New Beginnings

The tiler ran out of tiles. He may be back either tomorrow or Monday. The plumber can't come back until Tuesday.

Oh what a nightmare!

[Suzi]

Oh no! Is it looking good so far? Does it leave you without a bathroom over the weekend?

[magie06]

We have a shower room downstairs so we're very lucky. I've had to get steroids and antibiotics for my chest infection. But thank goodness I don't have to have a covid test.

[Suzi]

Hooray for not another test!
Glad you've gone to get the meds to help, rather than suffer and it get worse....
Are you resting and pacing at all today?

[Paula]

Sorry you’re poorly, lovely

[Allalone]

Hope you’re feeling better soon.

I waited for the tiler on Saturday and he was here at around 8am. He did what he could but both he and I were very frustrated that there were tiles broken in the boxes. He had to go away without finishing the job.
I am knitting a blanket that I must have knit around 4 or 5 times before, and it's just going wrong on every row. But I took a deep breath and I've come up with a solution that's working so far. I've put a stitch marker every 50 sts, and I check that those stitches are correct before moving on. It's meant that I'm not ripping back 3 rows to find the mistake. Thankfully the baby it's for arrived safely yesterday, 3 weeks early, so my needles are smoking today getting it done.

[Paula]

Are you free of the chest infection? How’s your back, lovely? And where’s your mood at right now?

[Suzi]

I hate it when you get sections like that. It really hurts to pull out all your hard work!
I was going to ask the same as Paula, but she's beaten me to it!
