Re: Peter, This One is For You - Now Catch Up
开云体育Love reading what everyone is making and doing. My poor parents have been having a lengthy health saga including Mum going into hospital 7 weeks ago for an infection and breaking her hip there two days later. She has not been able to return home and will be transferring to a residential home a mile from us this coming Wednesday. It has been a LOT of work supporting her in the hospital and my father alone at home. Sadly she needs professional care available 24/7 now, although Dad is furious about it and wants her to return home and look after him the way she used to. Sadly not an option. Thank goodness for four good and supportive siblings. ? I did manage to finally get out to DH in Geneva, after nine months of travel not permitted. It was lovely. Hoping travel stays opened up through the rest of the year. ? I’ve hardly done any making for months, too weary. ? Here’s to better times coming Jenny ?

How exciting about the grand baby!? Congratulations! ? I have actually been knitting a few more complex pieces a year now but I mostly spin and weave these days. I may make some more fabric to sew things out of.? ? As for exercise, we’ve been grateful that we invested in home workout equipment over the years. We have almost a full gym downstairs and have been using it a lot. We also use the Peloton app (we don’t have Peloton equipment) to take classes in strength training and stretching and I’m using my old yoga DVDs also. I plan to start Tai Chi today with some DVDs I have. Krish and I went to some Tai Chi Chih (a simplified Tai Chi) classes at the town hall before the pandemic. The teacher has restarted those but I find them really slow because she’s catering to a couple of people who don’t seem to get the movements. When we started, she taught us the whole routine in 3 weeks, but in 3 weeks this time, we’ve barely gone through half. So I quit and am going to do it at home. ? I also had a couple of exhibitions of my work at local libraries. Patrons can ‘buy’ a piece for a donation to the library of 50% of the value as a recommended donation but as low as $20 if they want. I’ve raised a few hundred dollars for each library this way and both want to continue next year. ? That’s it for me. We’ve all been well, including my dad. ?
