moving, knitting, working, life is full

Life is full at the moment, we are packing up our home and moving to another home we have bought. We have been packing things for weeks, you feel like it should be all done, but no-where near it yet. We are down sizing aswell, so we have to be brutal with what we are keep and what we chuck out. Yesterday while unpacking a trailer load of boxes into storage for the next couple of weeks, I said to DH, wouldn't it be nice to chuck all this away and get all new stuff. Would save a lot of packing I can tell you. Maybe next year I might start getting some new stuff, one room at a time, now that would be lovely.

I am still knitting the 3x3 moss stitch baby hooded jacket, I am up to the hood, so not much to do now. I have also knitted 2 mens beanies to go to Victorian fire victims.

At my every other tuesday knitting night (this tuesday night yahoo) I will get some royal blue, maroon, and yellow acrylic for a special little fellows blanket. (another fire victim, one we know through blogging). That will be my knitting project while moving. I have packed all my knitting stash, patterns, I have kept my needles though, I can always buy wool - right!

Did I tell you I got a set of Addi Clicks, I started knitting with them the very next night to getting them. They are so nice to knit with. I can see me getting a lot of use from them.

DH, myself and a couple of good friends went for a ride to Katoomba, I love the Blue Mountains. Katoomba has turned pretty hippy since our last visit. We lived there in late 1980 - 1981 while DH worked on the Railways. #1 son celebrated his 1st birthday there. We had lunch at the Paragon Cafe, it is a National Trust site. They have really nice meals and they also are famous for their home made chocolates. They had an easter chocolate of a rabbit on a motorbike. I would have got it but I didn't have anywhere to put it, if I put it down my leather jacket it would have melted. I did tell DH we should drive up there one day or for a weekend.
