There’s No Place Like Home

I’m back. And sooo glad to be home. Mid last week I hit that part of a cold/flu where you feel really flat, and got a bout of homesickness on top. Still, I got 2/3 of the work done that I was hoping to achieve, caught up with a good friend and met some lovely knitters, so there were plenty of good bits to make up for moments of sickness and sookiness.

On Monday I hitched a ride from David of Sticks and String, who was heading down from Katoomba to the Epping branch of the NSW Knitter’s Guild, picking up Lara on the way. Lots of interesting chat in the car with both David and Lara. And I experienced my first ever knitter’s guild meeting – lots of feisty old ladies.

Then it was off to the airport… after having to stuff my knitting into my suitcase. Podcasts kept me sane on the trip home. It’s amazing how they can make teenagers with no idea where their pointy elbows are jabbing much easier to bear sitting next to.

I have photos to post, but just encountered a hitch. My desktop computer is in the new workroom, but is refusing to talk to the wireless network for more than a few minutes at a time. So I have my laptop in the lounge. Unfortunately it doesn’t have a program able to crop and resize photos. Thinking I was being really clever, I took the camera upstairs to the desktop to prepare them, then copied them back to the camera and took it downstairs. Then I plugged it into the laptop so I could upload them… and the camera battery ran out. And the spare battery is charging. Sigh.

So this is yet another pic-free episode of knitting and chocolate. If all goes well, I’ll have images of cliffs and waterfalls and knitting for you tomorrow.

  1. iPhoto does a really good job at cropping and resizing photos – give it a shot 🙂

    And yes, I will buy the next ones full price!

    Great to meet you.

  2. Good to see you back home safely! I’m so sorry that I missed out on meeting you. Looking forward to the photos!

  3. Hehe, Lara. I wasn’t serious, of course. I get about $2 from each. If people feel bad about getting them cheap or from the library, I tell them to buy me a cup of tea or a g&t next time we meet.

    I’ll give iPhoto a try. Thanks for the tip.

    No worries, Michelle. I’m sure we’ll manage to cross our paths one day.

  4. I knew you weren’t serious 🙂

    Mark and I had a good laugh when he found the book. You’re certainly not going to make a gajillion dollars in Australia, but I like to do my bit to support the local industry!
