Made it!

I'm enjoying a little mindless surfing and blogging, after pulling the two longest working days ever. Started on Tuesday morning with the realisation I had LOST ALL MY WORK FROM MONDAY, interrupted by a bikeride to the pool to cool down and regroup and an unexpected visit to the hospital, but then solid work until about 1.30 AM. Again yesterday, started after dropping the kids of, at 8.45, and finished at 2.30 AM. Let me tell you, I'm not going to do that again. I did a bit of a twirl in my office chair when I pressed the Send button...

I love my job, but when something goes wrong computer-wise, the fact that it's your own business and you work from home can really come back and bit you in the bum. O yeah, and having a memory stick, but not saving your stuff on it... :(


I finished the last row of Mystic Light clue 2 (here's the right half on the photo) this morning, printed out clue 3 and tonight, after a loooooooooooooong bath, I am just going to sit on the sofa and knit. O yeah. And watch some of the shows I missed (luckily we have Tevo/UPC On Demand with DVD recorder, so I've got some stash...). If anyone tells me who left the Apprentice, I am going to be seriously pissed off though... ;)

Hannah is a bit better. How do you dress a child with a cast from fingers to armpit? A real problem! Just moving her arm the tiniest bit, hurts. I'm going to rummage round in her wardrobe and see if she's got any bigger sizes (we love sharing clothes a lot here) that might fit over her cast.

Zo he, dat was hard werken zo te lezen. Knap van je. Kon je je wel goed concentreren? het vreugde rondje kan ik me dan voorstellen!

Heb je al de uitslag van H's foto's of het echt gebroken is? Dikke knuf.

Je Mystic light wordt wel mooi zeg!
Het patroon is nog niet zo groot als ik had verwacht, trouwens. Maar mooi wordt het wel!

Ik zal niets verklappen.
Voelt Hannah zich al weer wat beter?

Skew you too!

A while ago, on the Dutch RAK group at Ravelry, one of our members asked for some assistance with some sock knitting. She said she'd love to have homeknit socks, but had never managed to knit a pair herself. So, Aal and I came to the rescue. Within 3 days of sending off the yarn, she had her first pair of socks back from Aal. That woman is so amazingly fast!!! My socks took a bit longer, mainly because I had to rip back a few times.  Knitting late at night, having to calculate while knitting, bad lightling... etc... But, eventually, they did get done!!! I suggested knitting her some Skew socks, as with the self-striping yarn she sent me, I thought the effect would be super cool. And it turned out great, even though I was a bit miffed to see that the colour depth was not the same throughout the ball of yarn. Luckily this only becomes really apparent in the leg part, which most people have under their trousers ;) A few pictures of the socks still here... See the difference?

Back from our holiday to Norn Iron

We're still buzzing, people. Totally loved it! It was mint! After what had felt like way too long we finally were able to hug our friends Damien, Katrina, Mark, Orla, and Alistair, have granny Mary-Ann spoil the kids rotten, and just enjoy being 'back'. Because that is how it felt. We stayed in a beautiful apartment in Portrush, with enough bedrooms to accommodate us and granny Mary-Ann, a massive kitchen where I actually cooked as well, next to a train stop, which made travelling a breeze, and five minutes from the West Strand. Heaven! We went to the Giant's Causeway, explored Portrush, enjoyed the beach and many of the cafés and playgrounds around town, and travelled to Coleraine and Portstewart. The kids absolutely loved it, and we were all in tears when the plane took off and we flew home again... But, we're making plans to relocate! The feeling had been nagging for a while, but we're sure about it now. Coleraine it will be! It's all sooo exciting, b

Our third day in Shetland, and a very special one. Not only my wee boy Samuel celebrated his birthday - he turned 6 - but Monique as well. So while I phoned home early in the morning to sing Happy Birthday to my son, Monique had her own choir on the phone ;) After a quick breakfast, we set out for Lerwick, and on the way there we decided to go for a walk along the beach first, before venturing into town. Wearing my Shetland hat, which became a very welcome, warm and trusty companion The cemetery at the Knab We drove around Breiwick Bay and parked our car at the Knab, a natural promontory facing Bressay, where there are several relics from WWII and also a huge cemetery, with some amazing and beautiful headstones. Almost a view to die for... The view from the cemetary Although the weather was lovely when we arrived, quickly the wind picked up and it started raining. We ran back to the car and drove back into town. Time for some birthday cake! The Museum was an obvious c
