Its been so long.  I am trying to get out of the habit of blogging when not well, although, as I never feel well that could explain the long silence!

I have discovered knitting.  Or should I say, re-discovered it.  I used to knit a lot when I was younger, mainly jumpers and cardigans for myself and the children.  I think it all tailed off when the children grew too old for home knitted stuff.  A book appeared at work courtesy of the "book man" who leaves a box of goodies for us to rummage through every month.  I tried to ignore it but it kept calling to me every time I passed the box.  Wild Animal Knits.  I gave in and that was that!  I had the idea I could knit the beasties and then hand them over to the Hospice for them to raise funds.  I put photos up on facebook and had a fair amount of interest, especially when I stupidly posted chicks up for £1 each just before Easter!  It has resulted in me sending a cheque to the Hospice, and I have had more orders.  Of course, I know peruse ebay, Amazon and other sites for wool, knitting books, patterns etc, and have spent a fortune on books and wools.  In fact, I am hooked, crazy and possibly obsessed!  My friends son and his wife are expecting their first baby soon, so I have diversified and knitted a baby cardigan.  It is soooo cute.  Oh dear, things are bad lol.

I think I will leave it there, I feel the rumblings of discontent wanting to bubble out.  Oh, on that point though, it would appear that my M.E may have been caused by the Hep B vaccine I had the month before the cloud descended, and not by the chest infection as I first thought.  Interesting.  Have done a fair amount of research on this subject.  Wonder if I can use it as CPR for my job?!

Ta ta for now chaps x
