Friday Fill-In

It's been a while... This week's Friday Fill In:

1. I know where I’m going, and I know who’s going with me; I know who I love but the Dear Lord knows who I’ll marry.

2. February is not the longest month. (but perhaps it has other values)

3. You can't help but sing, sing, sing!

4. It's nearly the weekend; bring it on!

5. Where have you looked, for that is clearly where it is not hidden.

6. Saffy's brain is now available. (It's been missing for some time but has crawled out from under whichever rock it was hiding with and is beginning to resemble its old self... maybe)

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to going to bed before midnight (I hope), tomorrow my plans include knitting at the Sultan and Sunday, I want to feel like I've had a weekend and like I'm ready to really work a proper week - no excuses!

Friday Fill-In

This week's Friday Fill In:

1. It was a dark and stormy night, and so began yet another teenage vampire novel.

2. Lizi couldn't face the woman at the Library, so I offered to take the books myself. I've just remembered the library exists... is this good or bad? PS - I don't think this has actually happened, I have taken them back when she's been too busy though.

3. Rushing out, rushing round, silently panicing... it doesn't feel like this is the end of half-term. (For many people half-term is busy and stressful because the kids are at home. For me, without kids, half-term is usually a relaxing week with lots of time because there's no guiding in the evenings. Sadly, it's the end of half term and I'm not actually feeling that relaxed yet.)

4. Noisy teenagers ...I think I heard a howl!

5. Shhhh... I'm trying to pretend I'm asleep.

6. This weekend, give me something good to eat!

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to sleeping, tomorrow my plans include knitting, I'd love to near the end of this sock, and Sunday, I want to feel like I really did have a weekend this time!

Friday Fill-In

This week's Friday Fill In:

1. So are we going home soon? This is less of an issue than it felt like earlier this week. It was a crazy stessed worky week at the start but it's been more managable yesterday and today. Perhaps just because I've given up :)

2.The weekend is what's up ahead.

3. I love to have time to knit and feel like I'm making progress.

4. I have done some work today... of some sort - honest.

5. I walk a bit and I call it excerise - I really should make more effort.

6. Cuddles are the true elixir of life!

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to crossing a few things off the todo list so I can justify spending the rest of the weekend slacking, tomorrow my plans include knitting with the Lancaster KnitCafe folk and Sunday, I want to not have to pack wildly and frantically for my trip to Pittsburgh!

Friday Fill-In

This week's Friday Fill In:

1. I feel tired, fed up and altogether ready for a weekend.

2. Being with Hobnob is always fun.

3. Right now, I can hear these things: mice clicking, keyboards tapping, doors creaking, doors shutting, footsteps past my door.

4. I can't believe how gorgeous I look in a wedding dress (they must have some magic powers I'd never realised before) and I'm glad of that, and also that I managed to think of something other than a grump about my PdD :)

5. The last time I felt like I was being productive at work/study was when I was not here. *sigh - I don't want to be not here but I do want to feel useful*

6. We don't get Monday off for this Labour day weekend (or indeed any Labour day weekend, this being the UK).

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to just being at home, tomorrow my plans include watching the weekend fly by too quickly and Sunday, I want to find that I do get some time for me and for house organising despite the Guideyness!

4. Yesterday was better to be honest with you.

5. Appearances can be deceiving - a traditional saying and yet so often true of so many things.

6. The last person I gave a hug to was Hobnob.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to not trying to pitch tents in the hail, tomorrow my plans include perhaps some knitting, tidying and maybe even a walk and Sunday, I want to feel like I've enjoyed the weekend and rejoice in the extra day I'll still have to go!

Friday Fill-In

This week's Friday Fill In:

1. The last thing I ate was a breakfast crepe (sausage, egg and cheese) and side salad.

2.Yarn is something I recently bought. (Actually, I've not bought any this week - but I can't think what I may have bought since)

2.Django was the last website I was at before coming here (and before that it was Ravelry... you'd never know I was working).

3. Why don't you treat yourself this weekend? I'm not sure what to, but you'll find something - maybe I will too!

4. Knitting helps me relax (but only when it's not bringing stress of its own, in those cases reading is a better bet).

5. Thanks for the comments, they're always lovely.

6.People hovering around you as you are very off-putting. I always assume they're going to judge the way I'm doing whatever it is.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to finishing up another glove and planning my tomorrow, tomorrow my plans include some sort of adventure, who knows where to and Sunday, I want to have made it to 50 geocaches... 6 more to go!

Friday Fill In
