So, I am now over half done with my AS exams and am finished until after half term. Thank goodness for half term. I haven't done any revision for my second lot of exams. But I am not doing any work until at least Monday, probably Tuesday. I am so glad for the break. I suspect I will need to retake a few of them but I no longer care. I managed to sit the exams. That's enough to keep me happy for now.

Nothing much has happened really. Lots of exam stress and not much else as it has been rather all consuming. The upside of this is that the scarf I started knitting a few weeks back has grown a fair bit. It is now almost passable scarf lengthened! Although rather wide as I wasn't paying attention and accidentally cast on ten more stitches than I meant to and by the time I realised, I'd already knitted more than I was willing to unpick. This is not necessarily a bad thing. It can double up as a blanket when it is freezing in my house in the middle of winter.

I have also been reading a lot again! This is fantastic as I kind of lost interest a while back and couldn't read anything apart from 1930s detective stories where I could guarantee that the characters I was emotionally attached to wouldn't be harmed. I am branching out again now, mainly due to the wonder that is the main library in the centre of town. Pretty and colourful and hundreds upon hundreds of books and self checkout is so unbelievably awesome. Ahem. Yes. It's wonderful basically.

Congratulations on surviving exams so far! AS levels are truly horrible, there are so many of them... And it's definitely better to take some time off; working all the time is not good for your health.

Ooh, scarf sounds exciting. I miss knitting, haven't got around to buying wool. What does it look like? Huge scarves are especially cool - I have a friend who has a scarf that's about seven feet long and two foot wide. She calls it the Beast. It is very very cosy.

That's pretty much what I thought about the exams. My head's enough of a mess without adding even more in there!

The wool's variegated blue, purple and white. It's all lovely and snuggling, but I've still got a couple of feet to go before I'm done. Which shouldn't be too much of a problem as it's nowhere near scarf wearing season yet. And I'm hoping mine will be nice and cosy too!
