HIMP day 3

A fun activity this afternoon, to learn about Lean.  We were split into two teams and were assembling a "widget" of sticker dots on paper.  The other team was much more efficient, but we nearly caught up by the end...  It was a welcome change from the financial training over the last couple of days.

I'm ready to head home soon though - it's been a long 3 days so far and I'll be glad to be home tomorrow evening.  A long journey, but that'll be it for a while now.

I've still not picked up my knitting while I've been here... when I'm back in my room I end up going online to keep in touch with the world instead.  I'll have to work fast when I'm back home to be ready by the 9th...

Growing, completing and experimenting

1. Exciting news this morning from a colleague who's looking forward to a new arrival
2. Managed to complete what I need for tomorrow morning, without having to bring anything home this evening
3. Experimented in the kitchen this evening, to make a spicy sausage casserole from various bits and pieces.  It turned out yummy :o)

weekend plans

On my own this evening... Andrew's gone to visit his brother for the weekend... so I'm watching too much tv.  I really should go to bed though - I'm incubating a cold and some sleep might be a good idea.

My weekend plans have changed a bit though

• my hairdresser has cancelled for tomorrow
• setting off for Sweden early on Monday (not Sunday evening)
• maybe going to go shopping in Carlisle tomorrow if I feel inspired
• I'm in Andrew's car too - probably not the best weather for driving with the top down...
• definitely looking forward to 2 mornings when I can sleep in :o)

it's been a long week...

...and I'm ready for the weekend :o)

We had a lovely evening with friends on Tuesday

• pizza, choccy and Wii

I finished the first fingerless mitt on Wednesday

Brewery tour and dinner with customers yesterday

Ginger cake baked this evening, ready for Sam and Emily's engagement party tomorrow

...looking forward to seeing our friends tomorrow afternoon

anticipation

1. 4-day week this week - that means tomorrow is virtually Friday!
