What made you happy today?

I found someone that prints A0 patterns locally and given how hard it is to find time to sew I decided that now I'm getting wages again I should just get all my patterns printed. She kindly knocked off the price of a couple of sheets as it was a large order and I was collecting. Paid Monday night and collected yesterday afternoon! Planning on getting some of my studying done today so I can start some sewing on Friday

Nice. What’s on the list to sew? I’ve got some nice kitenge fabric that I need to make skirts and tops from.

PS I’m sure you’ve already said but what are you studying again? Something to do with management?
 
Wish I could sew. My Mum could sew anything from pillow cases and skirts to curtains and soft furnishings! Sadly I didn't get the sewing gene.
 
Rosie, my piggie, has finally figured out how to give proper kisses. Before she was always nibbling (HARD) but I suppose she got the hint when I kept flinching and complaining. Only took us 8 months, now she can't stop :roll: :D

First up is a t shirt for me. Might need to do some more skirts/dresses for Jessica as I have some cotton fabric to use. I have so many patterns from hoodies to pants so lets just hope working with jersey is as easy as working with cotton :))

Yes the course is my PRINCE2 foundation course. Largely trying to remember all manner of jargon but seems to be going well so far.
 
My daughter is physically back at school.
She was accepted into her dream school in Feb 2020 and due to start in April 2020.
She finally got there physically in Sept 2020, and spent the grand total of 11 weeks there.
She hasn't been physically in school since the end of November 2020, so today was a momentous day for her.
 
Eddie has started hopping up onto my lap at veggies time 🥰🥰 He jumped up and down again 3 times one day 😂 It's funny because Elvis doesn't like to be touched but he's been hopping up onto my lap for a while now and Eddie, who does like a stroke, has never done it... Until now!
I wonder if one day I'll be blessed with 2 piggies on my lap at the same time?
 
Managed to change our holiday so no loss of the deposit.
This was already postponed from last year!
Hopefully by next July all will be well and we can safely travel to Cyprus.
It will be lovely as we went there for our honeymoon and next year will be our 30th anniversary

I read to the class and taught a lesson today. Behaviour was good overall. They have come back a bit chatty but I was forewarned. It was nice to be back in front of the class again 😁

It's nice to feel like we're back at school properly, apart from the handwashing and reminding to try and keep a distance etc. What year are teaching?
 
Had our first BBQ of the season tonight, coats and blankets on, mittens at the ready😆but so nice to sit outside with the fire glowing🔥Will have to remember to get up in the morning and that it's a Wednesday, feels strangely decadent but its nice to do something spontaneous🥙🍖

I’m in year 3 again. I’m really happy to be with them again, but I also miss the year 1s. I was in there for four weeks. I stopped to talk to some of them at lunch time and one asked when I’m going back. It’s a pity the trust won’t be hiring any new teachers. I’d have loved to keep up to date with some of the children.

That sounds like fun, even with the blankets 😄 now you need one of those small incinerators so you can stay warm!
 
Very relieved schools are back I felt the kids didn't need the Easter hols, felt like losing momentum again, but of course the teachers certainly needed a break. It's nice to feel you have a connection with the kids, things can change @Siikibam you never know when there might be another vacancy....

No need for an incinerator, BBQ hot banana with a choc flake, that kept my lap warm, ooer, that sounds a bit saucy🤭😆

Not sure what kind of bananas you eat 😬🤣🤣🤣

It is good to have a connection with them. It’s definitely not this year though, head told us yesterday.

Oh well you'll be there on the spot and first to hear when anything changes then.

That heat was fierce after burning for 4hrs, those 'nanas were sizzling, we'll be cooking breakfast on that bbq😜

Oh definitely, but I prefer hatching them. The ones I breed generally have better stats, the ones I find in the overworld tend to have some of the worst stats possible...except the Abomasnow from yesterday, lol.
 
So apologies in advance because knowing me I'll make this far too long but

I've had issues with psoriasis for years, and in the past year or so it had got really bad again. Not related to Covid or lockdown, it had been heading that way for a while and nothing seemed to make the slightest difference. My scalp was covered in lesions, the skin was peeling off behind (and on and in) my ears, my chest was constantly angry looking, it had even spread to my back and groin. No amount of prescribed steroids or emollients were making any headway in treating it.

Roll on to February this year, where I was hospitalised for a few weeks with something I thought was unrelated. Allegedly I was depressed, but we discovered fairly quickly that actually my B12 levels had tanked, again, and that could account for pretty much all of my symptoms. Well, whatever. Six B12 injections, several doses of high strength B12 tablets, and a new meds regime, and I'm outta there.

Now, I don't know what the actual trigger point for this is, but I realised yesterday that not only have the psoriasis patches on my chest/groin/back/elbows cleared up or even disappeared, but my scalp is lesion free. Completely lesion free. It hasn't lost that "dry-enough-it-looks-burnt" look yet, but other than that, it's clear. It's better than it has been for over half a decade.

Wow! At least now you know. I’m glad it’s gotten better though.
