Well this is highly unusual!! All alone on a Saturday morning..... We have Amy and Mark down this weekend - she drove all the way down so Jay could help her with her broken exhaust - we could hear her car from about a mile away!!!! It is so lovely to have them here - we had one of Jay's home made curries last night which is always yummy, and always a request from Mark as he adores them. Right in the middle of cooking the poppadums we had a power cut - which is no fun being in pitch black with a frying pan full of hot oil!! fortunately it came back on after about 5 minutes - I really must make sure the torches and candles are out and handy now. We do have these black outs every now and then - generally when the weather is a bit iffy, we had torrential rain yesterday evening - so I think everything must have got a bit damp!!!!
Danielle is now the proud owner of a little Ford KA - it is an "R" reg and is a little cracker for what she paid for it. Jason is rolling up his sleeves to do the essentials - its wonderful having a mechanic in the house. I asked him if he ever got fed up with it - he never seems to escape the engines and muck - he just grinned and said - its what I do - and what I love. Bless him!!
We had a busy day in work yesterday - lots of fund raising for Children in Need - we did cake sales and all sorts of games and quizzes. The best had to be one of our managers who let us shave his head into a monk style haircut - he donned a monks outfit and then went to the pub for lunch - a good sport!!! He raised over 600.00 for that - not bad huh?
Well I think I will stop now - did I mention I am knitting a scarf for myself?
Not sure how it will turn out though - I am not a spractical as my big sister - what started as a 40 stich cast on now only seems to be 38 on the needles - not sure where I lost the other two..................
Catch you all soon - does anyone else read this do you think Libby?

I love the fact that your knitting again, gosh! such a long time since you did that!!! Don't worry about the stitches, they will probably appear again before the end of the scarf!!!!!
Kathryn reads your blog, she just can't leave a comment! When we are next both by the comp I'll take you through how to change the setting!!
Love Ya!!!!
