Madness

I can't believe I haven't blogged since Easter! Bad Little Ma, bad!
But we've had sick people and hospital visits so I haven't always been here at the computer. Big Pa had a very clever op on some tube in his body - amazing what they can do . He's better now and back working in his shed. He's happy!
Dudette got a bout of kidney infection and was hospitalised. Thankgoodness I had my family helping me with food and staying at the hospital when I had to go and see to stuff at home! She's all better now but it was yuk seeing her so ill and in so much pain. Finding out she has reactions to codiene wasn't pleasant either. Especially as they administered it again when she was on the mend and I had gone home. Needless to say she got pretty sick pretty quickly again. What can you do but roll your eyes.
We didn't get much sleep so in between caring for Dudette I got some knitting done for
  • Picklesticks
  • . ( A little beret, poncho and cute little socks. I can't believe socks are so small. ) It was so calming. I didn't need a pattern so I could drop it when I needed to , pick it up again when I just had to sit around and wait. BUT I forgot to take a pic- rats. I'll pop in a photo of something else.


    MnM calls this one 'Ying and Yang" obviously!!
    Not Knitting but cute anyway!! There's a constant battle of wits for that bed between the 2 dogs. Tan ( the black one - yeah I know but I didn't name him) was so looking forward to Letty going but she caught Kennel Cough from her brother and shared it with Tan so they are both quarantined for 21 days. Which means she missed the intake for her guide dog training and has to wait for the next one . I don't want to think about how far away that is - it's going to be harder when she does go. Oh joy , oh joy.

    You should get picklesticks to photograph your knitting for you! I love your title. "Madness" Somehow I relate to it!
