Oh my goodness... when I last wrote on here I was wishing spring was on its way... no way did I realise it would bring with it Covid 19 and the feeling of cancellation of the year. I went into lockdown on 23rd March and wasn't allowed back to work until 13th July. Nearly 4 months off work. To be fair, after the initial worry of not having any money (uk government wasn't very quick off the mark to reassure the self employed of help) I relaxed and really enjoyed having the extended break. I sort of had permission not to worry about everything and everyone for the first time in a long while.
I had picked up my youngest from uni 9 days before lockdown and with the eldest already at home we just came to a stop. I took on my parents shopping to keep them safe, and am still doing it.
The PPE and cleaning regs that have to be followed on returning to work have been ridiculous but at least people feel safe and I am getting enough, although not all, people back to get by.
And another positive from lockdown is that I finished the kaleidscope blanket and relatively on time as well.
I also, a couple of weeks ago, finished the fiesta (which i am gifting to thing 2 girlfriend for christmas) and apart from the backing the Hyyge shawl is also done.
Fiesta!So I have now started Tinna's Queen shawl and going for the hardest adventurous queen version. I am going to do it in purples blues greens with white as the diamond pattern colour.
Well I hope you are all surviving this pandemic and haven't lost anyone precious. My thoughts go out to all of you. Sending wishes for peoples jobs, families, health and happiness.
