FM
I'm having a really tough time at the mo with pain and exhaustion. Its all in my neck and upper back,radiating to my jaw and face. its a bleeping nuisance.Infact I've lost another day in bed yesterday which I hate and I can feel a sleep coming on again today. Grrrr!!

Books
I'm reading Mrs Dalloway at the mo.Its O.K but I preferred Stella Gibbons Cold Comfort Farm.Its very funny. 2 very different books.One about depression and suicide and one about living life to the fullest.

sadly neglected blog

Its ages since I blogged but life has been a tad rough of late.
Firstly my lovley Mum passed away on 26th June. we all miss her very much indeed.

At the end of August Sam was 21. we had a lovely weekend celebrating but of course it was bitter sweet as it was the first family celebration without Mum.

Then its been jewish holidays which have been hard for us too without her.

knitting
I'm knitting plain socks for Mr Cinders ,finally in one of my yarns, Its merino/nylon sock yarn-colourway-TabbyCat. its coming along slowly but surely.
I gave up on that doll I was knitting, one day I'll finish it,but toy knitting isnt my fortay. I hate sewing up so little piddly bits that need to be sewn together frequently just aint my thing! give me a large, all in one cardi-no sewing at all.
Actually |I've been a ridiculously slow knitter this year.I think I've finished one item!! I'm slowly getting back into the swing of things and as per usual I have a very long list of things to knit and lots of yarn to do it with! I have a mounting pile of 'seconds',yarns I wont sell after dyeing which I will one day get round to using.



On the Fibro front

Well summer is well and truly over. The joys of my body in the boiling heat of our holiday in Turkey are long forgotten and surprise,I'm in pain again! its gone into my neck and shoulders. Very annoying. I have had a permanent headache for weeks from my neck now and this week I lost 3 days to pain, migraine and exhaustion. very annoying. It just frustrates me. i've altered my messages settings so hopefully I wont get those irritating spam posts about chronic pain. One was in greek!!!

Shop
I'm busy dyeing ltos of yarns and have lots of lovely updates so keep a look out. I'm also going to get a BCF fan group going on rav when I figure out how so if you want to be in it let me know.
I'm also partaking in the Fibreholics box on Ravelry too so watch out for my yummy little samples.

Books

I have read a few excellent books since last blogging- amongst them
The Lacuna-by Barbara Kingsolver and Stephen fry's first Biography-Moab is my washpot. I've requested his new one for my b/day
