Self medication.

-

I have a cold so today's programme is;
Lemsip (breathe east with menthol to clear the nose)
Gingerbread men (2 because they get lonely easily)
Medicinal videos (including as previously mentioned Outbreak, I'm ill but at least I'm not that ill
My ripple blanket, because when you're ill there's only one thing better than snuggling under a cosy blanket and that's being able to snuggle under half a king sized blanket and crochet the other half.
So, I'm in today, and keeping warm. Tomorrow I will go for the fresh air to clear the airways approach, but I think a snuggle day (I may even stay in my jim jams as long as possible(!)) is not too much to ask for,is it?

    Sorry to hear you're feeling poorly. I've got Jennen off school today with the start of a cold too. He's currently snoozing on the settee under my favourite blanket.
    A hot toddy will be good before you go to bed tonight. I find it really helps me to get to sleep when I have a cold.

    Well I know we should be sending our sympathy but really, you lucky thing to have a snuggle day, I can't remember having one of those since before my children were born (and Jack's 19!!!).
    Hope you feel better soon.

    A snuggly day sounds like the perfect remedy to me, there is a cold remedy over at Willow House at the moment.

    Hope you're feeling better! Nice to see somebody with bookcases as overloaded as ours, even so we keep squeezing more in. Soon we may have to move into the shed in order to house them all, unless we can persuade the children to give up their rooms!

    Keep drinking that lempsip, honey & lemon with hot water does it for me!

    Hope your feeling better soon, it's a bit wet and windy here in the Fens today so being snuggly sounds like a great remedy.

    Ugh, I had one of those days on Monday - as long as you can get the day to yourself to snuggle, it's OK! Hope you're on the mend now.

My Latest Trick...

I really need to introduce you to my latest hooky love, before it gets finished and I end up not telling you the back story. Let me show you what I'm on about first; World, meet Autumn Ripple Blanket (Autumn for short). You see, I have a granny square with flowers and a black background blanket that I'm desperate to finish for my bedroom, and a list of decorative items I'd like to do for Autumn and Christmas, so I sat down last week to make an Autumn Inspirations board on Pinterest (like you do) and made this; https://www.pinterest.com/angeljem5/autumn-and-fall/ and I loved the colours and the feelings it aroused in me. Colour-wise I am a warm autumn, but very often misbehave and don't wear them (long reason; won't say now) but I do love them, and the whole Season of Mists and Mellow Fruitfulness bit, so the board keeps filling up with pure autumnal inspiration. Until this one hits my eye. From The Glamorous Housewife's site . And the colours are be...

Hallowe'en... good or bad?

-

For years when mine were little, we studiously avoided Hallowe'en. We went to the Church's Light Party (if fancy dress was in order, it was superheroes, or princesses not witches or skeletons) and made little or no adjustment to the daily order, so no bobbing for apples, peeling skins for divination or any thing that smacked of magicality at all. It worked for us; we didn't go Trick or treating, and those who visited us were politely told, "We don't celebrate Hallowe'en here" The children grew up sensible and well-adjusted, they don't do gross horror films and I'm proud of them. This year they are all old enough to make up their own mind. The lads are easy; if it involves effort, then they're not bothered. But the Princess is a great joiner, and wants to be part of her group. So when a friend invited her to a Hallowe'en party I gave her the option; of course the answer was yes. "I'm not celebrating Hallowe'en," she said,...
