Rosemary7391 what are you making? I've literally just finished setting up my Janome for a second polo neck jumper in some teal coloured ponte - I love the first one so much!

Today was a bit of a write off for me. Do you remember I said I was starting a new drug last night? Wow, I slept like a baby! Only problem is I couldn't really wake up in the morning or, in fact, most of the day! I was up and about trying to do stuff but it's like only half of my brain is engaged. Just as well I was so drugged up as laptop gave up the ghost this morning so ended up having to use the other computer. Did manage to do a bit of work but this afternoon decided no, too much so have sent a note around to my bosses saying I'm taking a few days off. Hoping I'll get used to this new drug quite quickly but honestly can't concentrate on anything and so sleepy.

Speaking of which ...... time for bed! See you tomorrow.

Oh, and so I'm not in trouble, I did fly - vacuumed most of downstairs and hung up some washing.

The casual dress is this one:

In a lovely soft dark grey and dark purple fabric I'm a good way along with it, just the side seams and hemming to go!

This is the formal one:

Not sure between view B or C, but I'm using this fabric:

Teal jumper sounds lovely!

Glad you slept well, and I hope you do get used to it quickly!

Valli, what are you feeling rebellious about..?

Valli

Evening folks

Sorry to hear that Kaz - maybe something better is round the corner
Hope you manage to settle down with the new drug Mumof2 - can you maybe take 1/2 the amount and see how that works ??

Completed some Spanish lessons - Duolingo great for free language learning...........

I use that as well on an app and another app for Memrise. I find they're both good for vocab learning/practising. I am doing a free on-line course with Future Learn and I'm on the fifth part of a six part (four weeks each part) course. You might like to have a look and see when/if they are starting the next set.

I know what you mean. Some is down to the time of year and some probably due to all the pressure you were under. Maybe you could start something new or plan something different. A little break away, a new course, a new hobby, re-plan a flower bed or even plant some seeds such as sweet-peas ?
