OPAM october

October rushed past! I found I did have a couple of finishes after all.

The first photo is a cushion cover made out of a cotton bag showing the university's logo. I love the owl sitting on the 7 mountains circling Bergen - but so did my son who is a student there ... so I did give him the cushion.                  

Photo #2 is a woolly hat - I knitted two while visiting my sister, one for DH and one for my youngest son. 

It's getting colder!

Our weekend was a rush - 7 hours drive followed by hours of checking out housing estates in the area we are moving to - dinner at an Indian restaurant (yummy) - trying to sleep to a bass beat comimg from somewhere deep inside the building next to the hotel - breakfast - more houses to look at - and another 7 hour drive home.
Being almost comatose Saturday evening resulted in our forgetting to turn our clocks back an hour, so we turned up to view the first house an hour early! The owners were out of their pyjamas and didn't mind our mistake. 
This morning we offered for a house we feel will be a good starting point for us - big enough for two and room for visitors. And 5 minutes ago we got the call - offer accepted!
