....well there was that visit to the police station....making my first police report ever....where my american english was quickly translated to scottish english....I wish I could remember all the phrases used, but....my head was in other places.
Bad News: All my money was stolen out of my hotel room!
Good News: I didn't have to deal with it alone....nice having an advisor and her husband around....I switched hotels (to a nicer one at that) and the hotel reimbursed me out of pocket for what I lost! PTL! and my passport was still there!
The whole event left me a little shaken and it was hard to focus after that, but there was much to be thankful for in the situation!
Hopf Link (for the math people)
Bad News: I lost my scarf....yes the one that I made the matching hat for....the day I found my money gone....we called around...it isn't to be found!
Good News: I'm a knitter! I can cope! Just an excuse to make a new one!
Bad News: Not much knitting got done on the trip. Most of this sock (it is the Leyburn pattern)
Good News: I got lots of math done! and found out I really like Lorna's Laces sock yarn!
Bad News: I hate jet lag!
Good News: My Austermann Step sock are out of time out and progressing quite well!
I love the Leyburn pattern - hopefully that's the next pair I'll make!
