My medical issues relating to colon cancer, colorectal surgery, ileostomy, parastomal hernia etc.
The downward spiral In 2020 we longed for the normality of 2019. In 2021 we thought that perhaps 2020 hadn’t been so bad after all. “Three weeks to flatten the curve”? Hmm. The majority are ruled by fear and are willingly giving up their basic freedoms and submitting to totalitarianism. However, for the…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? The Grand Clear Up Continues In the far corner (the sewing area, to the right of the display area), I have now cleared the top shelf and put some display items out. I've also put some of my pictures up on the main display area. The lower…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Kitty throw A milestone! I felt really chuffed as I joined in the final square at the bottom right of the blanket - the one with our initials in a heart. Imagine a fanfare. All the squares are now joined, and the blanket itself is complete. I…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? The kitty throw is growing! Five columns of squares joined. Six columns joined. Seven columns joined. It is now getting pretty big and heavy to work on! The only time I can work on it is when my hubby is out for a good length of time,…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Don't worry, the week hasn't been as bad or exciting as this blog post's title might suggest. Actually it's been quite dull and I haven't got as much to report as usual, as it's been quite a quiet week apart from usual busy-ness in the kitchen, and…

What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Same thing as last week - squares for the kitty throw! I decided to do a different style of square, working back and forth rather than in the round, following a graph design of a kitty face. Here is the design I made. My first attempt was…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Still working at squares for the kitty throw. Nothing new to show really, but I'm on the home stretch with the squares, and I've got quite a full bag of them now. I've got to make 80 in all, and then it's on to the kitty appliqué…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Cat throw My new wool has arrived, and I am very pleased with it. It seems to be nice and soft, and of good quality. My hubby said he wasn't very impressed with the standard of packing, and I had to agree! However, the contents were fine.…
Well, what can one say about 2020? So much has been said already so I'm not going to say anything! - at least, about national and world events which I actually do have a great deal to say about, but this is not a political blog. I shall stick to my own personal…
