MONDAY morning

I am very busy both at work and privat,but only positive business! I understand I am "older", I need more time, and more rest(!! ;-)) I cannot understand how I managed earlier days. May be I am a bit more sensible now too, giving myself a bit more space!

I try to read RCTY every day, but after a couple of (for me) busy days, there are 2-300 unread messages! IF I have forgot any Birthdays and Anniversaries and welcomes, please forgive me!!!

The spring is late here, spring and summer is what we wait for every year... ... But yesterday was a beautiful day, and I am sure some of you have guessed it: we had a nice trip at the sea! Nothing is so relaxing!

May 11, our school is 75 yo, and we celebrate the jubilee with a performance, where everyone, pupils and teachers, are at the stage (Not at the same time!LOL!)

May 13, a collegue and I leave fore 1 week in Barcelona, and we really DO look forward to that week. WE have both passed 60, and then we get an extra week off! We can take that week whenever we "want" in the year. But of course, we try to do it when we make as little "trouble" as possible. We are "good girls" and brought up that way! LOL!

We are happy to travel in spring! It is a better time than summer, we think. It is also much easier to get a less expensive flight and hotels; at least we were very lucky this time!

I have just finished a "something; a bit more than a shawl--- and a little less than a poncho" for use in the afternoon after a nice summerday. Picture later. I also work on socks: strange enough, I have finished the FIRST in each "Two pair of socks".

The case is that I must have used a thicker needle for sock nr.2, I was nearly finished when I discovered that it was "a bit more than slightly bigger" than nr.1!LOL!

Well, I will knit two more, one with the small needles , and one with the thicker needles. Then one more person wil be the lucky receiver of an extra pair of socks.

ALWAYS popular!

Hugs to all of you, AUD ;-)

Hi Aud, its nice to have some time to be busy just for YOU....here in the UK it is the May Bank Holiday, we aren't doing anything much, just here resting, a bit of weaving, watching some old film, and a bit of crocheting, taking the dogs for a walk and doing nowt in particular.

It must have been a great treat to go to the sea, we shall go soon, but dh's work calls at the moment so it is not possible just yet.

Enjoy your away days when you can.....hugz Cher

Hi Aud,

Happy Maybasket Day to you and all the others. It's a lovely springlike day here too, flowers are beginning to open and the trees are leafing out. One of my favorite times of the year.

Can't wait to see your pictures.

Hugs,

Nora

Aud how nice that you get that extra week of holidays. I guess there is someone in Norway who realizes that you need that extra time, once you are over 60....LOL Wonder what time they will give you once you are over

70 ...LOL

Have a great time in Spain, and tell us all about it after you come back.

Aud,

I have made several pairs of socks this spring and about to start on an afghan I promised my sister-in-law.

WR Crafts is closing down for good and has all knitting notions and yarn at 50 percent off. I will make a haul in about 14 hours :).

Aud, I hope your spring comes soon. It is beautiful here in northern Illinois. It will be in the 70s today.

Hugs & God bless, Dennis & Gail

Have fun in Barcelona Aud! DH & I spent several days there in the spring about 10 years ago and it was beautiful. The Gaudi architecture is wonderful, and so is the Picasso museum. It has a lot of work from when he was a child (around 12-14) that shows how gifted he was. It also has a lot of his mature work. I never really appreciated Picasso before I visited that museum.

The spring "hesitates" a bit here, ONE nice day and then ONE, more chilly. Sun today, but a bit cold! But the evenings are bright! We do not have midnightsun here, but just now there is no dark untill half past ten - eleven in the evening.

Last year, the trees were green now; then it was a bit early. Now you barely can see the start of green leaves.

My tulips from Amsterdam have nice big bulbs, but will need many days to open.

But I have had visit from deer, they love the tulips, and have eaten the leaves on at least 50 plants!!! I was lucky; the bulbs were hidden yet, and they came up on nearly every plant!! So... now I hope they don't visit me a second time! LOL! They are so pretty, so I am not able to be angry either, but if I SEE them, I "shoo" them!LOL!

I must say, when I finished "spring greetings" to DD and SIL, DS and DIL; Some necklaces inspired by Els to the girls, and socks for the boys, I thought: No more sock for a long time! But I saw DH's long "eye" on the socks, and I think I will make him a new pair. AUD ;-)
