Hi there Thanks for popping in. Just a quickie from Ward 21 Rm 21. Have had blood tests, X-rays and ultrasounds. Now we wait for the verdict. Does she get to go home tomorrow or does she get to hang out here a little longer? Or – and here we are really putting our positive pants on – does she get to go home today?? We shall have to wait and see… Quote of the day? it is never the…
Hi there Thanks for popping in, and thanks for all your love and good energy. It means more than you can imagine to feel your strong support. Do you believe in the power of collective energy? I do. I’m getting better for sure. Quite happy to lounge around here listening to a good book . I’m listening to North & South again, by Elizabeth Gaskell, read by Juliet Stevenson. Really worthy of a second read. I know the storyline, but…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. One day at a time, things are getting so much better. Yesterday the Doctor told me that if things continue as they are, and the infection levels continue to drop, I will be able to go home Tuesday! Woohoo! Then lovely Carron came and washed my hair, so I felt much MUCH better. All in all, so so much happier. The thing about being so ill is the rush of gratitude you experience when…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. One day at a time things are improving here, but I think it will take time. Quote for the day? It takes as long as it takes. I was thinking about that, and you and the SHAC. And I thought about how proficient we all got at drawing and colouring – primarily because we applied ourselves to those arty skill sets every single day. We couldn’t see the progress day by day, but because…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. It’s 5am. I cannot sleep because the drain in my back is extremely uncomfortable. But the lovely nurse Sangita (Beautiful eyes!) has just hooked me up to some pain meds, so that will calm down soon. I was lying here in the dark (single room ward) and I could hear a lady further up the corridor crying and groaning and wailing . Poor soul. It’s the waking hours, when the morphine/pain relief has stopped…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. When I opened the bedroom curtains early this morning, the sky was a beautiful pinky grey. Glorious. A room with a View. We actually have a wonderful collection of Room with a View dies, illustrated for us by our talented friend, Mel Turner. I love her work, and I particularly love this set. It reminds me of sitting on the bus from here to Brighton, and looking out over the South Downs from the…
Hi everyone, Paul here. I hope you are all well and enjoyed the Jubilee Celebrations. I’m currently up at the Create and Craft studios getting ready to launch a brand new One Day Special at 6pm this evening. Are you ready to continue your journey on the Groovi bus and enter to the world of lace/grid work? Then I hope you can join me this evening on the new Create and Craft at 6pm & 9pm where I will be…
Hi everyone, Paul here. I hope you are all well and had a good weekend. The weekend was a bit of a blur for me after Friday’s TV shows on the new Create and Craft. It was a very long day, left the house at 3am and with a few overnight road closures and diversions arrived just before 6am! Left the studio at 3pm and ran into all the normal Friday afternoon traffic and arrived back at the house just…
Hi everyone, Paul here. Don’t panic, I haven’t started writing in code! I thought I would shine a light on the additions to this weeks W.I.G.I.G (When It’s Gone, It’s Gone!)
