I have realised that my forte, when it comes to the old knitting, is not actually in finishing things. In fact, I have no forte, because I'm not actually that good at it, but I do enjoy it. What I mainly like, though, is starting things. The rest I can take or leave.

Trouble is, though, I'm quite rubbish at reading patterns, or indeed instructions of any kind. Take tonight, for instance. The pattern said 'garter stitch' so I went and happily knitted 7 rows of stocking stitch. That took me half an hour! (They were long rows, all right.) I know this, because the podcast of Russell Brand's BBC 6 radio show is half an hour long, and at the end of that is when I realised I was going to have to rip the whole thing back and start again. Yes, all right, it's only seven rows. But that was half an hour out of my day! I don't have many half hours in the day that aren't taken up with trying really hard not to kick C the typist in the head. See?

I think that I'm pretty much perfectly fine with Billie Piper leaving Doctor Who at the end of this series (I typed all that the first time round using the word 'season'. Fandom is an Americany place sometimes). I do like Rose, but ... hmm. Last series I really liked Rose. Aw, I would have been sad, I would. Now, I'm all, ok. Fun to see what happens next! Interesting. I suppose I was a bit shippy about Rose and Nine, not to mention kind of weird and obsessed generally, but now... perhaps I'm just back to default Doctor Who enjoyment mode. Or something. And that's good. Oh, but I forgot! I suddenly realised - does that mean no Jackie? *whimper* And to think, I didn't even like Jackie to start with. Perhaps she'll be the new companion, haha? Also, of course Rose isn't going to die. That would be ridiculous. She will go home and be happy and fulfilled or I shall be very cross!

You must forgive me, I didn't read any of that back to myself, so it probably makes no sense.

Other things: no other things as they would all be whiney and boring.
