Thirty Something Hobbies

Goodness - 2 posts in 2 days!! how long I'll keep this up I don't know but here I am with some knitting progress, I'm on gloves for me!! I have to admit I'm a selfish knitter and like it best when it's a project for me and these gloves are going very well - they're to match the hat I did a while ago and wear a lot, I did photo it to post however Paul's not here so I plonked it on the nearest thing that it'd fit over which happened to be a small chocolate fondue pot??? needless to say it looked decidedly odd when I uploaded it so I'll wait until Paul's back to photo. me with the hat and gloves in the right places.

Tomorrow my plan is to go and buy The Tree - normally we do this together but as Paul's not here and I'm at work all weekend next week I'm going to get it on my own (hoping there's a nice man to help me fit it in the car - and there's the thing - fit it in, without the voice of reason from my more 'anal' other half (he likes straight lines and matching things) we just know I'm going to come back with a tree that's far too big but heyho that's just far more fun! I've warned him I won't be able to resist and I have far more decorations than I can usually fit on so the only problem should be bending the top over to hang the star from (as opposed to balancing it on the top) and squeezing it up the corner so we can still light the fire without lighting the tree!!!

Then of course I'll have to wait until he come's home to help get it out of the car and erect it in the very straight manner he likes, unless, as I've done before - impatience gets the better of me and I attempt to manhandle it all by myself into the living room leaving a trail of destruction in my path.....
