Every single day this week, I left work thinking "I'd really like to finish the baby owl vest for my friend's baby before he outgrows it"... and every night this week, something else got in the way...
Whilst this isn't unusual for me, I thought this week, each time I thought "Hmm I'm just not going to get to it", I snapped a picture of what I was doing instead - so here it goes...
Monday night:
French class at the Alliance Francais. I studied French at university for a few years. I was never very proficient but I have been noticing for the last few years that I've nearly forgotten everything I had worked so hard to learn! So when my working arrangements became a little more flexible at the beginning of this year, I signed up for French classes! It's a great way to start the week and it's also a fun way to meet like-minded people... So my Monday night looked like this - not a knitting needle in sight!
Tuesday night:
To be honest, Tuesday night was work, work, work and because a photo of that is not all that fun, I thought I'd substitute with a photo of my favourite thing about work that day - my pretty (but quite painful) red shoes!
Wednesday night:
I did a LOT of running around on Wednesday... I had meetings all afternoon at work, then I raced to the optometrists to pick up some new glasses and finally raced home in the rain (I'd left my umbrella at work!). When I walked in, I noticed that my lovely boyfriend had gotten me a little gift! This little girl - I fell in love INSTANTLY. I'm not sure why she stopped me from doing any knitting that night, but I didn't. Whoops.
Thursday night:
I actually had a work function on Thursday night. A celebratory dinner for the end of a Project I've been working on for the last few months but the photos of the event came out very dark and blurry so instead, I thought I'd insert a photo of my lunch. I'm lucky enough to work right near Darling Harbour and this is my view from the break room:
Friday night:
On most Friday nights, I opt for drinks with colleagues and friends but having just had a big night out on Thursday night for work, this Friday night, I went to the gym for a Pilates Reformer class instead. Then, in an effort to keep with the "healthy" theme, I bought some fresh salmon from the supermarket on the way home and made a delicious dinner. MmmMmmm...
Saturday night:
D had an exam on Saturday morning and afterwards, he really wanted to go see 300 - Rise of an Empire as a bit of a treat. It isn't my type of movie but there were plenty of washboard abs to oogle at. The most amusing part of the movie was actually when I looked over at D and realised that between the two of us, we had 4 pairs of glasses on to watch the 3D movie. HEHEHE
Embarrassingly, when we got home, we both crashed for a very very long nap... And when I got up, I just didn't really have the energy to knit... weird.
Sunday night:
FINALLY, some knitting time. I've set myself up in my living room, with my quilt over my legs on this stormy Sunday night (apparently it's hailing out there). All I need to do is put on the final few touches on this little baby owl vest for my friend's nearly 2 month old... I hope it still fits him!
