It's almost bed time. The Open is on (The British Open-a golf tournament) and TV coverage started at 4:30am. I was up to watch and a bit of knitting got accomplished. I have 19 repeats done. I had to rip out two rows last night while watching Big Brother because I did them in the wrong colour. If I keep having to rip it will never get done. I need to hurry because clue #2 comes tomorrow.

This afternoon we went to Broadway at the Beach to go to WonderWorks (the upside down house). Unfortunately the line was huge and they said it would be at least 40 minutes before we could buy our tickets. I don't do lines so we promised Jess that we would take her next summer. She was okay with it when she knew that we were bringing her back again.

Broadway sits on a man made lake that is surrounded by many restaurants and stores.

Very exciting news that gets my knitting content in for today.
