Mundane News

[Speicher]

Some very excellent good news! Chemotherapy and the drugs I need to take had badly affected the dexterity of my pingers for things like sewing.

Nearly two years after finishing Chemo, there is now noticeable improvement, and I managed to do a small amount of hand sewing the other day. Admittedly it was fairly straight-forward tacking (or basting) the neck line of a blouse, but still an achievement In my reckoning.

Also finally some good news about my pension. I will be receiving it from October 2023! For what seems decades, I have seen my state pension age go further and further back. It looks like it will now stay still long enough for me to catch up with it!

Still no news about the arrival of Bump. He is obvs comfy where he is. His ETA was ten days ago.

I have just bashed a couple of crates of logs into submission.

Time for Antiques Road Trip.

Every day is the same when you're off sick.

I tend to email them back by proxy telling them I was cryogenically frozen in 1982

Send it back as gone away.

Time to feed the cats, and then it will be time to feed me.

We have an electric heater! And electric blankets. And lots of love.

Which reminds me... We haven't seen @carpiste for a while. I do hope he's ok...
