it can be very grey in Scotland at this time of year, some days it's as if the sun hasn't been switched on at all, so I've invested in a SAD light to make sure that I get enough bright light during the day. I've been sitting beside it for nearly an hour each day knitting away on the black Eton cap for Hannah (it will be a while before I knit with black again- it's hard!).
So far, I'm fairly impressed with the light box, and hopefully it will have the desired effect and perk me up in the winter months.
The hat is making good progress too. I have to crack on with this so that I can cast on a sweater for my Mam. I've got the yarn for it and just need to finish this hat for Hannah and then I can cast on the lovely, light coloured, easy to see dusky rose wool.
The football was pretty good at the weekend- despite our main goalscorer, Darren Bent, suddenly leaving to go to Aston Villa, the team kept it together and beat Blackpool 2-1 at Blackpool, keeping us 6th on 37 points.
(Kieran Richardson scored both of ours.) It's so good not to be in the relegation dogfight at the bottom of the table where 4 points separate the bottom 6 teams. D's team only drew 1-1 with Spurs, conceding the equaliser in injury time, which is very annoying for them. Still, they're 8th at the moment with 30 pts, so not too bad, although D would prefer it if his team was in 6th place and mine in 8th!
