New hobbies


I want to keep busy.
So I'm going to make one of these, similar colours and wool too.
Must learn to knit, well I can knit but I don't know how to cast on or off, which is a pretty important part of it. Starting and stopping. 2009 is the year to learn stuff-practical stuff I can use, not academic stuff I'll just forget. I really fancy German language, textiles and cooking. So I'll keep a track of how I'm doing on here. When I'm finished my new scarf I'll show you. It'll probably be finished some time in July knowing the speed I work at!

I'm going to make it happen

I met a lady today who is going to help me improve my German-did I mention I was trying to learn it? She seems sehr nett and very organised so I think this will work out quite well. It will be nice to speak freely with someone, not worrying about mistakes and practising speaking and listening with someone who knows what I need to learn. Yes this is a good way to learn, all she wants from me is some correction on her (flawless) English and some pointers on colloquial phrases. Ohhh, I could crush a grape! I don't think she will want to know that one!
Work was boring but I'm making alot of headway on my 'spelling mistakes' document, it's about 3 pages long now-I'll publish the best bits one day but for the time being it's just something that makes the day go by a little quicker. Speaking of work I have all but stopped looking for something permanent-it just doesn't seem urgent enough while I'm temping esp in a place where I like it as much as I do, I think it's best to hang around and see if anything comes up there that I can do-I need to start thinking about all of this seriously soon but what I can do is so specified and opportunities don't come up all that often-I'll stop there this is turning into a whinge.
On the up side; just one more year, earning and saving and learning then I get to go and make a new start. I can hardly wait, it is what I want if not what I need and the wheel's are in motion.

I love it when a plan comes together.
