So, if I was bucket list-minded, I could now add and tick off "catch pneumonia" to the list. Not much fun, especially when Laughing Boy caught it too (well, I caught it from him) and, to be fair, his was much worse #obvs. We don't do things by halves, chez kettleboiler! Still, the drugs have worked and we are both on the road to recovery. Neither of us are back to work yet, but it's heading that way. Poor wee man, it's definitely not much fun having two sick parents and he keeps telling me that he is just too poorly to do as he is told. Thankfully, he is fit and well.
A long winded way of apologising for not announcing my giveaway winner sooner. Drum roll please.....
Congratulations Sue (mumasu), I'll be in touch via email to work out the details with you. And I love your suggestion too! Thank you to everyone who provided a mocktail or booze free suggestion. Lots of you opting for a nice cuppa tea #classy. I have to admit I did have one hot toddy (whisky based) when I was super poorly but that was purely medicinal.
I am hoping to dust down old Bertha this afternoon and do some sewing. I have been occupying my convalescing time (when not kipping!) with my first ever cross stitch....

See, further proof that I don't do things by halves! It's for my sister's 40th which was last year (long story!) so she may get it
in time for her 50th! hopefully early next year.
Right, off to the sofa for a nanna nap (oh for those days when it was a disco nap!)....
Help ma boab!!! I hadn't realised you had been so sick - both of you, too! At least the wee man is okay. Nice x-stitch and you realise you now *have* to tell the story of the missed 40th, yeah? *g*
ReplyDeleteSo pleased you're both on the road back to health. Love that Hamish is 'too ill' to be told off! xxxx
ReplyDeleteI've got that cross stitch half started too. :)

ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear you are both on the mend. H will obviously go far!
ReplyDeletesorry to read that you have been so poorly with pneumonia and Laughing Boy too. Just do not rush into doing too much too soon. Are you the ketleboiler that I was friends with on stitchin fingers? afraid I have not visited there for ages, could be be a year or two! Since I have started quilting the embroidery seems to have gone astray except on the crazy blocks
ReplyDeleteglad to hear you're both getting better and that little man didn't catch it from you. Have you been in hospital? I don't know much about pneumonia, other than it's bad and that the first bit of the word is french for "tyre". Love the cross stitch. Did you enjoy the sewing bee last night?
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you're on the mend. Pneumonia definitely sucks!
ReplyDeleteglad that at least the wee man didnt get it too. get well soon xxx
