A Week Of Flu

February arrived with warnings of a February freeze, I am hoping that the weather forecast is wrong and that we will be comfortable with the long drives that we are anticipating.  Although there is still no news of a date for completion, the majority of the packing is complete.  There is another couple of boxes for the charity shop and some furniture to be collected that we no longer need.  There is some garden rubbish that needs to be taken away and some plant pots that need to be sorted.  It has been a damp and miserable week so there has been no great enthusiasm to work outside.  The workshop has been sorted but not packed and the shed still remains on the list of things to do.  A start has been made on cleaning the rugs, there is only the large lounge one left to do.  I am hoping that I will be able to do that at the weekend.  Sadly I have had a week nursing a horrible flu like virus which has left me quite weak so I have no nice craft projects to share as I have spent most of the week in bed.  I am going to take things easy today and hopefully by tomorrow I will be able to potter a little.   We have been browsing properties on the internet and have come up with a possible eight so far that we would like to view, exciting times.  We are beginning to feel a little impatient but remind ourselves of the quote all good things come to those that wait.  At this time of year we are usually planning our garden so it seems a little strange not to be doing that.  Victoria took some pots with her at the weekend so we know that those will be cared for and loved.  We are looking forward to planning out a new garden, and learning from those around us what grows best.  I have started to research the Island of Lewis with regards to events and find there is a lot of activities that I would be happy to join in with.  I say again exciting times, let the adventure begin...
