I had no problem turning 30. It passed without worry or panic, but two weeks after I had had my birthday I woke in the night and sat bolt upright. All I could think of where on the 'Bath tub curve' by heart was. To those none engineers this means that any piece of equipment has a wear in and then an active life then a wear out period which on a graph looks like a bath tub. I couldn't think where on the graph my heart was after 30 years. I got over it, but can't help but thinking that at the age of 40 I have moved a substantial amount along that curve. Hang on, I am going to google 'bath tub curve' and see if I can post a picture. Don't go anywhere. Ok, I think you are best googling it yourself, not sure which one to post so I will leave it up to you.
Anyway, I am no longer worried about the 'Bath tub Cuve' I feel really good this year, like I want to take every opportunity that presents itself .Yesterday a string of events occurred that lead to me buying a violin. I love it, lessons start next week- I am not wasting any time.
My 'Mystery Mystery' is coming along nicely. It is not a Mystery blanket, but something else that I am not goingh to reveal just yet. I have my subject and have been busy designing. I cannot wait to share this with you once it is ready.I can tell you at this stage that it is going to be knitted in Rowan Cashsoft 4ply.
Back to being 40, just for a minute. When I turned 30 I really appreciated trees, mainly I couln't believe that something so big had just come from a seed. I would often stop to look at a good tree and really have a good think about how long it had been growing. Now I am 40 I have found a new love- birds. I have been watching Earth Flight in bed before I go to sleep, the main reason being I was hoping it would make me dream of being able to fly. So far I have dreamt about wrapping a crumbling christmas pudding and gate crashing someones wedding, neither anything to do with flying. I won't give up. I particularly like Flamingoes. No doubt I will be knitting one in the future. Ok, off for a piece of liquorice to eat in bed whilst watching Earth Flight. I do like barn owls too.
