I know I've been very quiet lately, but it's been due to ill-health unfortunately. It started with Mr Fixit developing a virus which gave him a temperature and a horrid cough for some weeks. Fortunately, he is virtually over it now. Then my father was ill again. This time he was confined to bed for quite a while but he is now making slow progress. Father was taken ill before we were due to go on our quilting retreat to Bridlington, so unfortunately I could not go. That was a shame cos I'd been looking forward to that and had projects planned, fabrics bought, etc. and I was really looking forward to the food. Still, that's how things go sometimes isn't it? Then, not to be left out, I decided I ought to have my annual chest infection a bit early this year, which has wiped me out for the past week. I'm getting better too and I can now talk again, but I'm still prone to coughing a lot.
One good thing about not going on the retreat is that my son and his family came up for a few days. They were here for Halloween, so here's a picture of young Mr D all ready to answer the door to Trick or Treaters.
So all that means no sewing has been happening and if I don't get my act together soon, Christmas won't be happening here either.
Oh it is no fun to be taking care of others who are ill, or being sick yourself. I wish you and your entire family a speedy recovery.
ReplyDeleteIt's always something, isn't it? Hoping your holiday season is healthy. Frankenstein is looking pretty good for his age:)
ReplyDeleteOk enough sickness at your house, you need some good old fashion therapy-sewing therapy that is!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're on the mend and had a little halloween goblin visit! I had intended to get some intense sewing going on here this week, but only managed to straighten up my sewing room and sneak in a little handwork in between trips to my sons house to deal with stuff that had to be attended to.
ReplyDeleteSo much of the sickness going around most every where. I had it bad during the summer. I had to whisper for about 6 weeks and cough and cough and cough.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are feeling better, Sue. I had missed you, too. (I saw the message about my being "no reply" and I know it's because if Google Plus - how do I fix it, though?)
ReplyDeleteHard to believe Christmas is just around the corner! I hope you all are feeling 100% very soon.
ReplyDeleteDo hope you are feeling a lot better and can start thinking about the festive season coming up. Have a good week, take care and don't overdo it.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, you've really had a rough time! I hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteOh hope you start to feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteOh I'm so sorry for all the germies that have invaded there lately. Hopefully you can get them kicked to the curb quick.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you were all ill. Glad to hear everyone is on the road to recovery! I always think it's weird to see Halloween celebrated in England now days. When I lived there 20yrs ago it was seen as an American thing and thus poo pooed....I was utterly disappointed as a kid to discover that....lol
