Real Broadband
Finally have ADSL. Amazing what happens when you go to cancel a Service (wireless).
Suddenly after two years of asking , it becomes possible in four days for the Telco to fiddle with the lines and make broadband possible through the landline.
I have achieved something (see below, well maybe not -Error on page). But the new job has been such information overload and so out of my comfort zone , that when I get home it's hard to do anything except vegetate.
Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas , ours was quiet, but I am enjoying the break, and getting all the errands done, that have built up. Don't go back till the 2/1, not bad for a new job.
Besides the blue socks (missing pic), I cast on the second ugly sock, just have to remember how I did it, as I sort of made it up as I went along. Another baby boy has arrived, so I will have to knit some little shoes quickly. Succumbed the other day and went to Spotlight, I was very good though, only bought 2 balls of yarn at 99c each.

Distracted
Into the third week of training and it's been a bit mind numbing being in a classroom environment. The last few weeks with end of year parties , dance concerts etc, I haven't really been in the mood to knit. Half way through the second blue sock.
A definite highlight was going to the Billy Elliot musical last Saturday, it was fantastic, so if you get a chance to go DO IT!!!. Take a tissue or two though.
Actually picked up a book on the weekend , Isobelle Carmody's "Obernewytn", a young adult fantasy , easy to read and quite good, now on the second book " the Farseekers "
3 and half days to Christmas New Year break - yay, good timing to start a new job which closes for the week.

First Day at Work
First day at the new job, there is a group of 10 of us, they all seem nice. Less than a 20 minute drive from home. Across the road from Spotlight and the Plaza, boy am I going to have to be strong, especially with a 1 hour lunch break.
I haven't cast on the second ugly sock yet. I have started on some for a baby boy due in the next week or so. Patonyle again, blue sock striping I really like it, I have two balls so might make some for myself.
