I've had to buy more yarn...

Not that I have run out of existing yarn... even I couldn't do that... but, due to the fact that I have no idea when I am going to be able to get a flight back to the UK, I thought I would buy some to keep me going. I have an idea for making some little black baby shoes, maybe t-bar Mary Jane types, with some cute embellishments on them. I'll have a think.

So, I'm still here. My sister Rie, suggested that I write a diary about my exploits while "Stuck in Seattle." Don't know if "stuck" is the right word really. My precious one is being cared for by his paternal grandparents and I am still able to spend time with the gorgeous one here in Seattle.

I have been holding onto the air France telephone line for over 45 minutes now which, is not a long time really considering there are probably around 10,000 other flyers trying to get through. I shall simply wait my turn. Do French people queue?? I don't think they do, but I am terrified to cancel the call. So, during the past 45 minutes, I have managed to complete a few tasks.... don't you just love wireless headphones. I have:
1. Washed today's breakfast dishes
2. Finished the second purple silk and alpaca bootee and sewn up the seams
3. Made some gluten free cup cakes for our friend Jan who is celebrating her
birthday tomorrow. They are oatflour based with mashed banana and chopped up Snickers bar (forever known to me as 'a Marathon.' If they taste good, I'll post the recipe - if they're awful, I won't!
4. Updated my Facebook status and sent messages to friends many miles away.

And I'm still on hold....

Last night, we had a wonderful BBQ and fire in the fire pit. I'm getting in to the habit of quaffing bubbly Champagne stuff, which, although utterly delicious, makes me jolly thirsty the next day. Kris and Jan came over, Duke frightened off potential burglars with his howling and we all had a great night. I might have a couple more before I have to head home again.

Dinner tonight is going to be toad in the hole, with not a toad in sight. Sausages and Yorkshire pudding... wonderful. I have to make more cupcakes first. Think I will make apple cakes next, maybe with some oaty crumble mix on top.

Still holding....

Still holding...
