Bleurgh!

Whinge alert!

I wish today had been a work day, then I could have taken the day off. However, it wasn’t so I couldn’t, and instead I had to look after A&R. My sinuses have been playing up all day – the morning was OK – went shopping, took Ruth to the playground for an hour while I sat and read the paper (lovely warm day – we aren’t going to have too many more of those this year). But this afternoon… Adam just wouldn’t leave me alone. He wasn’t being particularly naughty, although he does a nasty little line in completely ignoring what I say just now, but he wanted my input the whole time, and I just couldn’t give it, so I ended up screaming at him most unfairly, and then apologising, and then screaming again when he did it again.

Fortunately John came home early from work – he’s been feeling pretty rough too, although he’s much better now, and I just retreated to bed and left them all to it.

Still, last night I finished the flower for the front of senryu (a knitted pansy which I’ve nicked from Ample Knitters) and I’ve picked up the stitches for the pink garter stitch at the bottom, so life isn’t all bad.

three comments:

Oh no, poor you. Hope you feel better soon. At least I only have the cat to look after (and I can ignore him when he’s being a pain!)

Hope you feel better soon. Had a look at the Ample Knitters’ pansy – it’s really nice. Nicky Epstein’s book, “Knitted Embellishments” has a pattern to knit almost every kind of flower imaginable! Thanks for your comment on the harvest clapotis. I’m not sure whether I’ll actually wear mine either but they’re great fun to knit and make good pressies … I hope!
