300 and Knitting

I survived a weekend toute seule! It was quite an experience. I saw a few people though so I wasn't a complete and utter hermit.

Yesterday I was taught how to knit by Maggie. Knitting is great. Although it is also quite time consuming, slow-progressing and frustrating. I spent a good couple of hours attempting a scarf and all I had to show for it was a couple of inches worth. I intend to get faster with practise, as at this rate it will take me a decade to finish it.

I also went to see the film '300' last night with Rachel. It has a giant rhinocerous!! And also some elephants that are as large as double decker buses. I'm glad I didn't live in Ancient times if that was the norm. But seriously, it was an excellent film, I love love loved it. It was right up my street! It really reminded me of several David Gemmell books that I have read.

I also forgot that the clocks went forward and didn't show up on time to meet my Dad for lunch, I am such a div. He phoned me wondering where the hell I was at 12:30 and I had only just had breakfast so completely wasn't hungry. Luckily I somehow managed to put away a 4 course lunch including roast beef with yorkshire pudding and sticky toffee pudding, It was a real effort!! Phew.

Nick's in Chongmei, he is heading off down the Yahtzee river on a 3 day cruise and he just emailed me, there is a long update on his myspace you can read if you click here and go to his blog. It is verr verrr good.
