Well that was unexpected!

 

Well the end of my week took an unexpected turn with my Lovely Mum taking ill and going into hospital!  Luckily she's a very fit and healthy 76 year old so it could have been a lot worse.

I've come back to stay in my childhood home which is lovely and weird in equal measure so I can be with her in hospital.  She's expected to make a good recovery but like me, she's an impatient patient!!

While she sleeps I've been knitting my watermelon socks and finished them this morning 🍉🧦 I'll knit some squares for my sock blanket with the leftover yarn.

Oh, and I'm retired now!  I've changed my header and my About me to reflect my new status😊

      Fingers crossed she can make a full recovery but I suspect it will be slower than she wants!

      I'm just glad I'm able to be here and going forward I'll be more available to help than I would if I was still working!

      She's in the best place for but it's when she comes home I'll need to work out a schedule. I can't stay here long term. Luckily she has a wide circle of friends who will help until she's back up on her feet

    Best wishes to your lovely mum for a very speedy recovery. Look after yourself well too. My son has been really supportive while I’ve had a broken hip, but it’s taken a toll on his health now. Pam

      Thanks. I will look after myself too. My friends are constantly checking in with me. I know only too well I'm no use to anyone if I let my own health slip
