Just A Little Update...

Thank you for all your lovely comments and concern about my toothache.  I am actually feeling a whole lot better now that a course of antibiotics have kicked in.  It is all a little disconcerting as I need to have two teeth removed which means some work.  With the holiday now in sight only 13 more sleeps as the girls would say, it is difficult to decide when to have some of the treatment done.  I am at the dentist again on Friday so maybe just see what they suggest.

A quiet weekend was spent, catching up with a little TV and magazines relaxing so not a lot to report.  I did have a stroll around a local car boot sale on Saturday but came back with nothing, which is unusual for me.  No treasure was found, even the vegetables were not in abundance as in other weeks, so we had to call in at the Farm Shop on the way home for the vegetables for the week.  I intend to do some extra cooking this week so that we have some meals to return to after our holiday.  I am preparing for the inevitable jet lag that occurs whenever I go to America.  Whilst I haven't packed it is all laid out ready.

We did have a panic, whilst sorting out all the holiday documentation our international driving licences are out of date.  Consequently, a trip to Boston was needed to renew them, our Post Office does not offer the service.  There is always a downside to rural living.  We are now up to date and all our documentation is ready to go. 

I have been on the hunt for some red Arran wool for blankets that I want for Wilbur and our new baby Grandson but to no avail, every colour but the one I want.  I have finally managed to track some down at a store in Skegness so I am on my way out to collect it.  I really must have a go at ordering things on line, it would make my life so much easier.  Any suggestions for a reputable company that I can order yarn online with would be welcomed.

I will be back with a crafting update soon.

See you soon.

  1. I hope your teething problems are sorted out before your holiday. For online yarn shopping I use Deramores and Love Knitting. Both are very efficient and have unlimited choice of yarns.

  9. If I was in your neighborhood with my car, I could have a boot sale! The back end is filled with donations I am taking to Goodwill! Take care :)

  13. I would give yourself a good two and a half weeks to recover from teeths, I had four wisdom teeth out (and a bit of jaw as the back cusps were imbedded in it). Make sure you stay on top of antibiotics . Get some orajel its fab for numbing. Hope its not too bad for you!

  14. I hope that all your tooth pain subsides before your holiday. Tooth pain is truly horrible and in my opinion, childbirth is the only comparable pain I have felt. I would also like to congratulate you on your new grandson. A new blanket, made especially by a loving grandmother, will prove to be a keepsake that will last a lifetime.

  15. When you go back to the dentist, if I were you I would try to get it over with as soon as possible. Not because you were in pain, only because the thought of waiting for the work to be done just adds more stress into your life that you do not need. Get it over with so you can focus on the future.

  16. While antibiotics were able to help with the pain, it is a good thing you are going to follow up with your dentist. They will be able to see if there is something more serious that needs immediate attention. Better to catch it early than let it go and wind up needing a dental procedure to fix the underlying trouble.
