Having spent much of the morning asleep on the sofa, I took Ibuprofen instead of Panadol and it's made me feel much brighter. With various Youtube offerings in the history/archaeology department on to keep me amused, I mended Tam's trousers, put poppers on a sleeping bag of Rosie's to make it a better fit, and then blew the dust off an old unfinished 1970s? hexagon quilt I had bought from a Charity shop a few years back. I found I had already raided my stash for any prints which might be used, and only had plain navy blue left and a fat quarter of a red print. I've been looking on Ebay and at Doughtys and the Cotton Patch for prints which might do but no luck so far.
I have put 8 or so extra garden patches on two borders, but as it's a circular pattern, squaring it off is going to be a challenge, even when I get some fabrics. I have decide I may treat myself to a trip to Malvern Autumn Quilt Festival next month.
I've not been out of the house all day but my body is telling me it's rest I need. I'll do a walk tomorrow - when hopefully I'll be feeling a bit brighter.
It's only 17 degrees in the house and 11 outside, so I have caved in and put the heating on for an hour. An extra quilt will be going on the bed tonight too.
Oh, and just noticed this: https://www.gbnews.com/money/council-tax-single-person-discount-keir-starmer-budget We single pensioners will lose our 25% single person discount. And after that, the bus pass will go. Never needed to use mine - until NOW. How Labour can justify this is just beyond comprehension. How about robbing people blind when they have POTS of money - not elderly people with none to start with.
