May Bank Holiday - its here already!

I can't believe the speed this year has gone! Work deadlines are looming when it seems like yesterday we had "ages" to get things done! It will be half term again before I know it and Hollie will be leaving school, mind you it only seems like 5 minutes ago she was born. Back in the here and now I am just going to enjoy this weekend as it'll probably be the last work free one for a while as I have yet another assignment to complete - still at the rate this year is going, my course will have ended in the blink of an eye!

Its been a busy birthday month for me, there are loads of April birthdays at work and closer to home two of my best friends within days of each other! Sandie is seeing Dawne before I will so I dropped her pressie off there yesterday, she was looking well and really pleased she had an excellent review on her mini lesson she did for her teaching course, mind you I wasn't surprised, she is a natural teacher and has the patience of a saint! Well done Sandie!

A more difficult task was selecting gifts for an April birthday yarn swap which I joined on Ravelry. I was relieved when firstly the parcel actually arrived on time and secondly my swap buddy is really happy with it! I always tend to take ages deciding what to buy people and am never sure I get it right, so it's a relief to know when I do! My pressie from her was gorgeous, especially the divine silk/bamboo yarn in my favorite colour.

So other then birthdays its been fairly quiet. There is a lot going on at work but couldn't possibly divulge anything on here at the moment but watch this space (well watch it if you are really that interested, which I suspect you wouldn't be!)
