Oh Heck!!!

Thank you all for such lovely comments on my last post.

Well I feel like I have woken up in a blast furnace this morning it's so bloomin' hot. There were plans to wash down the cupboards in the kitchen but blow that for game of soldiers.......I think it will be a day in the sewing room with the fan on.

I have spent a lot of time in there the past few days and I think I can now say I am a crafter again with hot glue burns to prove it....lol. I had best stick to Hi Tack glue until my hands are less clumsy.

Trying to avoid going out as much as I can unless the stir crazies get bad. Shopping in a mask isn't for me....I've tried it and I feel so sick by the time I've done that there is no pleasure in it at all. I did go out the other day and I am sure you will be disgusted to know that I bought a Christmas present!!! It was a bargain too good to be missed and something we had planned on getting for Ruby. 

I am not planning on doing any more for a while.

Oh heck.......how are you all getting on with the new Blogger? I went on this morning and I have reverted to the old version until I have the patience to work it out. I do wish they would leave things alone.

The Doodles have been away on holiday for the last week and I am looking forward to a bit of Facetime tonight or tomorrow to hear all about it as connection hasn't been good while they have been away.

Right I shall go and get something done.

Bye for now.

Hello!!!

Well...it's been a long time since I managed a post.
What with one thing and another I haven't really felt up to either sharing the health problems I've been having or the boredom that has been lockdown.
That is slowly changing now that I have found myself able to sew again....not my cross stitch which is still beyond me but I have been sewing masks, tea towels. shopping bags and Christmas gift bag sets for all the family. 
I am so chuffed I've been able to do it without sewing my fingers together or cutting them off.

What have you all been doing to keep busy during lockdown?
Have you discovered new crafts to try or gone back to old favorites?

I must say that I am thoroughly sick of cooking and am looking forward to being confident enough to go out for a meal.
....and talking of cooking I had better go and check out the casserole we are having today....it smells just about ready.

I'll speak to you soon.

Still Here!!!

I'm still here.
Struggling a little with a touch of the black dog but I am not going to complain about that as I am so much better off than those who are suffering elsewhere here and across the world.

How are you all? How are you all coping with the lockdown?
I must admit that I am ready for everything to get back to normal as I have mostly been stuck at home since I came out of hospital at the beginning of March but it doesn't look like that is going to be anytime soon.

DD's office has been split into two groups working two days on and two days off and I can't get my head round it so when she is off I think it's the weekend. I just never know what day it is.....lol.

Sadly I can't do my cross stitch at the moment (I have tried and managed five stitches so far) so after a walk around the block I seem to spend much of the time watching ccokery and DIY programmes on Freeview. I think soon though I shall have to find something else to do as I am now starting to see repeats.

I wish you all a Happy Easter.

Good Morning!!!

Thank you all for such a warm welcome when I posted last week.

I had intended to post every couple of days but that proved to be a little harder than I expected. Who knew that just sitting at the computer typing would be so difficult? But a week on and I am still improving slowly....still a bit woolly headed and still weak on my right side but I have managed to cook with Andy's help and have managed to use a knife without injuring myself so that is something.

Anyway enough about me........how are you all coping being on lockdown? Are you all managing to get everything you need?
It's very scary isn't it. I hate not being able to see The Doodles but we talk on the phone regularly. I dread the phone bill when it next comes.

Right well I'll try not to leave it so long next time.
Stay safe.

Hello!!!

Good morning all my lovely blogging friends.
I just wanted to come on here to thank you all for your lovely messages when I was taken ill. 
I am getting better every day and can now walk again and have regained much of the use of my right hand side.
My speech is still affected and I still can't write but at least I can type....albeit it slowly.

I'm trying to read blogs but I can only manage one or two a day as find reading very tiring but I'll get there.

Anyway...I hope you are all staying safe and well in this crises and that you have everything you need.

Be back soon.
