Resettling
. . .
I have had a few busy weeks most enjoyably spent looking after
Frankie. It’s strange how unsettling two or three days away from home every
week can be.
Add to that the worry we had over Isla who contracted an
e.coli infection and spent a few traumatic days in hospital. She is much better
now but seems prone to infection. Having said that, Frankie has had a cold for
several weeks and a sickness bug that comes and goes . . . and comes again. Who’d
be a baby?
However, I have managed to knit rather a lot – two tank tops,
a cardigan, two hats and two pairs of mittens for Frankie, a scarf for Susannah
with a hat and mittens to follow (nearly
finished the mittens) a cardigan, hat and mittens for my great
granddaughter Isla, and wool to make another tank top for Frankie (anybody would think the poor child didn’t have
any clothes!) a scarf and crocheted hat for Bethan, a tank top for Barry
and I’ve still got a tapestry half-finished – more than one, if I’m painfully
honest. I’ve also got a book to edit, and two more to complete and an article to
write for the Ocicat Muse to feature the Brothers Three.
No wonder we sometimes don’t get out for our walk until it’s
nearly dark!
I’m a great starter – not such a great finisher. Maybe I
should get up in the wee small hours when I can’t sleep and try to accomplish
something then . . . oh, hang on, I couldn’t possibly do that – it would
disturb the cats!
