Two left feet!

Good afternoon from Sunny Suffolk

Feels more like late summer than late autumn. The sun has been shining all day and its so mild out there. No need for a coat at all. To be honest this suits me fine at the moment - getting around can be tricky enough without adding ice or snow to the mix.

Here's what I've been doing since my last blog catch up style post;

 Practising wearing shoes :) I can manage about 1/2 an hour at time at the moment (and only around the house) but very slowly I'm getting there. I can also only fit into this old pair of Converse as my foot is still slightly swollen but again progress :) Back to the physio this week - I've promised to try and wear shoes to walk into the session.

There have been a rather high number of days out in the past week too;

Lunch with my Dad & little Grandma - a rather lovely treat. I've got the hang of steps & stairs now with my moonboot so finally I got the pub lunch I'd been promised.

A trip to a big supermarket with my parents - now that might sound not exciting to some but to me it was wonderful. Being able to get some bits I've needed since August - stuff you can't send a man to buy. I've now loads of lovely warm tights, pairs of socks and new pyjamas. Having been indoors such a lot, the whole Christmas madness has passed me by. Scary to see how many massive trolley loads of 'stuff' were being pushed about. One got a bit close to me - perhaps he thought if he shoved me I'd move faster - he got a very hard stare and stern words from my Mum!! However I did enjoy a wander around the aisles to get a few bits for family & friends and I couldn't resist this chap for myself;

On Saturday I was dropped off in our little town and left to have a good wander around. I had a good stock up on yarn to finish some projects and to start others. I made it into a couple of charity shops too - finding things I needed for swaps. Whilst its more spring than autumn, I could leave this little lost lamb behind, he was only 50p;

Whilst I was out, little son decided that he'd do some baking - this time coffee buns with pale blue icing and sprinkles - tasted rather good AND he did the washing up!

The rest of this week seems to have been filled with crafting - finally my mojo has returned. I've a list of things I'd like to make for coming birthdays/Christmas/swaps and slowly things are being ticked off.  This knitted monster is for my nephew - he loves things to cuddle so I think this colourful fella will go down rather well;

I finished the little mini-raggie - rather pleased with her. She's off to live with someone later this week and I shall start on a couple more as pressies for my little nieces;

 

Today has been a quiet one here. MrVV & Little Son have been out at 2 Remembrance Parades - they stopped off for a pub lunch inbetween. I've been pottering around catching up on some domestic stuff and starting another crochet project. I think my 2 blankets won't be growing bigger for a while now as other projects have leap-frogged over them.

Hope you've all had a good weekend?

See you soon
