SEX at the SECC

Was at the SECC today and met up with Fiona, Catherine and Mhairi from the SnB. We had knitting with us but didn't get any done - too busy having SEX (stash enhancement experience).

I spent a FORTUNE (that isn't a knitting acronym - just a big load of money spent on wool and stuff). But I also made some contacts for the shop so I feel it was money well spent. (Just in case TB reads this!) Got contacts for Jamie Possum and New Lanark wools. The Jamie Possum wool is a mixture of Merino and (have you guessed yet?) Possum and comes all the way from New Zealand via Kilbarchan. Gonna knit a hat .. or gloves .. or a scarf .. or something with it. The New Lanark wool I got is pure wool and I would like to have it in the shop because it is spun locally (er .. Hamilton is in Lanark - shire plus I was born in Lanark which isn't New Lanark but ... oh stop now and put in a link).

So I nearly didn't have any SEX - can you feel a story coming on? Called in at the garage on my way to the SECC. Filled up with petrol, got some goodies and went to pay. What did I have? No purse. Rid neck. Delved into bag to hunt out emergency £20 note, into pocket for car-park money (£3.50. Yes, £3.50! Always keep it in pocket in case I over-indulge) and found some snash in bag and just made it. Thank you for not being completely empty you lovely little petrol tank you or I would have been most embarrassed. Back home for purse and into SECC. Thank Goodness I had to go for petrol though, I would have been really embarrassed if I had got there and zilch in the pot! What would have been the point of going and just window shopping - I was there for SEX!

Anyway, after we had lunch (mm tuna salsa melt and coffee - oh and I had also forgotten my insulin which I didn't notice when I went back for my purse but I did notice that there was a Diabetes UK conference going to be on there - hah! an omen?) the consensus was that it was all over bar the shouting. Stood up to go and put bags in car before checking out the wee hall and one last look at the big hall and - eeeek! leg thing!!! So, I hirpled out to the car dragging my leg behind me and like a sensible person I got in the car and went home. But wait ... I am not a sensible person. Put the bags in the car and dragged my leg all the way up to the middle of the SECC, limped around the wee hall which was really busy and full of card-making stuff in which I am not at all interested and should have known better than to go there anyway, limped back up to the big hall and went round there again then headed for home.

My leg is now gowping like a really gowping thing! Anyway, there was a display of a knitted garden and I got a picture of it so I will post that tomorrow.

Met half of my customers there, btw, so I guess it will be quiet this week. We will all be recovering from SEX at the SECC. lol

Catch y'all later.
