DDIL has put a post on her blog about William . Bless his heart and yours too for your continued thoughts and prayers. They mean so much.

pippa have the best time with the girls. I know how much you enjoy having the,. You are a great nanny/ Grandma

jeanhow is the production line going. Is teddy protesting yet about being dressed up. Hope you are enjoying so e quiet? Time.

kboss2010 that quilt is absolutely beautiful. What a lovely thing to do.

mrs m your boys sound great. I am glad the sun is peeping out for you.

psso I hope the people at your work know where the post office is and go there pronto.

kathy hope the biscuit tin is full, there is yarn on your crochet hook, and the sun is shining on your washing x

Ginny i hope you are having a good week. Thank you for lighting that candle for us x x

Last night my yoga teacher included young William in her equate for healing thoughts so I hope it is all getting there.

Well I am supposed to be making chutney to fund an oncology unit in India.
My yoga teacher has just returned from a trip to an Ashram there. She met a woman who single handedly (to begin with) is trying to set up a hospice for Indian Cancer sufferers. If you do not pay for private health insurance in India and get ill there is absolutely no help.

She has the foundations laid for the hospice and the yoga push for charity this year is to help her. The aubergines chutney always goes down well. And I thought I would make some now famous oat cakes too.

If anyone gas any ideas of any activities to keep an incapacitated 2 year old amused DDIL would love to know about them.
The IPad is a saviour but they would like other things too. I know how inventive you are. Your quiet book is proving to be brilliant too jean

Hugs to all, am temporarily conifned to a chair as I have a blood pressure monitor attached to me :mad: It is set to take my bp every half hour daytime and every hour at night so am very weary now but its all done at 2pm. Its cramping my style at the mo but could be worse.

Chalky, have found little people love big beads and a piece of cord to thread them on - dont know if they can be found in Dubai but am guessing toy shops have them. Hope this helps. When you come back to the UK will you be raising funds here for the Hospice ? If so would love to send you some things to sell if you have a stall somewhere.

Hope everyone has lovely mood enhancing sunshine today. Its dull here but the light is lovely.

psso

Hope you are all well today. Big hugs if you are a bit poorly or down in the dumps.

Chalky-just been on your dil's blog, Wiliam looks quite happy for the moment on the iPad. Little J loves playing on my kindle,lots of free games and he loves doing the jigsaw puzzles. His mummy bought a kindle -she got a great deal - so he plays on it now, so gramma doesn't have to share her one.

Sunny but quite breezy here today. Shame the washing is up to date,ideal drying weather.

Had an email from work this morning. Think our 'post office' thoughts must have got through. Boss has decided to postpone the assessment as op date is so close and will wait till I'm a few weeks into recovery.

Another wee hat on the needles. Getting through the small balls of wool now,you know,the leftover bits which clutter up the workbag. I'll eventually knot all the teeny weeny bits together for a pet blanket.

See you later.

Love the I spy jar, also the marble maze - its sewn into the channels.....(this is where I got the ribbon snake idea from which wee J played with last May at the exhibition I did one for William as well), I have recently changed my pooter so 'lost' a good few of my favourite How to Keep the Children occupied sites - but will have a good search if I come across any others I shall post them

I did a web search on busy bags (used to keep children occupied in church)......lots of fantastic ideas

Jealousy here - now I would really love a broken something - that doesn't hurt much (never had any so far) so I too can have a colourful plaster -do they come in any kind of TARTAN???? How chic would that be!

psso

Roaming - don't bother with the real plaster cast. Get some of this and just pretend.:D:D Couldn't find it in tartan though.

Spent a wee while in the garden removing some weeds, didn't get much done as bending up and down causes problems.:(

Ginnyknit -hope the bp is ok. I can sympathize with the checks -when I was in hospital the blooming machine kept inflating every half hour and I had to have blood sugar checks every hour. How do they expect you to sleep with someone jabbing your finger and a machine squeezing your arm all through the night.

Off to plug in my audiobook and get back to the woolly grindstone now.

WE HAVE THAT ALREADY for the big daft black dug who bites her feet - only ours is zebra print and pink cat paws - it was cheap ! She looks gorgeous in it too! I did try duct tape first - but she wasn't impressed.

Ginnyknit - hope its not too disruptive and you are soon back to the craftyness

WEEDS- the cheats way...... mix together :- three and half ltrs of vinegar with 1 cup of salt (jist normal stuff) and huge squirt of washing up liquid add pop it into a sprayer and spray them on a dry day - gone in half an hour............
or cheat when I have hot washing up water left I splosh in some vinegar and some salt and jist chuck it over the courtyard (splosh is a technical term in this instance) ha ha I am far too busy with interesting other things to be doing weeding.

mrs-moneypenny

might try your weeding technique on mils gravelled front, she gets loads of mares tails and i end up pulling they out by hand every few weeks.

ginnyknit

Psso you take care hunny, dont overdo it. You need one of those picker up things, I use them all over the house and in the garden, it saves your energy for other things .

I am free of the dreaded machine now and have hopefully proved my bp only goes up with stress, although I do have a lot of stressful moments. From 5pm onwards it was a good reading right through till it finished at 2pm. Am going to enjoy the Gps reaction when she gets the results

Thank you Jean am going to do my patio with that spray as its bloomin full of weeds.
