I've also got my head around my Rainbow overnight, I now feel like I know what is going on with it, and have printed off a few resources that I need to sit laminating, possibly while watching Dr Who tonight. I've even pulled out my leaf motif squares, as I've finished my sock I needed to do something else that was quick and easy and that I wouldn't worry about little mistakes. I'd forgotten how gratifying this project was. After 20 minutes I've got a completed item, and I'm ready to persuade my brain to go back to work.
however what I'm most proud about is that I have mended my climbing trousers. You might have seen a few days ago that I posted a picture of my trousers being held together by duck tape. This was mostly due to them having just worn out. When you're climbing the seat of your trousers can take a bit of a hammering, you're sitting on rough rock, quite often when you're climbing down off a bolder you're basically just sliding over rock with a texture like sandpaper. Eventually my poor trousers could take no more, as I put my foot on a high foot hold there was a ripping noise and half my arse was hanging out!
However no more will the world be exposed to my arse as I have mended them. They are not trousers for wearing in smart company, however, they still have years of use left in them!
Here are the before and after pictures.
Wow I think you are so brave, I could´t do that, climbing I mean I am afraid of hights. I live in Singapore and went up the Ferris wheel last week and I sat on the floor:-) Embarrasing is just the beginning, haha.

I didn't actually tell her off, just mentioned it because this blog is where I keep up to date with Katie's life. We forget to mention so much when we speak on the phone!
