I've set up this blog and now I'm not sure where to start. Do I give an introduction of me and my family, say why I'm here or what's happened to me today. I used to keep a diary, but it is languishing in the lounge feeling unloved- I spend so much time on the computer, it seemed more practical keeping a record of events here. I meant to make my first entry on Tuesday when everyone was supposed to write what they'd done that day on a website, to give prosperity a snapshot of life on 17th October 2006, but I never quite got there. I read in the paper that everyone got up tired, went to work and spent the evening infront of the television. I'm sure there must have been some exciting events. I had a marginally better day than usual; spent most of it working on the website I manage http://www.ukhandknitting.com/, but through one of the emails I received, I got my first commissioned project in ages... I was so chuffed, but worried at the same time that I can come 'up with the goods'. I'm not going to say exactly what it is, but it involves knitting (surprise, surprise) and wine, what better combination could you have?
Went tap dancing in the evening, so had some exercise, even managed a triple time step! Home to an empty house (husband Graham in NY and daughter Lucy at boyfriend's)

Wednesday Lucy and I went to De Montford University at Leicester for their open day. We listened to talks on the Footwear course, Retail Buying and Contour Fashion (lingerie and swimwear). Think Retail Buying will suit her best as it involves some fashion design, but also attention to display and accessories- made me wish to have my time all over again. The Footwear course is all hands on, which I'd love. Guess what, though... they only ever make one shoe!
