Oscar had made it to the grand old age of 15 despite having blood pressure and kidney problems for the past 3 years (I may have previously mentioned that I was going to retrain as a vet in order to go on a cruise!). He was certainly full of character. I am trying to think of a friend who came round who wasn't bitten by him if they ignored him. I always used to say...'don't engage and stroke him because he won't let you stop!' . But it was time to say goodbye.....</div>

Two 12 week old bundles of fluff. They have certainly livened things up. Hilda's neutering wound opened up the day after we got them and so we had to separate them because all she wanted to do was leap around and play fight Stanley. The vet gave her a collar to stop her licking the wound but it was too big. We put a t-shirt sleeve on her to cover it..and she fainted!! Stan had already passed out after his pre-med so we were slightly prepared but it was scary none the less. Only we could have fainting kittens...every moment a dramatic opportunity in this house. She's better now though and they can rough and tumble as much as they like. </div>

I start from the toe so the boys think it is hilarious that they look like knickers to start with...for very small people! Can't quite remember what the yarn is. THINK it might be <a href="http://www.thenaturaldyestudio.com/" target="_blank">NDS</a> bought from my <a href="http://www.sheepshopcambridge.co.uk/" target="_blank">LYS</a>. Really hope I don't get second sock syndrome...these look like they are going to be beautiful. Not sure whether to do a pattern on the leg yet though...will have to look at my books and Ravelry.<br />
<br />
For now.....<br />

Well, I have had several lessons with my Yr3 classes about long term goals and aims. So, I decided it was only right to set myself one and tel them. My thinking behind this was that if I said it out loud, in front of reliable witnesses (they have already asked me several times how I am doing) then I will have to do it.</div>

I got a voucher for Christmas from my parents for <a href="http://www.sheepshopcambridge.co.uk/" target="_blank">The Sheep Shop</a> which is my LYS. So off i trotted, pattern in hand (it's called Chevron Lace Cardigan from <a href="http://www.milobo.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">here</a> ) and I purchased myself some rather lovely Debbie Bliss Cashmerino is a beautiful peacock teal type colour. </div>

Mr C has put some stale fruit bread out for the birds and they were looking for bits under the bird table. Samba would find some, Barley would spot she had it and so she would run off with it. Every time Barley got close she grabbed her prize and ran off again. She must have done several laps of the garden. It is a wonder Barley is as portly as he is.</div>

And I completely forgot to even mention all the snow we have had. Well, not a lot if you live in Canada, but quite a lot for us. No snow day though so all school pupils and teachers in this house (all of us) has to trudge through the snow. Poor Mr C had the furthest to go and his bike has now bitten the dust. Bike no. 3 is now with us.</div>

has not exactly been marvelous. It started well enough. Mr C was back to school today so I got up at 7...I always feel bad if he is leaving to go to work and we are all snoring away. I got some of my granny stripe done....boys woke up and played nicely. I could tell they were playing with Lego because I could hear the rumble of it in the boxes from the back room. Then it was tome fore breakfast...downhill from there really. Mr Chops decided to microwave a roll to warm it up......30 seconds calls me through to the kitchen. I should have checked that he had heard me. About 4 minutes I think.....another 30 secs and the kitchen would have been on fire. The smell was horrendous and is still here over 6 hours later. That would have done for me...can't have too much excitement in one day but no...never leave it there...I decided to wash B's trainers. Walking past the washing machine to light a candle to rid us of the smell of the near housefire......I noticed that foam was pouring out of the washing machine. The light was flashing to say the door was ready to open so I just assumed there was only foam in the drum....NEVER assume.<br />
<br />
<br />
er....brief break as I cold smell burning. I forgot eh lemons I put on to boil...the pan is now black and the kitchen now smells of burn lemons...I a off to cry!</div>

Blogging has gone by the wayside and this is not good. The thing is that I have started to write an actually real paper and pen diary and so this blog has been neglected. I have also been continuing my crochet obsession so there has been no time. <br />
Cue photos of things I have made and remembered to take a picture of...many I have forgotten too :(<br />

I don't know if it is just my ineptitude but I am not liking Blogger at the moment. I don't seem to be able to put 2 pictures next to each other, even if I make the small. I haven't a clue how you make one of those 9 or 12 photo montages. It is just quite frustrating.<br />

I need to add loads of things on the sidebar and change the header but this morning the computer has driven me mad so it is going off for the rest of the day</div>
<div class="blogger-post-footer">Hmmm...blogger does not like me tonight so I have no idea where this will appear!</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16531373732860578008noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34603498.post-86770917701888495662012-09-02T20:08:00.000+01:002012-09-02T20:08:10.457+01:00The Paralympics<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Don't know where to start really...such an amazingly fantastically inspirational day (not to mention that I managed to get the 2 boys, on my own, across London to meet Mr C). We left from here and parked at Snaresbrook to gt the underground into London. Mr C got off at Stratford to collect the tickets and the boys and myself had to get to the Natural History Museum. No problem...you'd think. But, given Mr Chops' propensity for 'quirky' behaviour and my downright worrying bordering on really annoying, I was completely dreading it, not the least because we had to actually change trains. Mr C did say after the even that it had occurred to him that even he hadn't taken both of them across London on his own...did he think that hadn't occurred to me????? I there is something to worry about, I will worry about it...and I wonder where Mr Chops gets it from?!!!!! Mr B takes everything in his stride so that was kind of something less to worry about. But I needn't have. Despite getting on the wrong train, not being able to get tickets at the outset and then not knowing what tickets we needed, Mr Chops came up trumps. While on the wrong train he heard that the next stop could be for people changing to the district line....we duly got off, asked a guard and...hey presto...lots of prayers later we were at the NHM. We even managed to find Mr C, eat at Bella Italia and get the tube tot eh Olympic village. A few minor 'blips' in between but they were of no consequence in the end.<br />
<br />
<br />
We did get seperated at the enterance but Mr B and I forged on through security...stopping to be frisked because I had left my phone in my pocket and then my bags searched where and they discovered a crochet needle...whoops. The security woman thought it didn't pose much of a threat as it was blunt...but I offered to hand it in anyway...unfortunately she wasn't up for any impromptu crafting so let me keep it...I tried!<br />
<br />
A few things struck me about the place. There is absolutely no litter....anywhere. ALL the games makers (these people are heroes) and so helpful and cheerful, even when we were leaving at 10pm and they must have been on the go for hours. The armed police were very discreet and not at all alarming...the last time I encountered armed police was in Chicago airport at 3 in the morning and they did not make me feel at all safe! There was hardly a queue for the toilets....it was not a warm day so I think there would have been had we been drinking loads of water. The food wasn't the cheapest and we couldn't be bothered to queue for Maccy D's...the coffee was vile though!<br />
<br />
BUT we saw Hannah Cockcroft win gold and saw her medal ceremony...very moving. When she was racing we, along with 80,000 other people, were yelling our heads off. The atmosphere, even for athletes who finished way behind everyone else, was wonderful. We weren't there on the day that an athlete got a 7 minute standing ovation while he ran the rest of the race to the finish ion his own but we were there to see David Weir win his heat...the noise was mind blowing. One of the athletes in this heat was about 300m behind everyone else and the cheer to the finish line for him followed him all round the stadium.<br />
<br />
Last summer, during the riots, I was utterly ashamed of my country and the people that behaved like that. they made us look bad to the rest of the world. This year, I couldn't have been prouder. Disability or not, it didn't matter, we were there to support the athletes and that is what we did...in style and with bells on. It is so hard not to sound patronising, and I don't want to, but the athletes competing were truly inspiring. The things that many, if not all, of them had overcome to get too where they were, would be to many of us, insurmountable. If I had had my legs blown off either fighting for someone else's war or simply sitting on the tube, I really can't see that I would have to drive to turn it into something positive. If I was born blind, the last thing I would want to do would be to run as fast as I possibly could in some direction trusting someone else. <br />
<br />
And it inspired my children too...they saw that whatever circumstances you are in, you can be awesome :)<br />

Well, I hope it does because there are many thousands that have not been written here over the last few weeks. A completely hectic end of term that involved the summer garden party, jubilee celebrations, school Olympics, new school open evening, various other PTA commitments...and a hundred and one other things that I can't remember. Plus, I developed tenosynovytus (SP?) sitting and knitting a bag to be felted one afternoon and then promptly burnt the fingers of my left hand (I am a lefty) the next weekend, so there was a point when I had 2 hands out of action. Plus finishing some things for a wedding commision, a holiday, school holidays and you can quickly see why Mrs Blog has been sadly neglected :( <br />
<br />
Now, if blogger and my computer are going to play nicely I shall upload various photos of things we/I have been going.....<br />

Probably not my finest crafting hours but ours is the only handmade bunting in the street. I have nothing against mass produced plastic...but it's just not for me. Mr C has made a marvellous job of making a 'patchwork' union flag in the upstairs window but I shall have to photograph it tomorrow along with the little felt and ribbon flags I have made to go on the window sill in my milk bottles. I wouldn't say I was a rampant royalist but I think the jubilee should be celebrated and I think the Queen, certainly after standing in the freezing rain for 3 hours yesterday, should be applauded. She certainly can't have an off day like the rest of us and I think she is amazing :) Street party tomorrow as well as.....</div>

Mr Chop's 11th birthday. We had a family <strike>bbq</strike> 'eat indoors' yesterday and he will have to have an extended birthday present giving because a certain internet firm, who has always been fab in the past, have let me down and 'express delivery' does not appear to do what it says on the tin. I made lots of these cakes, while Mr C decorated them....</div>

Here's a better picture of my little creature from 'Crochet Bakemono' (got it in hobby craft). I did change a couple of things but it is essentially the same. Then I got to thinking, 'How difficult can this be?' <br />

So I made this one.....well, here's the start. I actually took the mouth off in the end because it was wonky but not enough to look like it was supposed to be. She also has red arms now to match her bottom. No name yet but I am toying with Phylis...what do you think??</div>

actually cutting table. Made a peg bag today and it is an epic fail...maybe not that bad, but it is not fit for purpose. I know what needs sorting and I shall get onto it forthwith so I can make some to sell :) After I have used the first one though as it was made out of 'need' :) It's not even big enough anyway! But as a bonus, the fabric, LUSH corduroy, is from the charity shop :)<br />

I love love love it...and thankfully the birthday girl liked it too...so that's good. I am a bit of a yarn snob, but Justine, from<a href="http://emmabearforever.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank"> EmmaBearForever</a>, said that Stylecraft Special DK was really soft so I gave it a go...and she was right ...really soft and a lovely drap for the blanket I am making for MrB.
