::Half Term - It was all going so well::

:: All was going so well.

Half term week was ahead with all it's promises of finished blankets, wool winding sessions and family times, see it started really well here and here. Despite a cold and a cough, I had a lovely lunch out with my boys at Green's of Grassmere, then later in the week with my Hubby at the gorgeous Watermill cafe, and a pootle into the Wool Clip - the ladies behind Woolfest! I even bought me some glorius Blue Faced leicester from Cecelia and Jean.

:: It was all going so well.

I have nearly completed Little Em crochet granny square blanket, and watched the first two of the Lord of the rings trilogy, something I've attempted to do for some time, but never had chance to watch seven hours of film before in a oner!! Then, just when you should be careful what you wish for...

BAM!

Me coughs, colds, and viruses just don't get on very well. It's my asthma, doesn't like it when my airways are at all compromised, I can see that! (and feel it too!)

So once that feeling starts, and sometimes, (like this one, that didn't even creep up) it just HITS me with a PUNCH in the chest and a STAB in the lower right back lung region!!

:: So snuggly days ahead this week...

Doctors orders!! No talking, take my steriods, rest, sleep, drink lots, no talking (again), more steroids and keep warm -  Yes Ma'am!!

And my lovely hubby, well he bought me tulips!! He knows how to cheer a poorly girl up!

Oh no, poor you. But how splendid that you're determined to see it as an opportunity to snuggle and enjoy your hobbies. The rest of your half term DID seem to be going so well. Those pancakes look divine (particularly since I'm stuck under a sleeping toddler right now nearly hungry enough to eat that bit of my thumb that looks like a chicken drumstick) and I am so excited for you about your poncho project! Have you started yet? I loved Lucy's one too, and I got my mum one for Christmas. I also have some yarn and a knitting pattern ready on the shelf for when I have a girl to make it for (I love gender neutral clothes, but the yarn is QUITE pinkish and pastelly-I think Little R would be regretful in the future if I dressed him in it! )

Feel better soon, and until you do enjoy your enforced laziness!

Thanks Jen, I have some time to catch up on my projects- feeling lazy doesn't come naturally but I shall make the best of it despite sniffles, coughs and a multitude of tissues! Poncho yarn is ordered!! So exciting and yes, love Lucy's too. x

Aw poor you :( I hope you feel better soon. I love the yarn you've bought, what gorgeous colours!

Thank you Evelyn, I've just been winding it into balls, whilst resting of course, so feeling better at the sight of it already! Karen x
