Milestone

Yesterday Denise and I reached another milestone in our relationship. We've been together for three years now. And we celebrated in big style. We had dinner at a cafe and rented two movies and sat at home watching them. Ahhh, there in no better way to enjoy time with a loved one than doing something you both really want to. And some days that's sitting down relaxing, wearing pyjamas and ugg boots, and enjoying each others company.
Ahh, all those memories from three years ago, student conference, few too many drinks, dribbling shit, talking about Harry Potter, and many things that we've both forgotten, or don't wish to remember.
Although it does remind us that we have now been engaged longer than we haven't. And we still haven't done much about it. Ok, we do have a celebrant, ceremony venue and reception venue. The other stuff would be nice too. Gotta get organised.

Poor Frankie had an accident yesterday. Seems she found out exactly how close she should get to the heater as she's managed to singe her some of those long hairs in her eyebrow. Poor little sook got a cuddle, and laughed at. Probably a good reason never to get an open fire, she won't just a black cat because of her fur.
But as our editor we can't say too many bad things about her. She may decide to start cutting things we say about her. Just one of her dirty looks and she can put us in our place.
Hmm, who does run this household?

Denise has finished her Magic Stripe Socks that everyone in her class has been watching her make. They are really cool. She's since started on a new pair as a surprise gift for someone out of the Bendigo wool she got from our last trip up there.
I've worked a bit on my toddler's hot socks, I turned the heel today, then realised I should stop again. May consider asking Omi (german for grandmother) to teach me continental knitting as Nancy commented. Seems like way too much yarn action and very little needle, but it obviously works.
But the beige blankie is growing bigger. Its surprisingly warm to have sit on my lap as I work on it, although I don't sit like that on the bus with it.

And a breakthrough with Frankie. She now sleeps in her bed again, not ours. I ran her blankets (two old jumpers) through the dryer before we went to bed, and she curled up in the middle of them and slept there all night. What a relief.
