BAD NEWS AND GOOD NEWS AND BAD NEWS AND GOOD NEWS

1. I sat down this morning to upload pictures from the weekend, and my camera battery is dead. Luckily my friend Esther sent me a few of the Swiftsure finish line, and I'm sure she won't mind if I use them here (thanks, Esther!)



2. I got a call on the weekend from an old friend who has beat cancer THREE TIMES -- she was coming to Victoria for radiation treatment. :-( Michele has been a warrior in the best sense on many levels and nothing short of a medical miracle for the past 7 years. There is no correlated good news for this item, except that I'll make a point of going to visit her as soon as I can get up-Island...
3. Since the restaurant where the FibreFest Fashion Show is held CLOSED overnight two weeks ago (on the DAY that the posters and programs were going to the printer, I might add!), I have been madly scrambling for another venue for 60 folks to have a dinner -- not an easy task four weeks out, in the month of grads, weddings and Father's Day. But yesterday I finally found a GREAT place (a two-level 'ballroom' at Harbour Towers, for you locals!) so today I have to scramble to get the printing finalized, the tickets delivered to Knotty by Nature, and the press release out! Check out this great space .... lots of room for displays, change area, sound system in place already -- what a goldmine, I'm SO happy!

And knitting has happened, which you'd see if only I could upload the photos. Tomorrow....
