Cuteness and other things about today

There's a set back in making the lovely woollen beret from my previous post. I went to Sylph this morning and couldn't find any 50/50 Merino/Silk blends of wool, I'll have to try Spotlight or Lincraft. They'll probably have a larger range anyway, even if some are of lower quality. Sylph wasn't a waste of time though, I did manage to buy some more wool for my light and dark blue many granny square blanket. It's a good travelling project, because I can generally finish a couple on the bus ride to work, whereas the blue and gray blanket needs to have a stitch holder put in it if I want to take it anywhere without loosing stitches.
Mum and I also went to the Farmers Market today. It's a new one, so it's still a bit small but there were about 10 or so stalls there with some nice things. No honey though. I have a weakness for regional honey. When we went to Tassie a couple of years ago there was a honey farm at one stop, complete with a little shop, and the things you could buy there... everything made of honey! There were some good ones when we went to Adelaide too... yum!

Anyway, we bought some spiced gouda, two loaves of bread (one pumpernickel, and something else...), a couple kilos of apples (for $5!), a jar of indian curry sauce, and some jars of preserves (strawberry and vanilla jam, chili coriander relish, and pickled eggplant). Good healthy stuff, and the turnout today promises that the market will only get bigger and better! There was also a pig! A lovely big hairy pig about the same size and colouring as Pigby from Pushing Daisies. Very cute!

I also showed mum what a lolcat was, she of course complained about the spelling, but still found them very amusing, especially this one. She's going to show it to the Year 7 Science teachers at school, they're doing light and sound at the moment, so it's perfect for teaching purposes :D.
Also very cute!

Other things I did today;

• Fed the ginger beer 'plant' for day 3
• Went to work from 4-9, 5 hour shift with 15 min break, chicken pasta meal for dinner
• Looked up driving instructors, am now comparing prices
• Looked at the confusing microsoft accreditation website, there's no prices or times on it at all!
• Thought about taking photos of my WIPs, but decided the light wasn't good enough. Y'all can wait.
• Organised to have lunch with Gordon tomorrow.
• Did a couple of rows on the blue/grey granny square blanket. Photos soon, I want to document this thing, otherwise I'll end up thinking I've never gotten anywhere with it.

Till tomorrow!
