Shawl

Everybody’s been knitting the Seascape Stole, including me. As I had to knit it in really laceweighty yarn, it took forever

It was a present for my mother’s 70 year birthday, and she really liked it. I chose the seascape because she lives in Scheveningen and the colour because it suits her.

Klaar!

Afgelopen donderdag ben ik dus afgestudeerd! Enerzijds vreemd, anderzijds voel ik echt een last van mijn schouders vallen.

Door mij te pletter te werken en door een goed examen (20 min. presentatie, 30 min. vragen) heb ik een 9 weten te scoren. Ben dus erg tevreden !

Voldoende

Had een voldoende voor mijn afstudeerdossier, zit nu dus bij Cogis mijn presentatie voor te bereiden. (oeps, deze post hoort eigenlijk meer thuis in mijn cogis-blog…)

Ingeleverd

Zo, afgelopen donderdag met de trein naar Den Haag om een dik pakket met mijn afstudeerdossier in viervoud in te leveren… Na rustig weekendje nog steeds moe….

Uit lopen met een subset van de Wandelgrrls – incl. 3 mannen ‘van’. Het was een erg leuke wandeling, met veel kikkergeblaat, mooi weer, bloemen en afsluitende appeltaart in Zevenaar.

Washer

• studies: I have to change a LOT in mijn products for my studies, so next six weeks are going to be work-work-work untill I just about drop.
• But first: I’ve allowed myself to rest during Easter, as I’m sóóó tired from sleeping really badly during the last week or so (stress from studies + that darn light saving time-shift = out of sleeping rhythm)
• I just casually ordered a new washing machine over the phone (after an hour or two of desk and field research)

No housewife could do without it. Seriously, women's lib owes a lot to washers.

Snood

As I mentioned earlier, I won Farmapa’s snood:

Feel like someone from the Moomins.

Sheep art

And now for something completely different. I always watched “A Man and His Dog” when I was ill. This is also really OK:

Hilmer

Hilmer Hassig went to my high school for about two months in 1981 before Scatterbrain really took off. I remember him as a really nice, friendly & smiling guy. Who by the way more or less introduced me to new wave in stead of all the hippie music I’d been listening to untill then. And I only found out this Saturday (I don’t really follow Danish news) that he’d been run over and killed by a taxi last november.

Here he is, playing guitar with Kliché in 1985:

Wauwww

O, I’ve actually won something!! I entered the birthday draw on My Funny Eye’s blog - and actually won her snood!
So excited!!! My heart leapt up etc.!

This is so great, because I read/watch her blog quite a lot and with a lot of pleasure!!
