Eight days to go until the Closing Ceremony and I can't believe how much rain has fallen. After all we are in the desert... we're only meant to have half an inch of rain this month according to the averages. We had that alone on the 1st & 2nd December! The forecast for the next week is looking much the same. Hopefully it will clear up by the end of the week!
Life is trundling along. The usual work, with reduced hours for the next few days before we do it all over again. There have been some lovely gatherings which have meant better quality sleep but less of it. Can't win them all eh?
My copy of the Stardust audio book (narrated by the author and unabridged) arrived the day before yesterday which was wonderful. I love hearing authors read their own work because you get to hear their inflections on their words. I guess I imagine it's like hearing how it should go in their mind. Love it! Nick's copy of Fragile Things arrived with it but I haven't managed to catch him to give it to him. Belated birthday/early Christmas pressie.
Nothing is new aside from that! Getting ready to start knitting again. After all the weather is perfect for it. Planning to make Lisa a pair of socks. Hopefully that will go faster than the pair I'm making for Mum. (One sock's complete though Mum, I'm getting there!).
Okay going to go be productive now. Or dance in the rain. It's hard to tell...

Making Lisa a pair of socks? Is now a good time to ask what happened to my going away present? ;) I ended up not being away for so long after all, but there was a suspicious little rumour going around that you planned to blame the non arrival of said present on the Indonesian postal service (a sneaky, and completely workable plan!). Any truth to that? Hmmm???? :)
I should probably clarify that this is Lisa from work Lisa.
Lisa in France has a knitted beret that I'm relatively sure is tucked away in Gallus Close *sigh*. I did not go well with the posting of stuff.
Interestingly when Nick came to Doha he came bearing gifts from home. One of these items was the pressie that I made for you Nomi. I did think that I asked to have it posted but somehow it's with me here in Doha. No blaming on Indo's postal system. I'm just don't trust the Doha system enough to post it from here now! I should be back before you leave again though... *sigh* :)
Wow, that was almost a post in itself...
Well what a good thing it didn't get sent, as I may not have been there. Now it has the opportunity to travel Europe! Yay!
It's the thought that counts, and I truly appreciate the thought... just not the agonising impatiet wait to see what it is!!!!!
