Long time no post

Here is a pictoral review of the past few weeks:

Over the Yuletide holiday we spent a lot of time with Matthew's mum's new dog, Harry. He's a Border Collie and he's very sweet. Here's Matthew and Harry at Tatton Park (yes, Matthew is on the phone :rollseyes: )



I learned how to make buns with my breadmaker. And yes, they are as delicious as they look:



Last weekend, to celebrate the end of all my deadlines we hired a car and visited Worcester cathedral and the Cotswold Wildlife Park. The CWP had lots of exciting things, owls (hoorah!), an awesome fruit bat exhibit, cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute lickle mon-kehs and heaps of otters! The otters were lovely, it was nearly their feeding time, so they were squeaking at everyone who went near. The meerkats were also due to be fed, and they all ran up to me thinking I was the keeper! And there was a parrot to which Matthew said 'hello'... and the parrot replied! We weren't expecting that! It then screamed 'helllloooooooooooo!!!' for some time after. And my favourite turtle:



It's a Fly River Turtle. This type of turtle is on the bar at the end of the Malibu advert (with the melons) - and I did once shriek in the cinema when the adverts were on 'that's my favourite turtle!'

My chiropractor has said it's OK for me to knit again, provided I take it slow. So as well as continuing my cardigan I knitted this headband as I just wanted to complete something, given the cardie will take weeks!



(Just don't tell my chiropractor it took 6 hours :P )

And finally we went swimming today, so I got to try out my new swimming hat.



I'll let you think up your own jokes :P
