I have finished a Black Cable Jacket which I've been knitting for Emily but I can't put a photo on here yet because she hasn't seen it yet. It was a devil to knit as the cables don't show up on the black yarn.
I've used Sirdar "Click" Chunky which knits up beautifully. Hopefully she will get lots of wear out of it in North Wales. She went back to Bangor at the end of September and will be working (and playing) hard until Christmas when she's coming home for a couple of weeks.

Forever is a long time
I know I haven't been a good blogger this year, but I discovered Ravelry and it is addictive!!!!
Since February nothing has changed much. I have a few FO's which I have forgotten to photograph and a few that I have photographed, but not loaded onto the computer.
Emily has finished her first year at Uni in BAngor and is now home for the summer holidays. She has looked for work, but has been unsuccessful in finding a "proper" job so has put leaflets through doors offering to do housework, gardening, pet-sitting and various other jobs. So far she has managed to get a few hours per week. She has also started delivering Kleeneze catalogues which currently makes her a few extra pounds. I have to admire her efforts, and wish that the rewards were somehow more equal to the effort which she is exerting. This week she put out, and collected 200 catalogues and her reward was not one single order!!!! She is getting a bit despondant and I'm not surprised.
Charlie has two days left at her Primary school and is looking forward to leaving. She has not been 100% happy at school and we are hoping that High School will be better. On Friday she had her leaver's ball, which was a glorified disco. The parents of another girl had arranged a 20 seater Pink Hummer Lomo to take the girls to the ball, but it arrived an hour late so the girls missed out on their drive around the local area. The company has offered to take them out again tomorrow after school so they are being collected from school and taken for a drive.
Tonight we went to see the year 6 end of trem production of The Wizard of Oz. It was a great show and I was very proud of my "little girl" when she danced on stage as a milkmaid.
Last weekend we went to Cirencester to visit my sister. While there we enjoyed a day out at the Open air swimming pool. If you live near Cirencester and have never been it is a real gem of a place. Take a look at their website

Snowed in
It all started on Sunday night.
By Monday morning it was about 20cm deep
The first one out the door.
Fun and games!
Much more and the wheelie bins will disappear.
Stuck at home as the car has broken down.
A team of neighbours dig a path out of the close.
Time for everyone to enjoy the snow.
