Blogmeet

A blog-meet with a difference this week - a blog-visitor from overseas! A group of us met in a cafe in Federation Square and enjoyed a very pleasant brunch.

Seeing as it was Pea Soup organising there was an invitation to bring our knitting. So I did. Which felt pretty cheeky given my novice status; mixing it with clever knitters like this and this and this and this. Anyway I managed a few rows on my purple fluffy hat, and admired the far more complex work of the experts.

It was lovely to meet everyone - the chat was lively and the kids were cute. I had a rare indulgence - pancakes for brunch - and Sueeeus and I chuckled over an unexpected cultural difference : the serving of ice-cream with pancakes. We do it, Americans don't. Sueeeus is off now to meet some Sydney bloggers I asked her to kiss them on the cheek from me.

No photos taken as far as I know which is why I gave you my boys in a box instead. (Climber did ask me how to spell Bertie properly but clearly vagued out halfway through the process.)

Shula and I will be catching up Friday morning ...

You guys!!

I am feeling better today. In fact I am fine. And although this is partly due to the fact that the toilet is now cleaned, and the anaesthetic has left my system, it is also largely because of the kind & supportive words from you lovely people. And for this I say thanks.

And I also say sorry for having such a wobbly. Honestly if this is the worst thing that is happening in my life (I'm about to have a birthday party, for fuck's sake) then really what AM I complaining about?

Panic attacks suck.

But! it does make me want to give blogging a big round of applause.

Because there I was, stuck at home with a semi-clean bathroom, in a complete state, tears pouring down my face, and in desperation I sent a cry for help into cyber-space - and got answers and hugs and kisses and all sorts. Even a speech! Which is pretty cool when you think about it.

Cyber party at my blog in about 3 weeks time, okay? You're all invited.

This was waiting for me when I got home from tap last night.
