Still recovering

 Sadly, not a single finish and just a little time working on my craft projects this last couple of weeks.  I picked up some sort of nasty lurgy from my recent coach tour and after two seeks I'm still not over it.  Cough, cough, coughing, generally in the evenings, and luckily I'm no longer trying to sleep propped up on pillows at night.  But I am feeling tired so need a Nana Nap most days.  Would you believe I have purchased three different types of cough lozenges - two from the chemist and one from the supermarket.  One lot tastes awful, the second one is very strong and irritates my throat, and the supermarket variety tastes the best!  And I'm drinking hot lemon and honey too, that's quite soothing.

Cough lozenges, take your pick

I did venture out to a craft afternoon during the week, and did some more hand quilting on my teddy bear panels.  This was going free to a good home donated by one of the Sew Wot ladies some time ago and the quilting had been started so I took the teddies home with with.  There's  only a small amount of stitching to finish on these, and my idea is to make three teddy cushions for donation.

I've done a small amount of machine stitching, but nothing much to show.  And a little knitting in the evenings, a few rows here and there.  There are two projects on the go, a little toddlers cardigan in the brown hand spun wool, and yet another pair of socks, of course.

The asparagus season has started here so I took a drive up to Lewis Farms (25 km round drive) on Saturday morning.   I bought a kilo of asparagus, a nice hot coffee, and two cheeky chocolate peppermint marshmallow fish jumped into my bag as well.  This was always a pleasant morning trip Robin and I enjoyed together.  After our purchases we would sit at the picnic tables, he would enjoy a fresh fruit ice-cream, and I would have a coffee.

It's a very warm pleasant day today.  The washing is pegged up outside on the clothesline, blowing in the breeze,  and I've been outside on the patio sipping my honey and lemon drink.  I do hope everyone is keeping well, and I must assure you, despite all my grizzles, I really am slowly getting better.
