugger.
We had a great christmas, family all over at our place since mid morning till the evening. I hope you all had a great christmas too.
I have some wonderful news that I have been busting to tell. I am going to be a grandma or nana (haven't decide which yet - but am leaning towards gran). Our first grandchild is due early August 2008. And yes I have been picking out some baby things to knit, I have to finish some socks first, then I am going to start a nice circular shawl when the wool arrives in February at CRK Daisy Design in Fairy Meadow. I have plenty of knitting to keep me more than busy in the meantime.
That goal of knitting all the yarn I had in 2007, well I did manage to knit a lot of it, but I did get some more throughout the year, but not much, only about 30 balls of yarn in different colours (10 balls of each) for some knitting for me. So I will be continuing that goal through 2008 to knit everyone bit of yarn I have before buying more, well except for baby yarn.

Glad news alright I think you suit either nanna or gran.

Drove down Balgownie Road on Sat and guess who I saw sitting on this big bike with everyone around her. I bipped a couple of times but you were toooo interested in this bike. Hope you get a lot of enjoyment out of it you looked great on it.
Congratulations again on grand child, wish mine would give me one, all I've got so far is a dog. He knows me as nanna though.
