It was very interesting reading everyone's experiences and opinions of the internet. It seems so many of us have made close friends as a result of it.
Today I went to my favourite yarn shop in Hastings with J and C. We bought more yarn, sat and knitted for a bit and had lunch at our favourite cafe.
All good things.
I came home and baked a loaf of bread and prepared dinner - spicy chilli beans - and we played a couple of games of scrabble.
For some reason I am very, very tired. This week I have tweaked our appalling eating habits and that might account for some of it - withdrawal from processed sugary crap and too much wine. I will give it another couple of weeks and then go and see the doctor if the weariness doesn't lift.
So I am going to love and leave you and go and try to knit a sock without making too many mistakes.
I will, however, leave you with this. It took my breath away.
Sensual skating really, rather good to watch..
ReplyDeleteCant here be such a thing as too much wine?
The wine hasn't gone for good. Just giving things a rest. The wine isn't the problem (coff coff) it's the snacking that accompanies it!
DeleteFor some reason several people gave us gifts of large boxes of chocolate- for some reason The Golfer thinks they ‘won’t keep’ and need to be eaten- now. Could be the reason for…..well for lots of things especially the rise In the needle on the bathroom scales!
ReplyDeleteI used to roller skate….many years ago.
We had so much chocolate plus my baking frenzy results. Fortunately I can avoid sweet things most of the time and have fed the grandchildren (apparently the two we had the other day took many hours to come back to earth - I blame my mental stimulation) and Himself can have the rest. He needs to lose weight too but does so faster than me so a bit of gentle sabotage here!
DeleteI roller skated as a kid - never managed blades. They were dangerous.
Baking bread in the machine as I read...lol
ReplyDeleteLOVE this rendition Sounds of Silence! And I've not seen this pair skate together before! Well done!

Disturbed do it better than Simon and Garfunkle and that is saying a lot.
DeleteSometimes resting is all we need. I was just reading another blog where the author, a wise woman, was saying how much the last few years had taken out of her. I think that's true for us all even if we don't see it clearly. Also the current political situation in the UK at least is horrendous and depressing.
ReplyDeleteI think we are all recovering from 3 years of hell in many forms. I don't think UK are the only ones suffering with political craziness. It seems to be endemic world wide. Maybe it's the nature of the job that attracts the incompetent.
DeleteThat bit of film may be the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Their grace, their strength, their trust- unbelievable. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteRest, lady. Listen to your body. You are tired.
I am trying, Ms Moon. I really am.
DeleteDid you have covid? I can't remember. That can leave you with fatigue, so can so many other things though. Perhaps a visit to the doctor is in order. Thank you for the lovely figure skating video. They are so beautiful together.
ReplyDeleteI had Covid in June last year. I did experience the awful tiredness afterwards. I am glad you liked the skaters.
DeleteI repeat Pixie's question. My sister, 85, had Covid and got over it, she's had all her shots. Then a month later came down with something, sounds like what you are fighting. Her biggest complaint has been exhaustion.
ReplyDeleteAs I said to Pixie, I had it in June last year. Not to say I haven't had it since because I haven't been THAT unwell nor have I tested (until the family got it and then I was negative).
DeleteBeautiful skaters! Thank you, never saw this pair before. I'm old, remember early Olympics with the Protopopovs, long married Russian couple, won everything. And, here's my point: invented some of the moves you just saw here! Some were banned at first as too dangerous. But see how they're still being executed, lovely.
ReplyDeleteThey are amazing aren't they? And their reaction at the end is so lovely.

ReplyDeleteTiredness…Too much boiled fruit cake? Mum in law gave me the posh baked version… delicious as well but no lethargy though…..many quick walkies …abundance of caution stuff …and a couple of kilos lighter ….well maybe a few grams lighterš¤£good wishes
Thank you, Stalk. Probably too much cheese and pate and nuts and other savoury treats! The walkies would help but my back is knackered at the moment. Catch 22.
DeleteI was trying to be subtle..the walkies were quick and urgent….to the looš¤£š¤£
DeleteI think it’s just at time of year. All the excitement and yes all the sweeties after Christmas and we just have a lull. Rest and relaxation is what we need. And lots of knitting of socks.
ReplyDeleteI am working on the socks!
DeleteI hope you feel better soon, diet can certainly affect our energy. OMG, that skating was unreal and of course, that's just an amazing version of Sounds of Silence (I think you'd shared you love of that version before).
