OH was also up late watching the Grand Prix, but has been quite productive today. Put up a cabinet in the living room, planed a couple of sticking doors, and put some rawl plugs in holes ready for the radiator. I did some laundry while vacuuming up the mess from the DIY. Ran out of energy after a late lunch, so I tried to do the crosswords in yesterday’s paper. Brain obviously also out of energy, didn’t get very far. Early night, I think.
I called the Doc this morning and mentioned the Meds kindly suggested by @punkdoc. The receptionist said she'd pass the information on and ask the Doc to call me . No call as yet. A friend of 30 years has split with his Husband and is having surgery on Friday so we had a day out today. He'll be on " no weight bearing for 3 months" Dunelm, B&Q , and Habitat to look at paint colours and a lamp shade. He got neither paint, nor the lampshade, but I bought 2 new outside lights. Hugs to everyone who needs one.
Yes @didyw … I realise those are very different places… I should’ve typed some …….. or something to separate the paragraphs 😂
In other news … News from my son … his car engine was full of water but Ed says it’s fixable for hundreds rather than thousands. My car needs new plugs, points, oil etc and a complete valet ‘cos it smells a if something has died in there. The headlights will come out and be put on a radiator for a couple of days to dry them out. At the moment you could keep goldfish in them.
Because of the amount of work Ed has stacked up, plus he wants son to run his engine for two hours every day before his car has another oil change etc next Monday, it’ll be a week before we’re back up and running but it’ll be ok. Son will sleep at the office until then … he can use work vehicles uf he needs to. We can get to Wrose on the bus … we can get there, do some shopping and be back home within an hour so very doable. It’ll be ok 🙏 🤞
It’s only a minor blip compared with the rest of this year, but you know that I was knitting a pretty lacy cabled matinee jacket for Wonky’s expected step-granddaughter … I finished all the pieces, sewed it up today ready to do the neckband and button band but something was very wrong … the sleeves were raglan and they should’ve been set in! There was no way the instructions for the neckband would work with the number of stitches available to pick up … I phoned the company who published the pattern and produced the yarn. They agreed the pattern I have is wrong … they have produced an amendment which the supplier should’ve sent with the pattern. … they are sending me more yarn and the amended pattern. I will contact the website I bought the pattern from and warn them it’s got errors in it. Hopefully they’ll give me a credit note for a future purchase as I’ve wasted all that time and effort.

Hot from the press. Doc has just called to say the medication suggested by @punkdoc is NOT licensed in UK. Another week of antibiotics starts tomorrow.
Oh dear @Hostafan1 - let's hope that little critter that's currently making its home in your gut will get fed up with being blasted with antibiotics and clear off! Do lots of poos.
What a nuisance with that pattern @Dovefromabove. But at least they are giving you the correct pattern and more wool. Is there any way you could make something up so the work you have already done could be made to fit?
Glad you are OKish for transport whilst your various vehicles get sorted.
Wishing all a pleasant evening. And sweet dreams to @Pat E.
@didyw 😊 I’ve unpicked the tops of the sleeves and can do the same with the front and back raglans if needed … then if the blips are only from there upwards I should be able to pick up and knit them accordingly to the amendments … then I can use the yarn (a silk and cotton mix) for another one … and I’d already decided to knit another one a couple of sizes bigger in a different shade … I’ve got the yarn for that, at least I hadn’t knitted that one wrong as well! 😂

Thanks for the hug @Hostafan1 I do need one. So I am sending one back to you. And one to Dordogne.
I was stupid enough to search the Internet for something that has turned up in this morning blood test. Stupid stupid stupid I am now worried not understanding half of it. Can't do anything until I see the gp next week so more fool me, what an effing idiot.
Oh ((big hugs)) @coccinella … hope you get some rest. Can you listen to BBC Sounds? The Just a Minute podcasts back to back work for me when my brain is trying to take me down wormholes at 2am. ☕️ 🍪
