Knit Your Square to Give Your Share - PART 4

mioliere

Thanks, Ginnyknit; you'll know what it's like for my sister. Grandchildren do have a remarkable effect, don't they? Hope your OH has a good day today.

Mrs Moneypenny - I'll take hug today, thanks, but please give one of mine to Lily - how is she doing?

Well, it seems that my Mum has won this year's first Olympic medal (I know it was only a skittles match in the residential home, but it's still a medal, and the match was Olympic-themed!), and things seem to be going quite well.

I've got lots of work to do today, but I will try and get a couple of half hour sessions out in the blazing sunshine we have here. I see from the UK forecast that you are all enjoying the same weather, which is wonderful.

My wheezy chest has gone, and I think I know what the culprit was; the farmers here have been hay-making day and night for the last few days, and the dust from that has been flying around everywhere. They didn't do any yesterday, and I've been much better. I know I can't do anything to stop them - they have to 'make hay while the sun shines', and I wouldn't dream of saying anything, but I'll be prepared next time I hear the machines start up!

Anyway, back to work, I suppose.

I hope you all have a good day.

Morning all

Sun has vanished, but it's still warm!
Off work for the rest of the week - Dh brought me a cuppa this morning before he left at 6.30, and kids brought me a lovely bowl of cornflakes and handmade birthday cards at 6.45!!! Bless....I am now officially a "rock star mummy"!!!

Nothing planned --- have to conserve energy now I am no longer in my thirties!!
Need to sort out stash and WIP corner as it's got slightly out of control....

Dawn xx

OOh Purple teddy bear , you are getting on a bit now aren't you :rotfl: I remember one time my Ds and DD made me breakfast in bed - pot noodle with cold water because they weren't allowed to boil the kettle - my my that was a long time ago. Im nearly 53 :eek:

aaw William is so huggable, I keep scrolling past his photo and stopping to look at him.

Mioliere, the home your Mum is in sounds amazing, skype, and skittles :T what ever next

Hope everyone is feeling a bit brighter with the sun, its hiding here but not raining so that suits me, am not a sun lover really but happy to be dry.

Am off to change the curtains, dear friend Lee has taken OH fishing again, bless him so lovely and quiet, but I still worry till he gets back xxxx

Hi All

Thanks for all the good wishes for OH he is coming along very well and all Doctors seem pleased with his progress, he still has problems with deafness in the one ear from the RT, and it seems to be taking some time to heal itself...thats if it does...but its a small price to pay for getting rid of the cancer.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PTB :bdaycake::bdaycake::bdaycake:
Sorry I am late but I hope you have had a lovely day xx
40 you are just a chicken...I'm well into pension age don't feel it though...

chalky - awww William just gets cuddlier and cuter all the time. will PM you tomorrow.
kathy - well done to your Mum the first winner of a gold medal :T It's lovely to hear she is chatting on skype even if she does get distracted at least you can see her. I am sorry to hear your BIL is going through a very tough time again, I am sending positive vibes and a little prayer for Bil and your sister x
Ginnyknit - banging bits of wood about works wonders OH resorted to that as well, I think it got rid of some of the frustration the eternal waiting between hospital visits and results caused. I know what you mean when the Grandchildren come they bring a little ray of sunshine with them:)
f1-jean - how on earth do you sit on those exercise bike saddles...you would think with all the padding I have on my rear end it would be ok but :eek: no....

I have been working on a mix of things lately... butterflys for SIBOL, IS Hats, Hedgehogs and a Prem baby hat for Pam's niece's baby she now weighs 3 lb 8 ozs

OH is off out to play snooker, DS2 has picked DGS up ...so I am off for a shower and then paint my toes

Help! I am baffled - nothing new there - I knitted a mans hat in chunky but when I cast it off the edge wasn't stretchy, it was a little tight. I pulled it back and redid it knitwise instead of rib but still the same. Anybody have a better idea of how to do it?? xxxx

Evening all

Another gorgeous day off for a shower next so a quick post....

We are picking the DGD's up tomorrow for a week, we meet them all at Oxford as its about half way between them and us,they live in Haywards Heath, it saves us going on the M25 as well.
So I may not be around much for the next week

ginnyknit - If I have a problem like that I cast off using larger needles and in rib, it usually solves the problem
jean - that sounds even worse :eek::rotfl:
chalky - I have a few different colours of eyelash yarn blue,white,pink and a sort of pinky fluffy boucle will the hedgies be ok done in those colours?

love'n'hugs to all

Hello one and all and lots of love tucked in!
Gentlest thoughts to all those with their hands overflowing and jumping jacks if good things are happening in your neck of the words

Kathy-- You will know how sorry I am feeling reading the news of your brother. What a shame the news is very worrying for all your family. Mum sounds as if she is really settling.

Purple Teddy Bear-- Sorry I missed your birthday-- Life begins they say and I hope you had a lovely day x

Pippa -- Thanks for pm. Thank you so much re hedgies-- anything goes so they will be gratefully received!! Have a wonderful week with your GD'S!

Ginny-- I bet F1 can help you with that .She knits a lot of big hats. Hope DH is coping and you are coping with it all.

Roamin-- Oh it's lovely to have you back posting!

Mrs M-- You and your family are often in my thoughts xx

Shaz-- Hope all well especially with the boys-- new jobs etc.

Isom -- Still on the way down?
