Clearing away the cobwebs


April knitting wip collageSo… at last post I was feeling a little restless.. well restless is one way to describe events since early February around here (God is it really that long).
Since my last post I have finished up at my old job, started a new course at University, been set and completed 5 pieces of assessment with about double that still to go and even had a try at teaching a few high school science classes.
The new career change still feels a bit odd but I think it is one I may possibly enjoy or at least get into a groove with. Even though I have been flat out busy my days are more enjoyable than they were in my last job… for that matter better than they have been for years.
Somewhere in my mind though I forgot how much time Uni takes though, especially when doing a 150% workload. I just keep telling myself it is only for one year.

Obviously my goals for the past couple of months went out the window with a lot of my free time. Things have been so hectic for myself (and everyone else) that we haven’t even been having our regular monthly get together. Thankfully though that changed yesterday and we were able to get together with our little group again and stitch, knit and chat the day away until the wee hours of the morning ( my poor old body doesn’t cope as well with 2am as it used to).

There hasn’t been a great deal of stitching going on but i have been plodding away with some knitting. A couple of starts and even a finish. Rather than putting them all up individually I thought I’d just share a mosaic.
Over on my Flickr page you’ll also find a few pictures from the Pirates of the Yarribean cruise that a few of us ventured out on in April. Gotta love dressing up like a pirate and wandering through the streets of Melbourne on a Saturday night :P

Biggest news though would be that I have tickets booked to France in December!!! 4 Weeks running around France, Sweden and the UK I can’t wait. Need to start collating shops and places to visit and saving my pennies to spend spend spend.
I am going to try and get things back on track here for now. So I guess my only goal for the rest of April is to update more frequently and get some goals set for May.
My poor blog is looking a bit dusty and run down.
Think it is about time for a face lift too… but that may have to wait until I have more time on my holidays.

    Welcome back to blog land! Great knitting, glad you’ve had time for some in amongst all that uni work.
    The pirate cruise sounds fun, but I wanted to see a pic of you two in your costumes! :)

    Surely mostly hidden in a pirate costume couldn’t be too bad.
