Naughty or nice

If someone you love has been very, very, nice, then you could send them here. Allegedly I have been very very nice, and so a friend treated me to a session here as a late birthday present (33's birthday has been the year that just keeps giving and giving...) It was utterly fabulous, and I'd love to live in the sort of world where I might indulge in the Weekly Groom on a weekly basis - would you get bored of being so pampered?  Well I guess I'd be happy to try it out for a couple of months and see...

If someone you love has been very very naughty, and in fact you're only just resisting harming them bodily, then send them to see Magicians and punish their mind instead.  The Time Out review captures it pretty well.  I thought it would be funny if not riotous, in fact it was tedious laced with a little offensiveness.  Certainly give me those two hours of my life back and let me take a slap at the director and the writers.

More worthy of your £8: The Future is Unwritten, Julien Temple's film about Joe Strummer, which was the Knitflicks movie this week. At one point I got very excited because a friend of mine popped up on screen, and I found out afterwards that he made a record with Strummer. I'd say it's definitely worth the popcorn though it could have been a little shorter.

We managed a quick trip to the SLFS afterwards and I was relatively restrained, though the woman there did say 'Oh you're back again!' and then I worked out that I've been in there three times in four weeks - but on one occasion, only buying for someone else.  Seriously! Thanks to everyone who's suggested hints for the cup sizes thing (I think I might have made up the thing about it only being A and B cups in the pattern but it doesn't go that much further) and Ruth is going to send me an article that I hope will help.  Also, while I am in the middle of throwing out lots of clutter, and some clothes, I am going to adapt Fliss's suggestion and use a shirt I already have as a base pattern for some experimentation.  I also spent some time yesterday sorting out my stash and frogging all the disastrous WIP garments, so the green cardi and the purple tank top.  I've cast on again for the cardi, using straights this time instead of a circular and already the tension looks better.

Everyone please cross fingers and send good vibes that something good job-wise comes from the squillion CVs I sent out last week.

Right, I've got a freelancing job to do.  And a mortage to sort out.  And a divorce settlement to chase.  And a shirt to make.  I may be some time.

I don't think you could ever get bored of being pampered every week - but if you need to test out the theory please do.
