a long list of thanks (part 1)

LESSON ONE: don't start an entry, leave it for a while and then forget it's in draft and post another entry. lost entry.

start over....

i have had so many cards and gifts, not all have been photographed, but i think i got most of the gifts!

my room in hospital was kept at about 80 degrees F, so i never wore this there, but it has been around my shoulders every day since i have been home.



this very pretty faroese shawl is from sally who gave it to me on my last city knitty outing to double dutch before going into st johns. it''s really lovely, and is just the thing to keep my shoulders warm. my hospital room walls were painted almost the exact same colour! the photo isn't great, but these days i'm concentrating on just getting the photos up. thanks sally, and for the chocolate too, we haven't eaten it yet, it's still in a safe place far from children's prying fingers...

on my last day at schools (TT's school that is) i was given three parcels from a bunch of the other mums - these chocolates are about half finished, but i'm waiting for the all clear from the hospital before slathering myself with the lovely things in the other two boxes. all the dressings are due to come off on thursday, so i should be free to use whatever i want.



ok, i need to stop for now, this is taking longer than i expected. there will be a bunch more posts coming up as an when my energy allows....
