No black holes, only that I got a job (a miraculous occurrence if you know anything about me and interviews) in October and haven’t been heard of since.

Time is precious, the last three months have wooshed by and there is little enough time to make things now, without stopping to write it down and take pictures.

I just about managed to finish the Christmas knitting. There were Vikings, Lego man gloves, Red Riding Hood/wolf costumes and I got them done in time, the people with birthdays in December and January were probably breathing a sigh of relief that they didn’t have to work out how to be polite about being given knitting again.

Now it is half term and I have almost found the bottom of the washing basket.

Christmas didn’t really count as a break because it had Christmas in it and was still busy although we managed not to have flu this year which is always nice.

We are decorating Small’s room at the moment, he wanted it red and orange.

We compromised, I said he could have one wall red and one wall orange if the rest were a very light colour.

At the last minute he decided to have red and blue instead and we found some blackboard paint which gave us an idea to make the blue wall more interesting.I think I’ve earned a cup of tea now.
