Oh my goodness! It's been nearly four weeks since I last wrote! Where has the time gone? It's not as if I have been away from the computer at all. After all, I have to scan my work reports every time I work (two to three days a week), I still play games and I have been adding to Mice for Mama. For some reason however, I never got around to actually blogging.
So, first let's catch up a bit. Yes, I have been working a bit. Albeit only two to three days a week. Sometimes those days will go up to about 10 hours and with three of those, that can add up. Next week I am on the list for only two days, but I hope to get at least one if not two more.
There is some news on the job front though. I recently dropped off my cv at the local public transport company, knowing they were looking for people. A couple of days later I was called by somebody who asked me to submit my cv again as they were indeed looking for people. It looks promising, but fingers crossed of course.
I have been knitting and sewing a bit. Well, a lot really as I don't work that much and even when at work, I can take stuff with me. I have added some Norwegian inspired work, including some of my own. That is to say: the patterns for the individual parts were there, just not the combined bit I went for. If they work, they look great! Albeit very very fiddly at times.
I have been looking forward to three things a lot. Firstly, my Mum and I will make our way to see 'We Will Rock You' tonight. It is a try-out, but it is with Anastacia and we think it's going to be great. Secondly, my friend Pepperfly and I will go to the Eurovision Party in two weeks. It's not the official Song Contest, but there will be lots of old winners, some recent 'I loved that song, why didn't that one win' and some Dutch favourites.
Thirdly of course is my holiday in Northern Ireland at the end of the month. I will be spending Christmas and New Year's at my sister's. We will do nothing, we will go see a Panto in Belfast and if the weather is good, we might finish our drive that we started two years ago! Plus there might be other stuff.
So, that's me caught up. Now, where was that knitting book again...
Glad you checked in.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to hear you've been keeping busy. That phone case is very cute.
ReplyDeleteHari OM
ReplyDeleteHaving been seeing MfM showing up, I admit I kinda didn't notice the gap this side! Good to hear the work is there to keep things turning and that you are finding fun things to do too. Golly, though, the days are racing by... YAM xx
Isn't it amazing? It seems only a short time ago that I was still in Northern Ireland, working and living and now I have been here already close to a year.
DeleteGlad to hear you're doing well!
ReplyDeleteYou have much to look forward to. I love the musical 'We will rock you'. Have seen it 3 times! Good luck with your latest job application.
ReplyDeleteI loved it as well and wouldn't mind seeing it again. But I have several other things coming up and can only spend the money once. Unless I figure out some creative banking...
DeleteWhen I saw the guinea pigs I thought Oswin is feeling lonely and you bought it for her lol !
ReplyDeleteThat's nice to go to Ireland for Christmas, I don't know what we are doing, certainly not going to Amsterdam with my son's house full of steps impossible for my husband !
Great to see you back on the blog. I understand long lapses. Life can certainly get in the way. I like the phone cozy! It is getting close to the Feast of St. Nicholas in Europe, isn't it? Hope you get goodies fit for a Mara.
ReplyDeleteI already got some in my shoes a few days ago. Yum!
DeleteHow exciting to spend Christmas with your sister. Have a wonderful time. Crossing my fingers on getting that job. The items you recently posted are so cute.
