Spring has Sprung

Boy is it hot today, after the last week of like 1 degrees in the mornings to a top of around 15 and this morning at 6am it as 20 degrees (celsius), heading for 26. So after a quick change after going outside and realising how hot it was I walked down to the local school to vote, we have Local Government (Council) elections today for NSW. It is always a bit of a worrying time when you work for Local Government, wondering who the new councillors will be, in our Council area we have 9 councillors, we will get a few first timers as out of the 9 who were in the last 4 years only 5 have stood for re-election. And with a previous General Manager standing for election well that is just to damn scary. It could be a good thing or it could be a bad thing, depending on how much he will push the line between Councillor and employee which is everyone from the General Manager down. After the 9 councillors are decided then they meet and will elect the Mayor for the next 12 months, and they do that each year for the 4 year term, so it can change each year.

I did get a bit side tracked with the knitting and reading bit, but I have monday off so besides going for lunch with my family I plan to get some reading done as the book is due back at the library on Wednesday. The distraction was 4 pairs of knitted mittens for grand-daughter, as it has been pretty cold here still and the wondersuits with the mittens in the sleeve are getting a bit tight on her little hands.

Last night I managed a few rows on my short sleeve cardigan in the 100% bamboo, it is going to be a long knit to the armholes, well it always seems that way when knitting all in one piece. I haven't bothered with the blanket this week, maybe next week that will get a look in.

My printer isn't playing fair this morning, I am trying to print some baby pictures and it just won't do it. I am going to go out to the garden and take my frustrations out on a few weeds.
