Down in the Dumps

 

This is all I have done today.  I have just put it aside as my brain just doesn't want to function to work out the layout of the next row round - despite having it shown on paper in the pattern.  The fabrics are from the charm pack I bought last month and aren't working brilliantly together in this pattern.  Ah well.  The cats will enjoy sitting on it!

I am feeling so low today - I have no energy for anything, no desire to do anything and I just feel lonely.   I had to force myself to work on the table topper.  I have just gotten Robert McFarlane's The Old Ways on Audible, but I wasn't enjoying that either as it required concentration (sadly missing today).  I have several of his books, but have only dipped into rather than read as his style isn't a relaxing one to read.  I felt the same about Hilary Mantel and Wolf Hall. 

I managed to find ITV live racing on my computer, so can watch the Cheltenham Festival next week.   

I can't face a 2nd night of Tortellini and pizza topping, so have made a Pizza base which has just come to dough in the bread maker.  I can't be bothered to make that either, but will have to force myself and force myself to eat some too.

I must take a leaf out of Sue in My Quiet Life in Suffolk's book and count my blessings:

Mainly the 'oscopy is behind me and no worrying signs.

I am going to see Tam and Rosie tomorrow.

I have kind and helpful neighbours.

Hah - I have a fabric stash to keep me going for years, at the rate I sew!

I have four lovely cats who adore me.

I have a wonderful family who would do anything for me.

I am going to Copenhagen next month and will finally see Bog Bodies for the first time :)

The sun has shone a couple of days this week and I got out in the garden.

I have seeds to start and plants to plant.
