It's still raining here. Even worse today.
I have a hard time accepting this weather in Sydney. If I were in London (or Melbourne for that matter) I wouldn't even bat an eye-lid. I'd throw on some brightly coloured tights to cheer myself up, grab the umbrella and head out the door. But Sydney? C'mon! Sydney means sunshine!

So there's not much to tell at the moment. PB has been surfing like a maniac, apparently there was the best swell of the season yesterday so we went (along with thousands of other people) to check it out. BB is slowly discovering she has hands. We've even caught her checking them out a few times. She's getting pretty good at pulling on her clothes and smooshing my hair and face. And me? Well, I am teaching myself how to knit. I was very inspired to find out that Jennifer taught herself how to knit from this book, so I'm following suite. I ordered it last week along with some Debbie Bliss yarn and I'm on my way to making my first item – a baby scarf. Little BB certainly doesn't need any help with insulation around the chin and neck area, but I'm working through the book sequentially and this is the first project. So far so good. I'll keep you posted.


I applaud your motivation to learn to knit. I know very basic knitting am very bad and admire anyone who can master this crazy skill! And what a lovely craft to do whilst it's raining! happy knitting and i look forward to the progress...xx
