Sue Gillman's Blog
I can't believe I have another cold[or flu?]!!! My sick leave at work has reached astronomical proportions and I am very nervous about it. However, in the meantime another days work another days pay and I hope I can keep going!
I had a lovely day yesterday with my very big son. I wasn't sick then. We went to Spotlight my favourite place on earth for yarn. I bought ten balls for ten dollars and we tried on these silly masks and took photos of each other. Yes I know the rule is don't touch if you're not going to buy but it was hysterical. So lovely to have fun with a grown up son. I then went to dinner with a dear friend and sneezed y way through her lovely dinner. there was a progamme on TV Midsommer Mysteries and the woman who got murdered had my maiden name. Nothing like watching yourself as the centre of a muder mystery! Unfortunately I had to go home before I found out who did it! Darn!
I am posting off a box full as only one of my smaller parcels has shown up in the count. Maybe the others are taking longer to get there. Anyway it is fun to load up a box. A couple of Go Overs were hanging around and a vest so I could get them away too.
Catch up with your guys and gals later. I haven't seen much of Robert lately?

Yes Bev I looove spotlight !! It is my weekend treat to sneak off there for a peek !! The staff all greet me like a personal friend ! One of our branches closed down and a huge new one opened a couple of k's away. It has so much yarn! I agree their sales are great and of course the grand opening sale was fantastic. I expect there will be another sale at Queen's Birthday . I do hope that they one day step up for KAS and do some posting !

Oh, if only I had a store that close! Unfortunately my nearest Spotlight is about an hour away, but when I can get there I sure make up for lost time...lol.
I, too, have often wondered if they would come to the party with postage, but I think it was Sandy who mentioned ages ago that Spotlight supports Save the Children in getting their blankets/squares to the appropriate places. Still, we can live in hope!
Well I am up early today (3.30 am) for a Sunday, as hubby and youngest son have gone to a motor cycle race day (son is competing) in another town about an hour away. I best make the most of it....with a bit of knitting.
Its a bit rainy this weekend so will have to get on and finish my washing too so that it gets dry. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Love reading your blog. :)

Well I don'tknow how to make an entry after Bev's without a reply button at the end so I am replying to my own ! Bev you are amzing 3.30 am and still wide awake enough to knit ! I hope your son did well and that they had a good day together.
I have been rummaging around my yarn cupboard today and found some variegated yearn I never liked much liked but it is knitting up quite nicely in a garter stitch square. I tried it out in all sorts of ways and stitches. It is obviously destined to be a plain jane in pink blue and white.
I also at last took up the hems on two pairs of pants and shortened the sleeves on a wet weather jacket. It is a year since I bought it ! I also made my lunches for the next three days. I feel very well organised -not a typical state for me !
Happy knitting and crocheting everyone !

Hi Sue
Gotta 'fess up. After getting off the net I thought I would just lay on the sofa for a few minutes and the next thing I knew it was nearly eight oclock!! I must have been tired!! And usually someone is up wanting something. After I got my middle son some coffee and toast I knitted for a while and got half way up the back of a jumper for KAS.
Well best go and do some ironing before work...I envy you being organised.
Have a great week...and Happy knitting!!
