The title, by the way, is what these blardy antibiotics do to me. Just as well I live alone as heck, shall we just say you can hear where I am in the house! However, I AM feeling better so mustn't complain.
My little helper Pipsqueak!! Quilt border now restitched (hand quilting), quilt washed, ironed and priced ready for the next Fair, which is actually MUCH sooner than imagined as I have been offered a double stall at a Pre-Christmas Fair in December. Yippee. All my old friends there too (I was going to write "our" friends . . .) Below, this is it before I started work on it - on my king size bed, so a very generous double (80"x 84").
I am feeling better today, and have some energy- that's what eating a proper meal does for you. I had a Tesco Chicken and Black Bean offering last night (with Egg Fried Rice - egg apparently an optional extra as not obviously IN the rice) but hey-ho, it was tasty and I ate the lot AND an ice cream cone for dessert, so that is real progress. Having food in my tummy got rid of the nausea too.
I have had a leisurely start to the day, finished the JD Kirk novel, Blood and Treachery, which is a murder mystery set in Scotland (one of a series with DCI Jack Logan as the main protagonist) - sent to me by my friend Gay, and very enjoyable.
I have done SOME work - deep cleaned the bathroom, vacuumed upstairs, moved some of Tam's "bags of stuff" into her old bedroom (and out of my sewing room) and put the quilt in the top photo into a storage bag with its details and price tag, ready for the Fair. I will be taking four quilts. I have washed up and hung up yesterday's washing, which I forgot to do yesterday. I have sorted out some of "I" 's non perishable toys (plastic farm yards etc) which can then go out into the Summer House for the winter. There are about 6 or 7 boxes of her toys around the house and I don't need this additional clutter - not to mention her dismantled single bed and mattress, small chest of drawers, 3 drawer storage box, BIG chest of drawers in the kitchen etc, and that's before we get to all Tam's stuff!
I have also been researching a WWI German Luftwaffe photo album, which also has the pilot's small wearable medal display strip attached to it. Keith got it in a deal, pre-Covid, for an old musket he had. I thought he'd been ripped off at the time, but research shows I was wrong and it is actually quite collectable and worth more than the price he had on the musket. He usually got it right!
Off to watch (as it's daylight!) a couple more episodes of The Burning Girls and do some hand stitching - attaching hexi's to that unfinished quilt.
