Normal services (almost) have been resumed

At last the anti-inflammatory drugs have kicked in and I'm able to be a bit more productive.
There are certain things that I'll be wary of for a while but (yippee!!) I can make things again!

Dull, dull, dull . . .

. . . on oh so many levels!

Yes, the met office was right and we're back to rubbish weather but that's not the biggest source of misery.

I have given myself a crochet injury (that's right, crochet!) and am typing with my left hand while waiting for my diclofenac to kick in. So, a week of much pain and almost nothing else. The doctor says rest – easy for him to say when I know that, at the very least, I have to cook and keep the kids in clean school clothes (try lifting a full pot with your weak arm or hanging a washing with only one hand).

Major frustration has set in since my head is full of new projects I should be progressing!

Gloom, gloom, doom and gloom . . .
