Popping by


Just popping by for a quick hello and to apologise for my absence. I've had a humdinger of a cold and, on top of that, eye infections too. I didn't leave my pyjamas or a horizontal position for 4 days and am still recovering. Yesterday I left the house for the first time to walk to the shop for milk and had to have a lie down in the afternoon. Today I had a slow walk in the sunshine, desperate for some vitamin D, and am still vertical though flagging.

To stave off complete boredom I've been working on my crochet blanket which is growing nicely (66 rows out of a target of 90), and reading Pioneer Woman, which is by the blogger/TV cook of the same name and tells the story of how she met her cowboy husband - a nice, easy read which is about all my brain can handle at the moment.

Hoping to be back soon with a ta-dah and to also get back to visiting you and your blogs. Take care. x

  1. You will love the book - I hope! - I did! I on the other hand am loving your blanket!! It looks fantastic and is just the thing to work on when you are not feeling your best as you can work and snuggle at the same time, or just stop working and snuggle! I really hope that you are feeling much better again very soon as it is not nice having the ickies at this time of year. Take care of yourself! xx

  7. Hey maybe you got what K and I had. Haven't read Ree but am in middle of The Bucolic Plague, How Two Manhattanites Became Gentlemen Farmers. It has me in stitches plus the home they bought is one I coveted going back and forth to college. They are also know as the Beekman Boys and have a web site I think Beakman 1802. Check it out when you get a chance.
    Hope you feel better.

  8. Hope you're feeling better soon. 66 rows is impressive - I'm on row 34 and every time I see another blanket, I try and work out which bit I'm up to in comparison by working out the colour combination. It's nice to see what I have to look forward to :-)
