Just top coat varnished kitchen settle, can't wait to get it in the kitchen and then make the cushion pad (no doubt the cats will use it more than we do ).  Going to pick up my mum to come and stay for a few days.  She sounded a little low on the phone yesterday so I think a change of scenery will do her good.  She is hard work to entertain though so wish me luck.

Good luck!!

I'm off to Kirby Stephen to meet a colleague to collect some bio bottles and then onto get some easibed.

Ach!  Wish I'd known... bought a spinning wheel in N.Lancs gotta get it up here...  Never mind, plan A was to fit in a visit to the AgedPs and pick it up en route, still a good plan 

[HelenVF]

I know of 2 families who have practically passed your door in the last 2 weeks! Lol

Another wheel Sally  you'll be busy.
I'm doing pretty much nothing today, but we're going to attempt to round up all the Large Black weaners this evening and get them into the shed for weaning & socialising (code for giving them belly rubs  )
Should be fun, or entertaining for anyone watching  21 piglets and 2 people  wonder how long it's going to take (and how many times I'll end up face down in the mud  )

Finally got hold of a Traveller at a reasonable price, dying to see if I like it.   Only thing is, if I do like it, will I have to keep three for myself...? ...the Traveller for travelling, the raw fleece wheel, the everything except raw fleece wheel... (you see what I've done there?  Why I need two already?  Clever, huh?  )

Hey, if you want something enough there's always a justifiable reason 
Not that I'd know anything about that 

Have you tried spinning on two wheels at one time yet ? That would easily let you justify doubling capacity

You mean like this?

(No, that's not me - wish it were!)

Took the kidlets swimming at Malvern splash - wave machines, slides and the like. Helped the 9 and 10 yr olds milk Savannah, they can almost do it alone (yay!) and then we've taught Milli the 10 yr old how to use the sewing machine we bought her for Xmas (yep, everything gets done eventually here...) she's currently making Big Fat Barbie wedding dresses.......

OH had to go to the hospital for his half yearly check up this morning. We saw yet another doctor..it seems that as soon as they have him for a patient, they get up and leave. She was lovely, not French, and she spoke perfect english. Im quite happy to translate for hubby if the doc doesnt speak any english as its a bit much to expect them to, but this doctor was more than happy to oblige. She has changed OH's medication, stopped some things given him new drugs (the latest one out for his condition) and wants to see him again in 3 months. She just seemed to be so genuinely caring and said that if I was ever worried, I only had to pick up the phone and speak to her. I thought that was so nice. I just hope she stays a bit longer than the others, one of which has given up medicine altogether. Mind you, she was as mad as a bag of frogs, great doctor though..shame!!

[jaykay]

Well, the new doctor sounds good Mary 

I've been dashing about in the rain and spinning. What I should have been doing indoors was analysing exam statistics and replacing the Sellotape on my work suit hems with stitching (blush).

Anyway, will attempt to use this yarn as singles so have been fulling it. It's a bit curly still - I think energised is the technical term  It's hanging over the bath with a weight in it at the moment.

Hey, Helen VF, next time you're in Kirkby Stephen give me a shout and I'll put the kettle on - I'm only 7 miles down the road

Been to Stratford upon Avon for the afternoon. Hubby is working out busking spots. Kids had an Ice cream. Milked the goat twice in the rain, lovely.

Very little as usual.  Getting very fed up with it.  I want to get a rise recliner chair so that I can sit up and at least I could knit or write.  Can't sit in an ordinary chair for very long as I get uncomfortable so I try sitting on the sofa with my legs up and gradually slide down so I'm practically lying down.
 
Did have a lovely chat on the phone with Tizaala though.
