First of all, to anyone who tried to leave a comment yesterday and had trouble, I sincerely apologise. It appears that the server that hosts the site goes off on a tea break late in the day (AU time)
\nI knew it got slow, which is why I started blogging in the mornings, but it’s getting worse. DH is looking about for a solution or a better host.
\nThe vast majority of people voted for E. I was leaning toward E, too.
\nThen I took the advice that some of you left, and I put the zips in<\/i> the cardi.

\nNow that I’ve done it like that, I think<\/i> I like the light one better. I’m going to leave it for a few days and keep looking at them until I decide. I prefer the way the light one looks in the body of the sweater, but I like the way the dark one looks with both colours. Decisions, decisions!
\nJust after I blogged yesterday, I had a minidrama. The sort of one that I excel in \ud83d\ude42
\nI went out to the kitchen, and on of these was in my back door. Inside the house. Nearly 2 inches long. A bloody wasp.

\nPanic? Me? Of course! I rang DH who works in the city, an hour and a half train trip away. I’m sucking in air, gasping and about ready to faint, and of course he can’t do a thing from there. I had no insect spray, and even if I had, I’m too scared to spray them. What if it attacks<\/i> me? He told me to ring my Mum.
\nI love my Mum \ud83d\ude42
\nLuckily she only lives 3 doors up. Technically anyway. We both live in villas, I’m not sure what you guys call them in the US. There are 20 similar small houses, all on the same block (Like a single level apartment, I guess) I live in one block of villas, Mum lives in a block of villas further up the street. So I rang her (At this point I’m standing on the front porch, barely able to talk – thank heavens I have a cordless phone!) and she came down, armed with insect spray and a little net from her fishtank. Of course, by the time she arrived, we had no idea where it had gone. It was right behind me. But Mum saved me \ud83d\ude42
\nI know, I’m pathetic. I can’t help it. Anything like that, or one of them eight legged things, and I have a panic attack. Ironically, the wasp kills the eight legged things, so I should worship it. Not happening.
\nEm reminded me that today is the first day of Lent. She wants to give up homework. DH and I both asked her to give up whining \ud83d\ude09
\nI’m giving up yarn buying. I’ve never stuck to the yarn diet before, but surely even I can manage 40 days. I hope \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
