Well I'm no good now, am I

Ho hum...
So the gap is ever-widening.
In my defence, I am a very boring individual and have little to report.
+ New semester of Uni is half done. Am taking a politics unit which feels distinctly un-me. Interesting though.
+ Have an assignment for said pols unit, but finding it more tricky than I should. Will blame virus-brain.
+ Virused for the third time this season. Most displeased. Think maybe a better diet and more exercise is required.
+ have been working on my mad spinning skillz. Actually pretty happy with them. Was lent an Ashford spindle by one of the girls at a spinning afternoon. Much better than my sadly crap ebay spindle.
+ Decided that a spinning wheel is absolutely necessary to my on-going existence. Mister says not til we move out. I am still looking for nooks and crannies around the home in which to hide one.
+ have been doing battle with the bohemoth that is Centrelink. Application was finally approved today. After two and a half months. Now just need to rustle up payslips from the intervening weeks.
+ Am notorious for loosing/ chucking out my pay slips. I have found 4/10. Not happy.
+ After watching Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Mister decided that Centrelink is run by Vogons. Agree entirely. "bring me the request to pursue fugitive form"

That's all. I am off for a nap.

Bad blog keeper!

I know, I know, a bit of self-flagellation is in order. I have been naughtily slack. We all knew I was never going to be the best of blog keepers, but a month is a little inexcusable. Exciting things that happened in said month:

* The boy is back! Thank you K Ruddy and your stimulation package. In a nod to the Aussie economy, I made sure that I purchased a Qantas flight for him, even though it was far from the cheapest. I figured if someone else was footing the bill, I might as well do the right thing by my country. (How uncharacteristically patriotic of me.)

* I finished first semester of Uni. I am yet to sit exams (see point 3), but I feel pretty good about it all.

* I have had a mystery viral disease, which I was marginally worried was H1N1. My worries were unfounded, it wasn't even regular old influenza A. It definitely hit me for six though. As a result, my exams have been deferred for a month.

* My knitting funk is all gone. I am excited to knit again. I went to the World Wide Knit in Public Day last Saturday and got to meet a whole bunch of other Perth knitters who were all super cool. I also woke up at 4 am this morning and was unable to get back to sleep. I spent the majority of the time thinking about knitting. Projects I am working on, projects I'd like to start, techniques I'd like to use.... all those good things. I am pretty excited I must say.

and zat is zat. No pictures or anything cool, we are just working with baby steps here. I am sick after all!
