Back to work with a vengeance
Reality hits for real with now the lower 6th have started their proper timetables. Last week I had the luxury of a 2 lesson week – today I met 3 new groups (66 names to learn – I’ve made a reasonable start 
) as well as my upper 6th group at the end of the day. Combine that with staffing the drop-in homework workshop at lunchtime, and I’m pooped.
And today was John’s first day at his new job too – he seems pretty happy about it – although I expect that computer “negotiations” will break out soon at home (“I want it”, “But I want it” etc.)
Still, yesterday I managed to make a good start on the first sleeve of my Norwegian epic – and happy, happy, happy – my Denise Interchangeable Knitting Needles arrived today
Oooh – and I notice that someone from The Guardian has found my blog by googling “Leo Hickman”.

Have you had a chance to try the Denise’s yet? I love knitting with mine, although I thought they looked (and smelt) weird when I first opened them. Very plasticky. But I find them much better to knit with than normal plastic ones. Oh, and it’s like playing with meccano…Daisy () (link) - 13 September '05 - 19:28

Denise Interchangeable Knitting Needles – they’re fairly wonderful! (I’ve one or two small gripes, but I’ll save that for another time.)Oh, and I succumbed last night and started on the soaker pants!
