Knit Your Square to Give Your Share - PART 4

roamin_in_the_gloamin

cutting up duvets today to make squishy dog beds - not just for mine - well I had three king size duvets so that's lots of happy puppies - we have a rescue centre about half an hour away so I will pop them along there when I get the covers on.
Spent the afternoon TRYING to machine knit hats and failing miserably three attempts and only one of them is something I would try again only BIGGER!
Will try and get stuck back into that tomorrow and then I just might get stuck
back into some proper charity work.
I hope you are all busy doing 'crafty stuff' sending you lots of love and hugs

Hi everyone; I hope you are all doing well.

We have booked our next trip back home, leaving here on 18th July and coming back on 1st August but, since booking it all, I have heard from my sister that my DBIL is now very very ill, so we may fly back before then.

As I am sure you will all understand, I can't think of anything else to say right now.

Mrs moneypenny - how are the shingles doing? I don't need them tho'

mrs-moneypenny

not too bad thank you just itchy knee and achy, at times (usually nighttime) painful hip joint
if i cross my legs i feel like ive got a trapped nerve and my foot goes dead
most of the blistered have gone scabby now so almost not infectious any more, but dr said as id worked through most of it i may as well carry on so no sick leave for me.
I just make sure i wear trousers or long skirts at work and dont let anyone touch my knees - not that anyone would want to.
