A knitting we will go.....

A whole week since I posted! I thought i had better show you an update of the knitting - as you can see the back is coming along quite nicely. I have one one iteration of the pattern at the top and I am on the second iteration now. Not that much to go.
Here is a close up of the pattern so you can see roughly what it looks like. It is a little dark - sorry! It will be easier to show you when I have the back finished.

It has been quite a week. On Tuesday I was on my way to get a blood test (7 days past ovulation) and my car (yes my new car), broke down. I ended up sitting in it crying, waiting for RACV. Ayway, it had to be towed, and the problem was a major one (of course!) so I was without my car until later in the day Wednesday. $915 later, I was finally on my way to getting that blood test.

I started the global corporate challenge - the walking challenge. I wear a pedometer daily for the next six months and every day I record how many steps I did that day - it translates that to a global position on a world map. It is pretty cool. I am definately getting more walking activity that I was before. The dogs are loving the extra walks too.

I am also feeling a little delicate at the moment. I am 11 days past ovulation and waiting for my period to arrive (as I am sure it will). I knew I was a little emotional but didn't realise how much until my sister called and said my niece was visiting and would I like to come over. Instantly I knew I didn't want to see anyone and even felt compelled to add that I really didn't feel like seeing anyone today, and asked my sister to disuade them from popping over.

I just feel like curling up somewhere and hiding for a bit. Small things make me cry at the drop of a hat - bloody hormones. It is all because I had a hcg booster shot on Thursday.

Of course, when I am like this I react by cooking, and this weekend will not be any different. I am planning on making a batch of cheesy cauliflower and mustard soup, cooking up the dogs food for the next fortnight, and the weirdest thing of all - I have begun a mix of honey icecream. It is now chilling and I will blend it up tomorrow for dessert.

I think that is the weirdest of all - I mean have you seen the weather around here lately? I could practically stick the icecream mix outside and it would freeze by itself!

oh well - time for a cuppa I think, then few more rows of the jumper before I start dinner (marinated pork mini roasts and veggies tonight).

My love to all.
