Didn’t actually mean to be away for two nights, but as has been noted in many places, it was a bit windy yesterday. Around mid afternoon, someone suggested we take a look at the travel sites, and it became rapidly apparent that if I wanted to go home, setting off much earlier would have been better 🙁 Accordingly, we went back off the path, where we’d been the night before.

This means that I’ve started another crochet project, as I didn’t want to take the beaded wrap with me (partly because of the beads, and partly because of the cats 😉 ). I now have on the hook a shrug type thing as well, in very chunky yarn. Worry not, though Kirsty, I’ve added another 3% to my beaded total tonight 🙂

Lovely to unexpectedly spend an extra evening with J & J – we had a takeout and a beer, and chats and so on. Some of them were a bit disrupted by a very unhappy small j, who was itchy. Journey home this morning was still slower than it could have been, but bearable. I’ve got rather a lot of work to do this weekend though, so my previous attempts at keeping the laptop off Sat/Sun are likely to be shot down.

And now I must go get fish and chips 🙂
