AN UPDATE

I have been working on several knitting projects so have not had time to blog..... (excuses)

A friend of mine has had a delicious little boy and I have been knitting him some full length pants (photos to follow) and a relative of Ian's is having a little girl any day so I have been knitting for her too.

It has been a busy couple of weeks media wise and there are lots going on in the world.... a snapshot,

Nick and Dave are gearing up for a backlash from the Unions over their impending spending cuts.  Oh dear, what a depressing place to live at the moment.

The Pope's visit.  Not sure whether I agree with the Pope having a "State" visit.  This visit was arranged by the former Goverment - reasons not given - and honoured by our current Government - cause they were too scared to put a stop to it, even though they are making cuts left, right and centre, they deem it ok to spend an enormous amount of money on this visit.  This is a visit to a country where the majority of the people ARE NOT catholic!!!  Conclusion: I must be a Nazi because I don't believe in the drivel that the Pope comes out with about condoms, HIV, pornography, women not being priests oh and his opinion about priests who abuse children..... move them on to abuse even more children. (end of rant)

The coffee machine that blew up in a Sainsbury store south of the Watford Gap - this was strange, perhaps someone thought the Pope was having a latte in the cafe - no, all joking apart, I visited Costa Coffee, as I usually do on a Saturday morning, to find myself taking a back step when the coffee was being made. 

Oh and Rooney - well poor old Colleen, she has forgiven him - silly moo moo.
