Living smart

It worries me a lot that I'm moving to such an expensive place to live. In many ways I don't feel like I have a choice - that there are undeniable reasons for going to WA - but that it is, in other ways, neither logical nor clever to go there. Looking at property to rent or buy is an exercise in futility. I worry that we'll get there and have nowhere to live. I wonder how I'll make a decision about a job if I have no idea of what it would be like to live in a particular place. I worry that the bf and I won't agree or be able to work it out (unlikely, really).

On a lighter note (as the above is essentially unsolvable at the moment), it was last day for kids today at school - only two more days of the semester for me. Thank good. I couldn't have gone on - 13 weeks is just stupidly long for a term. This also means that I'm halfway to out of here. School seems to be imploding slightly and I'm glad to be getting out really. On the other hand I think I'll be really sad to go. Although whenever anyone asks me about it I can't get the grin off my face, which is slightly embarrassing. Never mind.

Also, I'm knitting a beanie in the round. It's fun. Perhaps more fun that straight needles. I'm a bit worried it won't fit me - it doesn't seem big enough - but knitted things tend to stretch so hopefully it will be okay. I love building patterns with stitches. You're never quite sure how it will turn out until you've done a few rows, then it starts looking cool. Did I mention that I'm really enjoying knitting??!

Enough now. I've been thinking other 'sustainable' things, but I've had three drinks now and I think I should stop there. Happy end of semester to me.

Can you teach me how to knit when I see you next? You know, so I have a jumper too when peak oil steals my wardrobe. But seriously, I want to learn!
