The Antidote

Lightening Hook

Just as I promised I would post every day this week, I missed a day!  Mary Poppins would call that a Pie Crust Promise - easily made, easily broken.  My excuse was a half term trip to the cinema.  Percy Jackson and and the Lightening Thief.  A fabulous film, move over Harry Potter!

I am really enjoying this half term, my little ones, now 9 and 7 are a little more independent, and the way we spend our time is changing.  Ivy and I like reading together, close but quiet.  Oscar and I have been loving Dog the Bounty Hunter, and actually have it on series link!

My real revelation this week has to be that I have discovered that it is VERY easy to crochet at the pictures.  Enough light (just) enough room, over two hours of sitting and not moving perfect.  I wish I had discovered it 7 years ago, that would have saved a lot of tiresome animated hours spent at our local flicks.

Sledging

Oh dear.  I was going to share so much this week.  My new yarn stash, my new projects some lovely yarny pics which I took over the weekend, then... oh dear..!

Poor little Ivy took a bang on the back of her head after a particularly steep sledging session and wound up with concussion.  Nausea, dizziness, headaches, poor little dot, she has really been through it this week.  All is well right now, we have just got back from the hospital and she has been thoroughly checked out and just needs a little more rest and she will be fighting fit.

I didn't know how miserable concussion could be, nor how long it could last.  We have rather enjoyed our rest though, sofa, tea, dvd's and books, hooking (me) peg dolls (her).  I am rather going to miss her when she is all better.
