Well, I’ve been a pathetic little pile of headachy silliness for a few weeks now but I finally trotted off to the doctors on Monday to be told I have a virus. Do doctors just say that when they have no idea what is wrong? He’s told me to take it easy for a few days and yesterday I spent all day snoozing gently on the sofa and half-watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer season 7!
I’ve really wanted to do some knitting but I knew that I wouldn’t be able to concentrate on it (or that it might make my headache worse!) so I haven’t touched my needles since Sat. This is why I’ve gone all quiet on the Gretel and Sophie front. I have to finish them soon though because my local friendly lys has informed me that my Sublime Cashmere silk aran for my Snow White top has arrived! Yippee!! I definitely have to get that finished before the weather gets too warm.
Did everyone here in the UK feel the earthquake last night? Here in Sheffield we had a right little tremor! Everything rattled and fell off my nightstand. Even the wardrobe rattled and moved! My sis is in Dronfield though and she didn’t feel it so much – she’s probably got a better built house! At least no one was hurt too badly in the UK. Also there were no yarn related traumas to speak off – a few disturbed balls of wool that’s all!
Now I’m trying to decide what to do today. I had planned on Monday to go to Darley Dale out in the Peak District to take some nice pics and visit Heirs and Graces, a lovely little knitting and patchwork shop. Am a bit headachy again though so not sure it’s a good idea. I can’t over do it either – I have my sewing class tonight and being all tired and poorly is not fun at 8pm!
(Coming soon – more eco yarns reviews! I spent much dinero last week!)
An earthquake and a virus…
