knitting & The Barras

Had a really good clinic session today, got to pretty much run a clinic. Was much more fun and challenging compared with just sitting through. And the ward rounds here are much more relaxed - meaning more time to absorb and learn stuff. And with full use of library facilities, its good :)

And special mention to my regular commenter - i love reading ur comments! and other readers, do leave somthg; its good to know that my posts are being read! Will serve to remind me to keep at this too.

Went over to the Barras market last sunday - its about 500+ 'stalls' both indoors and outdoors, operating specially on weekends. At first it didnt look too impressive, but soon realised that these stalls were a real tresure trove of antiques, collectibles of all kinds and pretty much everything else. From teacups to books (novels, bibles,old old books on planes etc etc) to meat to fruits to wool to garments to watches to bags to even violins! It really was like being on a tresure hunt and most of these are a good deal cheaper (for they are mostly 2nd hand). A pity that I couldnt get all the collectibles I wanted; had to settle for a few paperbacks. But, Ive decided to pick up knitting! Got my first knitting needles and 2 rolls of knit material (for lack of a better word, pardon me) all for 3 pounds. And I am proud to report that my scarf is about 1-10th done. :) Aim is to finish it by next week! Much thks to J for being our knitting teacher (now that job needs a lot of patience & repetition).
