I have distant memories of Valentines day..... ......and my amazing bouquet of red roses from the OH, but then flu bug struck and we both succumbed to the dreaded lurgy, and are only just beginning to emerge from our pit of germs and despair, coughing and lethargy. The only plus side of these weeks of misery was the realisation that as an over 60, I now qualify for free prescriptions, and also the fact that between us we lost nearly a stone in weight.
Both having time off work is not a usual occurrence, we both tend to soldier on. In fact the last time I had time off work was following a car crash 3 years ago when I could barely move my neck for weeks.
SO.. that is two weeks of our lives that we won't get back, spent sneezing,complaining and feeling each other's foreheads.
The bug had hit so suddenly that I had only just started an experiment on summer dresses for the grand-daughters. I had crocheted a bolero top,
I had almost completed one before I was laid low and had no interest in anything creative for days.
I must be starting to feel better, as the envelopes containing the other fabrics are calling to me. Maybe tomorrow the 'urge' to create will have returned. I do so hope so.
