T'is me, I'm back

My absence was painful but necessary, everything is sorted but I have missed you all.
So much was whirling through my head, and my fingers (cue spinning) that a total ban on the 'puter was the only way.
It worked.

Now, as much as I would like to play catch up it will probably not happen. I will dip in and out of my blog list but that will have to suffice. There are only so many hours in the day.

The only part of my day to day "stuff" that has been neglected is the garden, by the weekend i hope to have rectified that situation.

I did a trolley dash round Tesco yesterday late afternoon, the shop was almost empty, and I had my list and mostly stuck to it.
I did snaffle some blocks of Cheddar RTC, now safely grated and tucked away in the freezer, for a steal of a price......£2 a kilo. I also grabbed some bags of Cinnamon and Raisin Bagels for the SO (my rock) for 40p. I do make loaves like this but he does like a Bagel for breakfast every now and then.

I am missing Francesca but she will be back at the end of the month. I like to jazz up her room for each visit, it will be too late for a Maypole but I will think of something. A wander round Home Bargains may give me some ideas that I can steal copy from what I have in the sewing room.

I am a bit bleary eyed this morning, to cap it all I am in the middle of a sciatica session, my body wakes up as usual but the mind takes a little longer to kick off the painkiller induced fog.
I hate taking them but it is that or no sleep. My medication review went like a breeze and it will be a year before the next one.

I will take a photo of my new to me spinning wheel later, once I can focus, and the Q A Y G quilt blocks that have saved my sanity. Shutting myself in the sewing room and completing a block each day has kept me from tearing my hair out. It will be a gift (tomorrow fingers crossed) for a friend and neighbour.

Why does spellcheck insist that I should use the US "neighbor"? If it is such a "knowitall" then why can it not tell that I am in the UK?

Spinning has been neglected, I did manage the meeting on Tuesday but had to leave early, I just could not concentrate on hands and feet at the same time. There was not enough room in my conscious 
mind for it all, sewing was the easiest option, many years of muscle memory I went on to automatic pilot.

I have to get creative with some Haslet for the SO tonight, not one of my favourite foods by any stretch of the imagination, he really likes it. I do not think that slapping it on a plate with some salad will cut the mustard. I may combine it with something and use to fill a jacket potato, or perhaps a Hash would work better. He likes both of those so we will see. he is working extremely hard at the moment and deserves a treat.

I have kept up with the house, there is a small load of washing for later but that is it, I nearly forgot that I ought to whisk a damp cloth round the staircase, all those fancy curves seem to attract the dust like iron filings to a magnet. I have one of those mitts with a smooth side and a "shag pile" reverse side, a light spray with my vinegar solution and 2 shakes of a lambs tail and job,s a goodun.

Now I think that it is definitely Tea o'clock so I must leave you to get a brew on.


It's good to be back.
