I decided to take the bag Donni made me a long while ago to SNB on Saturday, as I was only going for a while and meeting up with DH and going to Sydney on the bike. (Leaving mine at home and going on his), I didn't want to be carrying too much. I had the other bike seat and sissy bar in my car boot, (the seat used most of the time is not that good for a pillion). I had my leather jacket, helmet and boots along with a bag with an extra long sleeve t-shirt, bandana etc. Off I go to SNB and then he rings and says the other guys wife isn't going did I still want to go. He and another guy were working out the run for our Midnight to Dawn ride on 8 March, we start the ride at midnight, ride all night with a couple of stops for drinks etc, then we will watch sunrise from Stanwell tops then ride down to Wollongong for breakfast opposite the harbour, then home for some much needed sleep, it is always a great, fun night. (I have been know to be seen sleeping beside my bike in a carpark at some of the stops). NO, NO, NO, I will stay at SNB, much more fun as I had been riding on friday night, and was going to have a LOH ride today, too much riding in one weekend, especially when SNB is on.
So back to the bag. I got it off the doorhandle and I found a blue colour baby jumper I obviously had been knitting in Shepherd Pipkin. Just needs the sleeves done then stitch together. When the hell was I knitting this, I just can't remember, but it is almost done none, just need to stitch the sides up and get a couple of buttons and put on.
The other thing I started on Saturday is a top down baby cardigan, very nice, doing that in Panda Crinkles, pink and mauve in colour. Love these quick knits.
Got up early this morning, and went for a ride (LOH - Ladies of Harley), we had a great ride to Mulgoa in western sydney, near the base of the blue mountains, had morning tea there, yummy, I had a creaming soda spider (soft drink with ice cream) and raisin toast. Then we road to Berrima in the southern highlands and had lunch at the pub, they had a pretty good country music two man band out the front playing. Then road home along the tourist road from Bowral to the top of Macquarie Pass then down the mountain and soon home.
When we got home we got stuck into mowing the lawn then DH help #1 son with his car, by this time it was nearly 8pm. Pizza for dinner, I get a bit lazy after a pretty full on weekend. Nearly ready for bed.

I lost my sunnies for two weeks and had to use my second best pair. I only found them when it was time to go to The Knitting Coven and there they were in the bag with my Coven Knitting(something easy so I can knit, talk, eat, drink etc!!)
Sounds like a busy weekend. I'm a little scared to look down the bottom of one of my knitting boxes. I have a feeling there are a few neglected projects lurking there.
