I have been really busy preparing for more competitions, and I had a gig last night playing for the UCD choir again. In a way, it wasn’t worth it as the pay was less than what they’d said initially. But it was good in another, because I had a chat with Hugh Tinney and Catherine Leonard, who were playing in the second half, and I feel like I’m getting a bit more comfortable talking to him now. I also met a student of his, Cathy, whom I have known for years, but never really got to talk to. We had a bit of a chat too. She’s nice, but I still don’t like how she plays.
Unfortunately, all this playing and gigging means I have had no knitting time 🙁 however, it is lashing out this evening, so I think I’ll put my feet up and get on with that purple sleeve I showed in my last post. The new Magknits is up, but it’s not terribly inspiring. I want something exciting to start! I’m a bit disappointed ever since my yarn order from Rowan never came through; I had to cancel it.
All this playing and gigging also means that I have been totally neglecting other things – like my poor secret pal! I sent her an email to apologise, and “revealed” myself in order to explain, but she probably hates my guts by now. I have my last parcel half assembled, I just have to get it all together and put it in the post! But finding the time to… bah!
I saw your blog listed on Blogaram and thought I would stop in and say hello.
I’m sure that your secret pal will be understanding of the situation that you are in and why you haven’t gotten your package off to her yet.
Hope you are able to get some knitting done tonight!
I have already emailed you, but I think you’ve been fab, all things considering 🙂 I’ve thoroughly enjoyed being spoilt by you 😀
