Knits

I’m back in the UK and have been for almost two weeks. However, I’ve only just got phone service (they lost my order despite calling me about it) and have to wait 48 hours to even order internet access and then of course it’s another 7 days or something ridiculous. I’m at the library and thought I’d just pop in to say hi.

My flat has turned out to be totally crap. It’s in a great location albeit a bit noisy as it actually looks onto a major-ish road (didn’t expect this) and it has absolutely zero storage space. The rooms are a funky shape so it’s hard to put things in. Needless to say, I won’t be staying beyond my 6-month let which is sort of a shame since I hate moving. I guess the upside is that I can take my time a bit more in finding a place to live.

Trigger is fine although her cancer is showing more. She’s settled right in and is enjoying the sunny apartment. The sink is giving her a bit of trouble as it’s all modern and stupid so it’s difficult for her to get in and get her drinks.

I hired a car and drove myself and Trigger up. Having the car let me run a few errands, but I didn’t need it as long as I booked it for and it ended up causing a bit of anxiety for me since my flat has no parking. It’s gone now and I’m awaiting my car club package to come through so that if and when I need a car, I can hire it by the hour and not have to worry about all the trials and tribulations of car ownership.

I start my new job on Wednesday and am looking forward to it although as I’m sure I’ve said before, I’m not looking forward to commuting to work. Blah.

Anyway, I went up the coast a bit, sat on the beach, ate an ice cream, and knit. No knitting to show although I do have a lot of yarn that has come into my possession in the last couple of months. As soon as I get my own connection I’ll bore you with those highlights. Hope you’re all well. I’m as good as can be expected…
