Sadly I've had to do that too in my life, and, although painful, my mh and general health greatly benefitted πŸ€—β€οΈ

I'm hoping that once my eyes are done life will perk up a bit

Exactly! Plus wobbly legs and duff eyes.

Maybe I'll just buy some new ones.

That phrase confused me for years until I realised it meant the bottom of the glass πŸ˜†

All my stuff is in the attic and although there's a ladder I don't feel like facing that challenge πŸ™„

It was when I worked, but now my time is my own i really rather like being awake when the world is still asleep.

Happy Sunday πŸ‘‹

It's peeing down and dark but I'm warm and the fairy lights are cosy 😁

You get it damp then you pin it out to the correct size. You then let it dry. It helps it keep in shape.

I was wondering about making a risotto because I have all the bits.

I've some new crochet to try, and am enjoying doing it watching films, so nothing exciting but a calm day will suit me fine x

Achieving "random" can be extremely difficult and I can see bits now that annoy me 😁
