A short entry today, I had planned to be in the garden and keep generally busy but my body had other ideas. A shame as it was a perfect day for gardening! Before nine when I was doing some household chores something gave in my right ankle and I couldn’t weight bear! Very inconvenient, when the initial pain subsided I managed to get upstairs, took pills and put on an ankle support. I am now able to walk slowly and carefully but am still aware there is a problem. Just as well I didn’t feel like doing the exercises this morning as I would have convinced myself they were doing me more harm than good. I thought I would write some letters at my lovely desk but only managed one and the carpel tunnel meant my hand was numb! It would be funny if you were watching it on the tv. It is funny in fact and I managed to drop the ink cartridge from the pen and it blotted the letter I had written, so much for using fountain pens....
Anyway, I have spent a good part of the day finishing the Mummy jigsaw, it was quite tricky but fun and well worth the £1 I paid for it.
The other night I drew a simple design in my nice new blue book to transfer onto some plain material and practice with the machine.
I have transferred it now so maybe tomorrow I will have a go at sewing it.
Going to take a slow walk to Sarah and David’s this evening, used to visit them regularly before Covid. Luckily they live just down the road.
Definitely not a good start to the day. But looking on the bright side, if there is a bright side, it kept you from slaving away in the garden again. Seriously though it’s a damn nuisance. You’re rapidly running out of limbs that work properly! Doesn’t sound like the letter writing went much better. Maybe you should stick to pencils from now on 😊
ReplyDeleteThe jigsaw looks nice now it’s finished. I bet it wasn’t that easy. There’s a lot of bits in there that look the same as a lot of others!
Hopefully the ankle would’ve sorted it self out a bit by tomorrow, but a sewing day rather than a gardening day sounds much better.
Enjoy your visiting this evening.
I enjoyed doing the puzzle and I think it is a great image.
DeleteThe ankle is feeling easier to fingers crossed it won’t be too bad tomorrow.
The rain hasn’t his us yet, it was spitting a while ago.
