It’s been a few years since I led a Connect Group for my (old) church in Canberra. I’ve been going to a Women’s Group on monday nights since we moved here and loving it! Today the Group Leader rang me with a terrible headcold (she really sounded awful!) and asked if I could lead the discussion tonight. Ummm, sure… but I wasn’t in church on sunday as I was sick all weekend, so I have no idea what the discussion is about! Luckily there are discussion notes posted for the leaders, so I could grab those and rely on the other ladies who were in church! It went really well, there were only four of us there, and we finished earlier than usual. The discussion went great, we all learned from it and I was so blessed not to be nervous at the thought of leading again! In fact, it felt pretty good! 
Leading a Connect Group again
Suzy the cat
Meet Suzy. We got her from the RSPCA several years ago, only a week before the organisation was burnt out in the Canberra fires of January 2003. She sleeps on my feet, and comes and snuggles up into my arm in the mornings. She also has a bad habit of wanting to be let outside at 4.00am, running through the house around the same time of morning. Let me assure you, cats are NOT quiet! I’ve heard Dian make less noise….
Hash browns and my DH
So it’s the day before Mother’s Day. I’m attempting to sleep in, while ignoring the sounds of Dian and her friend who slept over as they play and watch tv. I can hear Eddie in the kitchen and thought he was cooking breakfast. He was, my breakfast! He came in with a hash brown made from leftover mashed spuds, and when I suggested that tomato sauce would be nice on the next one, this is what he brought me. Isn’t he wonderful!!!!!
Ok, the photography isn’t the best!!! BTW, they tasted good too!
Scarf Swap
I was recently in a scarf swap that was organised on Woolaholics Forum.
This is the scarf I received from M in Western Aust. It’s very long and designed to be folded in half and looped around your neck. Lovely and soft and warm!!!
And this is the one I sent to A. It’s a moebius scarf, see the half twist in the knitting? And yes, it’s actually knitted with the twist in it! I know you can cheat and knit a straight piece and then graft it together, but this is knitted with the twist in. I loved it so much I didn’t want to send it off, so now I’m making myself one exactly the same! A loved it too!
