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
