A good weekend

Mainly because I had a visit from ninox and a_pawson - which meant I had to be social (and surprisingly enough I enjoyed that) . It was great to meet a_pawson at last, having heard so much about him
I was espeically pleased that ninox loved Leeds' Victorian architecture as much as I do - there don't seem to be many of us who do. It was so great to see them, and I hope we can get together more often. 
I am so impressed that ninox is going to Aber again this week, as I am still so far behind with my module. Maybe this will be the kick I need (not that I got much done this weekend, but never mind)

Also the holiday plans are finally taking shape. Hotels and buses are booked (Megabus again), and Morrisons very kindly provided me with a bogof voucher for Thorpe Park, and one that we might use to go to Warwick Castle. Final hotel details will be worked out at knitting tomorrow.

I have started the looking after myself regime and made good progress on the Knit and Purl cats for Mum. Also managed to eat quite healthily for once, despite having all you can eat Chinese for lunch. 

All in all I am quite happy with my weekend - which in itself made a nice change.

Knitting magazine rant

So the autumn issues of the knitting magazines are now out. 

Yay! I thought, until I actually looked at them  - they are awful, truly awful! I think I liked maybe one thing in each magazine (and no way am I spending that much for one pattern). I just don't understand it, this is the season for knitted goodies - so why aren't there any?
