A Day To Count My Blessings and Ben and I Swap Places

Ben has spent many hours draped across various bits of furniture and laps and is now back on form.




He was trying to look hard done by but he had just come in from playing with a ball!

I am down with the dreaded sciatica again, it is my own fault, I have been very busy at work and lifted too much too many times.
I have a list of exercises and a heat pad, and no work for a while. I intended to finish at the end of the year so may just not go back. I will miss the people but as the atmosphere is so poor I will not repine.

I have a new follower, Vickie from More Stars in Comanche, she lives in Texas and has a band of four legged ranch hands. Pop over and have a look, it was winning her giveaway that got me my first Texas wild flower fabric, I have slowly added to it and will be cutting into it soon. Any way, glad to have you aboard Vickie, you are most welcome.
A quiet day, a little of my sewing done, photos tomorrow. No shopping, no cooking, We will have the rest of the Chicken Madras with some naan bread and Brinjal pickle.

I have started to clear another cupboard out and have a box of things for the charity shop. We have a good one in our local market town, it is not too pricey and is mainly used by local people. It supports a small cat rescue operation and I will drop off a box of cat food and some cat litter as well tomorrow.

I need to organise a shop for the food bank soon, rather than just take random stuff each week I have an arrangement that I pop in at the end of one month, see what they are running low on and then stock them up the next time they are open. I will see if they need things like Lem Sip and cough linctus, it is the time of year when most people lay some in, I have myself and the cost is prohibitive for anyone with a limited income.

Last time I lugged big bags of nappies from one of the cheapie shops, they were really cheap, it took 3 trips but was worth it.

Reasons to be grateful.

1. I may be in a bit of pain but I have heat and food.

2. I have dried goods, home preserves and frozen food for at least 3 months.

3. I have veg and fruit in store from the garden.

4. I have never gone without food so my children could eat.

5. I have a network of friends that I could call upon if I needed to.

I am one of the lucky rich!
