  • Hi Spotty.  How are you and how is your shell.

    Been a fast and furious couple of weeks back at work....so already singed around the edges (not a full burn out yet)....

    I couldn't be pig headed if I tried....i am far too passive for that! I think i would rather hide in the kitchen when people come over to visit....it is surprising how long it takes to peel a carrot!!

    OH just gone to have a lie down...keeps him out of the way and I can get some Spotty time!  He is unsure about me being online..I guess he just doesn't like not being the centre of attention and is probably worried about what we all talk about?

    How is the bass playing....gardening in the rain..... etc etc.  Are you still in a slump....

    To quote Dr Suess - "unslumping yourself is never much fun!"

    Hope @Misfit61, @Lonewarrior,  , and  et al are all ok and hanging there..

  • After all that shopping relaxing sewing and tv sound good. I've had the house to myself and a sofa day today. What are you making? 

  • I'm okay, thanks for asking.  Having a fairly relaxing day, albeit a fair bit of shopping (bought a desk for my eldest for £25 - one less excuse for not doing her homework!, went to the city for Aldi and a big Tescos) and am now chilling with my sewing and watching day time TV on iplayer.

  • I will just reply here til Ellie starts the new thread. I'm sorry one you are having a tough time with the garden owners .. no gardening in the rain sounds a good idea. The upholstery sounds good. IMusical scoreope you do feel able to continue, would be a shame to stop and it sounds a nice size group. But yes I can see storage would be a problem.. magic wand required for dispersal of chairs and art. Glad yMusical score are enjoying Musical scoreGuitarGuitar. There is only so much we can take on at once maybe instead of an apt you could send an email to your Gp as a halfway method. I have patches of being able to listen to music and patches when I can't. Led Zep is my go to. 

  • Glad to hear you are not too burned yet, but I bet it's hard. My shell is not currently thick enough at all.  One of my gardens is an old lady who can be increasingly difficult and she pushed me past my limit this week and I was very short with her, I don't want to go back but I guess I will.  I don't do gardening in the rain anymore so these days I tend to hope for rain on Tuesdays and Fridays.

    I doubt I could be pig headed in your position either but with no kids and an over tolerant OH I can get out of most things, I can see that hiding in the kitchen is probably a good option. I hope being here isn't going to cause you problems, that would be horrid, like I said my OH is so tolerant I'm not sure he actually cares, but that is probably unfair. Think he's actually worried I'm going to break.

    I've been learning upholstery for the last few years, one day a week and we are supposed to go back this week which I'm kind of dreading.  They are lovely people and I think our tutor has ADHD too, we always call it chair therapy, there's only four or five of us and I've loved it up until now but I'm so much more fragile right now than before, I'm just hoping I can cope with it. I hand dye fabric with my drawn marks for the chairs and have no idea how to sell them either so more guilt about money only going in the wrong direction and chair storage issues.

    The bass is my only constant, I love trying to paly it, though I'm not sure there's much improvement. Frankly I'm astonished and impressed that I can find any notes at all without looking! Well done me.

    I think unslumping is going to take a while, haven't been brave enough to make a GP appointment about ADHD yet and still haven't drawn or painted, maybe tomorrow...

    Currently listening to Tears for Fears in concert from 1983 on the iPlayer and loving it. Waffle waffle.

  • just as well really because he's definitely someone special to have around 

  • I expect so.....can't keep away can he...we are all such wonderful company for him! Lol x

  • Ah yes didn't think of that. I'm probably the same. More Warrior stories of the day later I hope 

    xx

  • I think he may have broken his ampersand...or you can change your settings and not get mentioned..(maybe a case of inbox overload)....?

    good to here from you Missy xx

  • Hahaha very funny Ellie but like I said nice to have you here

  • By the way did you manage to @ Lonewarrior? Because it won't work when I try! 

  • Don't need a corner....no one can see me in the middle of the room! :p 

  • Hang onto that laptop/tablet/smartphone..everyone should have a corner to retreat to
