We’ve started having knitting sessions in my flat! One of my flatmates already knew how to knit and I recently taught another one. So we’ve been sitting around knitting and chatting and listening to music, instead of watching gossip girl, like we had been before. I’ve started working on a new fingerless mitten (“Susies Reading Mitts” if you want to look them up on Ravelry) and it is beautiful.
Last night I made myself a sweet and sour chicken stir fry, which had a billion different vegetables in it, along with noodles. It was quite good and we had a bunch of spring rolls to go along with it.
Wow, I really have nothing interesting to say. Sorry. And I really should be doing my reading for class. A couple new pictures are up on flickr, so hopefully you’ll be happy?
OH, and an addition to the “cute things English people say”:
“fair do” – a response to something somebody says. Sometimes also said as “fair play”. I think this one can only be understood in the context of a conversation.
Example conversation:
“I didn’t go to my class today!”
“Fair play. I didn’t go either”
Example conversation 2:
“I enjoy eating slugs!”
“Fair do.”
I can’t figure out if “fair do” and “fair play” are synonymous, because only certain people say “fair do” (I think only people from Essex say “fair do”, at least those are the only people I’ve heard it from). “Fair do” seems to be said more often when the other person has said something strange or unusual, like in the example above. “Fair do” seems to mean more of “whatever suits you”, or something.
Also:
“Can’t be asked” is synonymous with “can’t be bothered”.
