Roman has gone to school today as Pirate Captain Roman!
Today was week one of "Understanding Teenagers/Living with a Teenager" course as I have a tweenager I did find it quite interesting. This one is a five week course so we have four weeks left.
This afternoon I thought it was about time I registered with the library to borrow and download ebooks to my Kobo. I managed to set up an account and download Adobe Digital Editions but something to do with needing a license I had to wait for Mark to get home and sort it for me as they were unable to open on my Kobo. After an afternoon of cursing and getting frustrated he has finally done it this evening and I have downloaded Anais some Jacqueline Wilson books to read, her favourite author.
I have spent so much time reading lately and getting thoroughly engrossed (first "The Millenium Collection" - Stiegg Larsson and then "The Hunger Games Trilogy" - Suzanne Collins) I have had little time to do anything else. I need to get back into crochet or start my Meerkat latch hook that has been on many holidays now but taken second place to crochet or reading.

Issue 7 of Homemaker magazine came in the post today.
I thought this crochet bowl cover looked cute so thought I'd have a go as I haven't done any crochet in a while. Bear in mind they have used thin sock yarn and 2.5mm hook and I used DK and a 4mm hook, here is my effort.......
I am quite pleased with it and the pattern was pretty simple to follow which was a bonus. I only did to row 9 though as row 10 involved threading beads on and as I used DK (thicker than sock yarn) I didn't think there would be much hope of threading it through bead holes.
I did notice when I went out on Monday the charity shop had some sock yarn but as the chance of me knitting socks is zero I ignored it. I may go back tomorrow or Friday to investigate.............!
