Bethan Rose: Peek at My Week!

Sorry! I've been a bit distracted lately... So here's a cheeky look at what I got up to last week!

MONDAY

So the week started of smashingly... I'd been feeling crappy all weekend- but I'd put it down purely to a mega-hangover from Friday night... But no, Monday I decided to take myself off to the doctors, only to discover I had one hell of a viral throat infection- which explains why I still felt rubbish! I KNEW IT WASN'T A HANGOVER!

Anyway, ill I decided to take myself home home for a few days been as there was no way I'd be up to a days knitting on Tuesday... And been as I don't have a decent picture to reflect Monday's illness, have a lil' pic from Friday night!

TUESDAY

I was right, I wasn't up to a day of knitting. So naturally I spent the day on the sofa with Dump, our resident house bunny!

WEDNESDAY

Wednesday I felt a million times better! Not right but ok, ok enough to go into uni for our careers/placement talk... In which I discovered I was no where near finding a placement!

I also got a few cheeky fair isle knits done, making me feel a little better about missing out on a Tuesday knit day!

THURSDAY

Thursday I was at work- nothing special just work. In fact the highlight of my day was delivery of elastic! I bloody love the stuff! Its definitely becoming my thing!

FRIDAY

Friday was my favourite day of the week! I was lucky enough to get to go on a trip to Shima Seiki! The Shima's the type of industrial knitting machine at uni, and every time I use it, I become kind of obsessed with it for a few days. It's literally all I think off! It may sound geeky to you, but it's my jam. I LOVES IT I DO!

Anyway, we got to have a nose around their show room- some of the knitwear they produce is amazing! Its mad to think how they were made...

Back at uni, I had a good knit day- I got some good stuff! Oh, and to top it all off- CURRY FOR TEA! WEYYYYY

SATURDAY

Saturday was a busy one. I started by cooking for my house mates (well I don't actually live with them, but they've very kindly adopted me in!) to celebrate Zi's birthday! It was only Chilli Con Carne- I'm not going to claim to be a culinary genius!

After a quick costume change ( a 2 hour process including washing, drying and curling my hair, and shaving my long, gorilla like legs..) I was off into town with my partner in crime, Claud, to meet my main men. Once a year my dad and his mates have a lads day out to Uttoxeter races, and each year they call for a pint or 6 in Derby. These mates, they're like family. They are family. I've grew up with them filling an uncle-like roll, some of them I'd even consider to be more of a father figure. And then there's Chico. He's just, well, Chico.... I'm lucky to have them- I know they'd beat up anyone who screwed me over! We'd make a good team! Haha
