Bronze Medal!

My next door neighbour's oldest son is currently in Beirut participating in the Francophone Games. She just called me to say that he won the bronze medal in the 1500 meters. How fantastic is that??? He may also be running the 5K tomorrow. He comes home on Wednesday.

Her other son Derek (I mentioned him several weeks ago) is going to Egypt. He has to be in Cairo on Monday. He's in England at the moment so he'll be go straight there. He's participating in a reality show on the History network. It's a group of archaeologist and I believe the show is called Chasing Mummies. He doesn't come home until the end of February. What an amazing experience for him. There's never a dull moment around their house that's for sure.

We received another shipment from Peru this afternoon. Each one of those bales holds 90 kilos of yarn. Skippy in the warehouse is going to be a busy boy next week. We're expecting a couple of other shipments next week also.

It's pouring rain outside and I think it's supposed to rain for most of the weekend. Which is a drag because I can't get outside and walk. I think I've got my father convinced to buy a treadmill. He quite enjoys the treadmill when he's at physio. It would be good for him to keep active throughout the winter. My ankle is quite sore today. I wore a shoe with a slightly higher heel yesterday, maybe that's part of the problem. I think the rain isn't helping either.

I bought two pair of shoes after work last week, both fairly flat, black, one is suede, the other leather trimmed with patent. I have the latter on right now and they are very comfortable. I always say, you can't have too many pair of black shoes.

I finished both scarves and Chris is going to have them photographed. We'll have a free pattern on the website in the very near future.

Have a good weekend and Happy Knitting!
