i think it’s probably stubbie’s turn to post. i just haven’t been able to think of anything really exciting, funny or interesting to write about. so i’ll do a list (how i love a list!) of the things that have been preoccupying me the last week or so.
wool: i am feeling particularly pleased today because i won some ebay auctions for fuzzy wool. my current crafty project is a fuzzy afghan, small enough to be used for a baby, but big enough to look good on a single bed, made up of lengthwise rows of granny group crochet (three trebles together). i was inspired by an incredible op shop find of a bag of fuzzy wool in the most luminous, gorgeous colours - purples and reds and a range of blues and greens. but i am running out and the blanket is not even half finished, so i am thrilled that ebay has come to the rescue.
concrete: finally we are going to get rid of the concrete in our back yard! hooray! and for much less than we had anticipated. we got two quotes - the first man was twinkly and smily and very friendly, and quoted us $400 less than the second man who stank of cigarettes and was rude and arrogant. it was an easy choice. now we just have to find someone to build us a deck, and we will finally have a yard that we can invite people to come and hang out in.
factory: the factory across the road has invited us to a community meeting to discuss their environmental and community performance. about time. i don’t expect too much joy though. look out for me in the local papers - both of them will be running articles about the meeting with choice quotes from yours truly.
work: the other day i had a kind of acting for business people training session run by alex papps. that is, frank from home and away fifteen years on. he was good. no, really, he was!
the big one: but of course overshadowing all this is the ivf consent form “excitement”. we will be able to post more on this after the weekend…
