i really can't believe how long it's been since i last made an entry, knitting has almost ground to a halt of late (with the exception of a very simple hat i finished last weekend, and some more of my latest scarf) with much of my focus having to go on far less fun things such as assignments, preparation for tutorials and just lectures in general (don't get me wrong, i love what i'm training to do, i just find the theory side of things so boring and much prefer learning practically on the wards) anyway this can only be a very quick update as i've very soon got to be prised off the doorframe kicking and screaming to the dentist and the usually rather unpleasant experience of going to the dentist is made even more unpleasant by the fact that lsb passed his cold onto me which as well as giving off all the usual signs and symptoms of a cold always seems to make my mouth red raw - wish me luck not biting the new dentist's fingers off when he catches the sore spots! will have to take some knitting with me to keep my hands busy in the waiting room, scarf or heel less socks, i wonder?
