Will the rain ever stop?

Wow - I am finding it hard to believe the amount of rain we are having - the poor dogs are having to do quick runs around the block when ever it stops for a short time as Drew just doesn't do rain. Still there is always an upside so I get to cosy indoors with my knitting, put my comfy squizhy joggers on and some lovely vanilla scented candles - bliss.

I have finished my teardrop scarf - but unfortunately it isnt as big as I would have liked - and I have now started the first scarf with border out of Victorian Lace Today. Its the first time I have had a go at charts - the lace chart itself is easy to read and I have had no probs with it but finding out the construction of the pattern has been a bit tricky and it isnt really explained anywhere but as usual the girls on Angelyarns forums have been stars and helped me out. Anyway am off to meet my mom to take her to Ikea!!!

Oh and I hope you haven't forgotten where I am off to tomorrow..... its the Poker Final !!!

Poker Night

Well folks last night was poker night - I play in the Red Tooth Pub Poker League and....... I won! I was very much in need of the points as there is currently a bit of a battle going on for 2nd place between me and my friend Pete. I am not sure yet if I have done enough to secure second place and go to the Regional Final but will keep you posted. I went last season as I won our pub league and had a really great day - I came 28th out of 200 so that was not so bad either but ended up very drunk - am definately not an all day drinker.

Anyway plans for the week so far are ..... waiting for pay day (top priority), needing to go on a diet(will start tomorrow) and must go out and get a new camera so I can add some pics to this blog and spice things up a bit - after all it is called Bedlingtons and Knitting and all I have managed to put up is a pair of the socks I knitted for Gav. Oh well I am still new to this at the moment.
