Being in the Wars

Well we’ve had a few weeks of strangeness starting with John and a nosebleed. Not just any nosebleed of course. His has to involve blood vessels well up into the sinus cavity and being on two types of blood thinners. Then there was the no response from 111, 999 having a 4 hour minimum ambulance…

April Round Up

I've been meaning to write a blog post for ages but just haven't done it. I thought I'd better try and do one before the end of the month at least. First a quick round up of Crochet-a-Longs and Stitch-a-Longs. The Stitching Cabin Nordic Winter SAL is now up to band 4. I'm using a…

Spring is Springing

As I'm sure you can imagine most time this past month has been taken up with Gwyn. Teaching her the basics before she knows different is quite a chore. She has tried the pre wash cycle already. At the beginning of the month I signed up to Laura Kemshall's 31 days of Art Journaling. I…

Long Time No Blog!

First of all very, very belated Happy New Year!! Which started for us with our usual sunrise dog walk on the first day of the year. Yes we're still here and doing ok! Thank you for the messages especially concerning John and his treatment. We did the full thing of hospital PCR tests, isolating and…

December Almost There

I managed to finish off the last of the silk thrums with two more bowls and a couple of placemats. What I was most happy about is that a good sized carrier bag of stuff just sitting in the way is now used up and useful!! Well I had the smallest amount left which went…

A Catch-up Round-up.

These past couple of months have been extremely hard. Having to make the decision for Ellie when she was still so bright in herself nearly totally broke me. John is still struggling with balancing his meds to have some sort of life. Breathing is often quite a challenge for him especially first thing in the…

On to November!

Oh my! Where did October go? Mind you, if I spend a little time looking back through, it was a good month. John and I spent a lot of time pottering around, slower than normal, starting to put the garden to bed for the winter, always quite a long chore anyway. We have some huge…

October the Beginning

In a fuel shortage we have probably clocked up more miles these past few weeks than ever! There has been a long list of hospital appointments for both of us. My physio is coming along great and I'm actually feeling the improvements. John has been doing well until the breathlessness started to become a problem.…
