Sick Leave

I was hoping that I’d be well enough to go back into work today but not long after getting up I was very ill. I went straight to the doctors’ surgery and was given a week’s sick leave and told to eat very bland foods for the week. I came home to find that the hospital had written with the details of my  stomach ultrasound. The appointment is for Wednesday morning and I mustn’t eat or drink anything after 12am Tuesday. I also have an appointment for blood tests on wednesday morning at the surgery.

Did a small amount of knitting today on some socks and sewed in the ends of some others. I haven’t felt up to much. While I was off work last week I watched hardly any tv during the day, read Harry Potter 6 instead. I read the first chapter on Tuesday night and finished the book on Friday afternoon. Now I have to wait two years for the final book. Sigh.

Finally a localish yarn store! Saturday Jeni and I managed to make a little trip to the new yarn store in Penarth. It’s called Yarn’n Yarns and sells Colinette, Debbie Bliss, Rowan etc. and from today also sells Noro! I bought a sweater’s worth of Collinette Giotto in Rio and the new "Rock Gods and Movie Stars" pattern book.
