'He's a very nice man, a very very nice man

that was Neil the AA man who came to my rescue this afternoon. When I returned to my car I found a note saying I had a rear flat.  Call was made and he was with me within 15 mins.  Many thanks Neil, especially for not making feel like I should have changed the tyre myself.  Not that I would have had any idea how to do it, its what we have men for right?

Sense of achievement

Last evening was the first knitting session of the Youth Offending Craft group which meets every Monday  - it went really well even if I say so myself.  Five young girls, all a bit sceptical about knitting - "its for grannies" was the cry.  By the end of the evening I had all five knitting, three took to it very quickly, achieving a great deal without too much help, the other two plodded on, never minding when I ripped their work out and started them off again, even the mid session break for 'a fag' was cut short as they all wanted to get on.  I hope they left with a good feeling (I know I did) as well as their yarn, needles and notebooks.  I don't expect they will pick it up again til next week, but I'm willing to be surprised.  A big thank you to King Cole Wools for their kind donation. 

I'll keep you posted on their progress
