Happy Days!

Phew, some sunshine at last!  after the winter we had it's lovely to see the big round yellow ball in the sky!

Those in the UK will know that we have to make the most of it because it changes so fast, lol.

I want to thank all you lovely people who stopped by and left get well messages for me and my foot, and my mother too!   Mum is OK, on medication, for life now to thin her blood, but is being monitored at the hospital, she has to have a 24 hour ECG monitor on the 20th and go about her normal daily activities so they can get a more accurate reading.  I think she was really frightened on that Sunday though.
Oh, someone asked the question, how we managed to get locked in mums house, well there is a deadlock on the door and my sister turned the key all the way round and apparently that puts the deadlock on and when we shut the door it wouldn't open again.   I know mad, and how mum has managed to never do it i don't know, something we will really have to get changed.

My cast came off and they decided that the break wasn't as bad as first thought, it was near my big toe, so no need for a cast, just keep my foot elevated as much as possible.  The swelling went down after a few days and i was able to get a shoe back on again.  I went back to work on Tuesday (I'm only sitting at a desk anyway)  I did learn a few things whilst in plaster with my foot up -

1. getting around on crutches or with the aid of a stick is much more difficult than it looks!! 

2.  Some people i work with who i considered as friends are only work colleagues, (with the exception of one), not one of them phoned me to see how i was or what I'd done.

3. My off spring are capable of doing household chores and cooking, and if left to get on with it make a very good job of it:-)

4. DH on the other hand is completely hopeless at either of the things in #3,  he is however good at supplying endless cups of tea :-)

5. When the cast is off and everyone can see that you are mobile again no one puts their hands up for chores!

Last Friday was the start of my Sampler Game Board SAL with Judy and seeing i had plenty of time to sit on my butt and stitch i made good progress

Don't panic Judy, i don't always stitch this fast, I'm sure you will overtake me before long :-)

I put quite a lot of stitches into Little House Neighbourhood too, but you will have to take my word for it because i didn't take a photo.

I was going to end with a couple of photos of my feline babies enjoying the sun, but now I've uploaded one photo, blogger won't let me do any more (why?? , do i now have to upload all the photos I want to share in one go???)

There are a couple on my photo blog (of Molly) if you want to look...go on, no one has been to visit me there in a while :-(

Until next time, have a good weekend x
