So this week the new car came….

I got to ride in it on the way home from the car place and we went out in it today for a little drive so mum could figure out how things on it work.

I need to come up with a name for her. At the moment I’m thinking Queeny Quartz but it doesn’t feel quite right. Quartz because that’s the paint colour and Queeny because it fits with quartz. To sound Yoda like “meditate on this I will”, so I’ll have to do some thinking about it and see where that’s goes.

The other thing is the lockdown has started up again. What fun, I don’t think the lockdown has even thought about how inconsiderate it’s being. It’s interrupted my social life again. Lol, I know it’s important and understand why it has to be done but if we don’t laugh and try to enjoy ourselves with what we have where would we be? I’ve been to that dark place and I can’t say I want to go back. It’s not a nice place to be so I’ll do everything I can to stay away from it.

So knitting wise I finished one sock for mum and I’m working on number 2. So if she only had one foot it would be fine. But being awkward she has two. I only started it yesterday so I’m about an inch or so in. 5 more inches before the heel flap. If I get my head down it will be done before I know it.

I’ve been doing some tangling aswell. I was working through the zentangle primer and one of the last exercises in it was to make a zentangle mosaic. This is what I came up with:

I’ve also been following along with some of the Sanntangle videos and sessions on Facebook. I haven’t taken any pictures of that work you’ll ha e to use your imagination. It’s not that I don’t want to share it it’s just that I haven’t taken any pictures and my book is downstairs and I’m up. I can’t be arsed moving to sort pictures out. I’ve found one picture I took:

What else has been going on? Well it’s dads birthday today. He seems to have enjoyed himself. Me Katie and mum got him a join birthday present. We got him a Braun stick blender thing. He’s been dropping hints about wanting one for a while so we got him one.

We also have a new TV in the front room. I think dad was struggling with size envy over my 55 inch TV so he wanted one of his own. So there’s now a 55inch TV in the front room. The old one has gone into Diana’s room.

I’ve no idea what caused it. It was stupidly hot yesterday so it could have been that, the pollen count could have been high too but not sure and can’t seem to find anywhere to check. Lots of places show what the count is today but not in the past. The only other thing I could find was stuff about what kind of pollen is around at what time of year and if it’s likely to be high or not, so not much use there really.

Saturday wasn’t a good day for me, I felt shitty, had issues breathing and I was beyond dizzy. Any movement, even the smallest and slightest, made my head spin. It was crap, I had to use my pink puffer a couple of extra times, well more than my normal puffs in the morning and evening. But thank god I feel better today. The other thing that happened was I completely lost it when I accidentally broke a glass. I was scared and didn’t know what to do. All that was running through my head was that broken glass is dangerous. So I was curled up on a chair holing the dog so neither of us would get hurt or cut. The other thing running through my head was the worry and fear that I’d been naughty as was going to get told off. How stupid! I’m in my late 30s and scared I was going to get in trouble for accidentally breaking a glass.

Anyway, that was Saturday and it’s in the past. I feel a lot better now so no point in dwelling on it.

So with that I’m going to get back to my socks.

Love and light
