Far from wasted

We were supposed to be on a boat on the way to Bilbao right now, but Matt unfortunatley didn't get the time off. The time has been far from wasted though, since it gave us the unexpected opportunity to catch up with James and Lig after not seeing them for far too long and far far too long respectively.

Having some time off this week has also meant that I've had a chance to finish of my European Computer Driving Licence ahead of time. I did two exams today, one of which I was a bit nervous of as it was on Access, a programme I've never used in the real world. Needn't have worried though - I got 97%, hurray! 92% for the other one too, so pretty chuffed all in all. Off now to spend some quality time with the gerbils and the laundry :)

Stitch'n'bitch

Knitting is cool, it's official. Stitch'n'bitch clubs have beeen springing up all over the country over the last couple of years, and now we have one at HCAT. It's a fun way to spend a Friday afternoon and is a really nice mix of newcomers to knitting and old hands. Best of all, it's a good excuse for a thorough gossip. There's even a website http://www.stitchnbitch.co.uk/. It's said that knitting is the new yoga. I wonder if anyone's ended up in casualty after trying to combine the two?

In other news, I'm off work next week with no major plans after Monday (Matt couldn't get the time off to go on our mini-adventure to Bilbao) so if anyone fancies a couple of days by the seaside or has a penchant for watching paint dry (since the decorating is my job for the week if not otherwise rescued) shout.
