Wet, wet, wet.

Fortunately not nearly as wet as down South!

Yesterday was gorgeously sunny!

And yet, during the 2 hours of Wednesday crafters it turned to rain and fog:

We did have a lovely Tuesday arvo too.  I even sat outside for a bit.

Peter, he who had a giant cake last year, has been busy:

This man's talent is amazing.

Whereas I have been busy knitting.

Complete!

I initially was intending this for the Community Group baby kits but he's as big as a baby.  So, instead at the Easter sale he's going on a stall with "guess the koala's name" and the money will be split between the tapestry group and the community group.

I've also knit Jo another pair of socks:

He mentioned how I have quite a few pairs and that his shop bought ones are growing holes.  So now my sock knitting is for him.  Fortunately there's very little difference in our feet so it's not really any extra work.

What else?

I'm helping with records at An Iodhlann, finding pages that are missing and printing them off.

I've also applied to the OU to do an accounting certificate and the first module starts in April.  That is, assuming I get the fee grant from SAAS.  See, in Scotland you can apply once every academic year for financial help towards study.  The two modules will be around £1700; we don't have that spare.  So the SAAS is helping me achieve it.

Anyway, bedtime.

  1. I have to know.... WHAT'S THE KOALA'S NAME???

    Oh, I guess that would be telling.

    Did you ever find your bike part?

  2. Koala's name will be revealed after Easter :)

    Jo hunted down the part from a seller in the Netherlands. It's in Scotland now but struggling to get to the island.
