All things great and small..

..have happened. Today was my First Day of School - well, actually, just the first meeting and info session, as the studying happens 99% in the comfort of my own home since it's virtual/multi-form/selfstudy kinda thing.
So far so good - this particular line of study seems like a right choice, and I think the self-studying will go quite well, as we are all adults here and know how to share our time between work and play and don't end up watching TV, or reading knitting blogs, when we are supposed to be studying and taking part in virtual lectures, right? RIGHT??!

A little piece of news caught my eye last week (and again today), about Bob Dylan. He was caught by the police lurking around some people's house - when actually he was only being curious about a house on sale and spending his free time before going on stage with Willie Nelson (talk about sweet harmony of voices there...). The 20-something cops did not recognize this legendary poet, and it took the personnell of his tour to ensure them that yes, this man really is mr Dylan and haven't you really heard about all his accomplishments and tens of albums... Poor Bob. Being a celebrity has seldom been easy for him.
(If he would just try to be a bit more nice - like smile in concerts and let people photograph him and such....)

What else.... hmm.... oh, knitting!
I've finished another "Thermis" cowl already, and tomorrow will hopefully see the starting of "Rosamund's Cardigan" from the latest IK. Pics will follow, so stay tuned...
