...... can really make your day! First it was Sarah on Thursday - when I said that I couldn't believe that Stuart is 31 next month, she said I must have been very young when I had him! Then on Friday at chat'n'patch, Anne said that I had made her ears sore, I had talked so much. Why did that make me happy? Because finally the latest medication is helping with my sore face, and it no longer hurts to talk!!
I was also happy when the post arrived this morning - first there was this invitation to Lindsay's Woolgathering on Sunday
Lindsay makes wonderful envelopes from magazine pages - an excellent idea for recycling!
Isn't this a wonderful fabric picture! It is actually part of a booklet that was sent to Malcolm, trying to persuade him to buy a new Golf Plus!! .....
..... the booklet is stitched together - I think they are targetting women to buy the new Golf (I should add here that it's my car, in case you think Malcolm drives a girly car!!)
We went into Hawick this morning for some shopping and of course went for a cuppa
It's a quirky cafe tucked up a side street in Hawick - but worth the effort to find, especially if you like second-hand books!
That was all a lot more pleasant than it had been first thing this morning when I went out for my walk
The photo looks out of focus - but it was just very wet, with a lot of low cloud over the hills. However my feet were warm and dry, as I had on my trusty walking shoes and a pair of my handknitted socks
although as it was so miserable, perhaps I should have had my 'Happy' socks on!!
Why 'Happy' socks - simply because that is what the bamboo yarn is called (although I have been less than happy about the way the socks have washed - my wool ones wash much better!)
So now that the new medication is helping, I am just about back to my normal happy self (although when I said to Malcom I was back to normal, he groaned and said 'oh no'!!!!)
