Catching Up

Where has the week gone, time is flying by.  Trekking over the moor three times this week is taking its toil and jobs are been left.  Tomorrow is another day, I am not going to stress out about minor details.  In the grand scheme of things, we are doing well and over a period of time some of the smaller jobs that need doing will indeed get done.  Gerard did have a minor set back with his blood pressure this week but we are hoping that a few adjustments to his medication will help.  He has also had a slight flare up of RA which is not helping.  Some of his medication has been stopped due to the heart medications.  We are seeing the rheumatology consultant on Tuesday so it is hoped that this will help.  We have no real plans for the weekend but if the weather holds maybe some little jobs in the garden may get done.

We have been a little late getting our seeds sorted and started but finally yesterday we made a vague plan of the things we wanted and started off several trays of seeds.  It is such a good feeling to know that very soon we will have a herb garden, albeit a very small one.  We have found someone to help with the work on the outbuildings so hopefully a start will be made soon.  Our dream to have an indoor garden, a craft room and woodwork room lives on and very slowly we are determined that we will fulfil this dream.

In all fairness there has not been a lot of waiting around at the hospital so the crochet projects planned have not all got done.  I have been working on some coasters to be used for gifts and are a very quick make.

The sun shining through the window is making shadows and giving a dappled light, disguising the true colour of the wool.  They will need to be blocked but overall are a very practical but decorative gift, which are fun to make and carry around.

A neighbour gave me a beautiful vase made locally at Borve (Borgh) pottery which is a delight to wander around, but I will share that for another post.  I have used it several times to hold fresh flowers and it does look magnificent on the dining table.

It is still a work in progress but I would like to make an arrangement using some of the things that I love buttons and tweed.  I am not sure how this will work out visually but I do have a very vague idea of what I want it to look like in my mind.  Time will tell...

I have been a little remiss catching up with you all this week but I am hopeful that I will be able to visit your blog and catch up with your news soon.  A warm welcome to new followers I sincerely hope you enjoy my little adventures through life.  As always I do thank you for your comments and emails it is always so uplifting to read them.  Wishing you a wonderful weekend.

See you soon.
