I really need to update this journal more often. Don't I?

Anyway...

Even thought it was a four day weekend for Easter, I had only three. I worked on Good Friday. I am still in the Call Centre/Box Office of the Museum, which meant we were quiet quiet quiet. We had a fiar number of calls first thing asking if we are open, what activities we had on for the kiddies, where are we? That kind of thing. Once it hot lunch time the number of calls seriously died off. I came back from my lunch break at 3, and between then and 6 when I finished I answered zero phone calls!! Pretty amazing. I was surprised anyone called at all really!

Saturday Scotty and I made the trek to Ikea in Croydon. Croydon is in south west London, and we are in east London. So it took over an hour. But, on the plus side, we got to ride on the tram! There is a tram in the area, which is super speedy. And it took us right to the door, well, almost!! We bought some stuff for the flat - kitchen stuff that we needed, a dirty clothes basket, a shoe rack, those kind of things. We also bought two chairs. Sounds crazy I know. The flat is furnished, but the chairs that are in there are a bit crap, and are not very sturdy at all. So, we grabbed two really cheap, but sturdy and comfy chairs, that can be used inside and out (a consideration now we have a garden!!!!).

Sunday was a quiet day as there was nothing open in London. We stayed at home and tidied and found places for things. Not very exciting I know.

Monday we were going to go on a random tourism trip, but we decided we was too poor until payday on Friday. So we went to the movies instead. There is a deal over here with one of the cinemas, Cineworld, which allows you to join a club in a sense. You basically get as many movies as you like for £13.99 per month. Scott paid for his whole year's worth. I was lucky as I was given a voucher for a year's movies for free. So effectively, we are going for free!! It makes it much better when the movie is not so great. :-)

Not much exciting has been happening. I finished my knitted iPod cover though. I am so impressed with the way this has turned out. I shall have to post photos on here for you all to see (and of the new place). I seem to be an experimental knitter. I knitted the whole thing in two strands, changing colours as I went along the row to make stripes (vertical on the front and diagonal on the back). I am SO impressed with it and with myself. Another thing I am impressed with is..... I have taught myself how to do eyelets. They can also be used as button holes, but I have knitted a square with them, in alternate positions along the row thso it looks a bit like lace. I want to make a rug or a throw. So I am going to knit lots of squares and them sew them together. I am still a beginner knitter really. I am in need of practice. Well, maybe not a beginner, but I am certainly not advanced. Maybe intermediate then? Anyway, I really enjoy being able to create things. Things I can do: knit, cross stitch, tapestry, latch hook (a while ago now though). Yay me! ;-)

I hope all my readers are well and happy. :-D
