This week...

Hello...... This week here at the Summerhouse has been a bit of a hectic one with it's ups downs.

It started well as on Monday I taught a friend how to crochet

and Spring is coming along very nicely out in the garden

The weather however has not been so great, rain rain go away !!

even the fields are started to flood here and we are on high grown, the water shining silver in the sunshine

This week I've picked up my summerhouse sampler again and started work on my tree to represent winter. Doodle stitching away, just need to add some frosty sparkle to the branches and maybe some snow, instead of all this dreadful rain.

This week my lovely sister drove me on a six hour round trip, through winds rains and flooded roads to a hospital appointment to see a Immunologist.  It turned out to be a worthwhile trip, despite how exhausting it all was. As he was very knowledgeable about CFS and has recommended some new treatments that might help my ME/Lyme disease.

He said he thinks I have CFS and wants me to start on antiviral drugs and also Vitamin B12 injections among other things to see if they will help.

He has also asked me if I would take part in some research studies into ME that are being run.

The day did not however end quite so well, as we arrived home to a very stressed out 'P' as water had being pouring into the Garage and through the fuse box. It has knock out the electrics in the Garage and Summerhouse.  

So it was made safe, until thankfully my brother in law who's a electrician could come the next day and start to sort things.  Unfortunately the chest freezer and washing machine are in the garage but we managed to save the freezer full of food by him hooking up a waterproof cable from the house.

Hopefully it will all be rewired and working again at some point next week.

The cats are going a bit cranky too with all the rain,  I couldn't resist taking this picture of them acting like a couple of books ends

So for the rest of the week I've been feeling pretty unwell, so it's been lots of resting and a bit of crochet, cuddle up with the crafting assistants. I'm working on some yarn bombing makes (more on that another day)

On a more positive note there has been a bit of  gorgeous blue blue sky and I've been sticking to the anti inflammatory diet, which I think is helping some of my symptoms

and there have been Roses too, real

and crocheted.

A week of ups and downs but looking back it's not been all bad. I count ourselves very lucky so far with the weather, the troubles in the garage seems bad enough so I feel so sorry for everyone who is suffering with the flooding and storms in the UK. Another one hit last night, so lets hope there is no more major damage to this weather battered little Island of ours and the sun is shining again soon

Happy Crafting
