A week of April gone already

..... and I haven't posted since January. We've once again been decorating and making myself a craft room, not one of the bedrooms this time as every time I grab a bedroom for me one of the girls come home so I'm not taking any chances this time.

Just as we'd about finished everything I decided to give everywhere a good clean and that's how I've ended up with a dodgy knee for the past four weeks. I was only kneeling down to polish a little table when I managed to roll my knee and twist my back at the same time.

It has made me feel so miserable and so old and the physio who I've spoken to twice on the phone keeps hinting that at my age I should expect a few aches and pains, it didn't stop him giving me lots of exercises to do though. 

I've not done much, I've been trying to do a little stitching but I can't get into it at the moment.

Hoping that I can get back into my stitching soon as I have another exchange coming up.

The garden needs a lot of love after we moved a lot round at the end of the year and we've been to the garden centre and bought a few seeds and compost to get me started. I put some tomato seeds and a few flower seeds in trays but there's a lot more to be done and if I could just get a bit of motivation going I'd be ok.

I don't think the weather is helping, it never seems to stop raining lately but I shouldn't complain, at least it's filling the water buts up in case we have another hot summer.

I've been watching a pair of robins starting their nest in the climbing hydrangea, I think we may have to put some netting over it as last year the magpies kept stealing the blackbirds eggs that were nesting in there and I don't want it happening again. We have a pair of magpies and pigeons that steal all of the bird food so we may have to sort something out for the smaller birds this year.

Well it looks like the sun is out so I might head outside and see what I can do, take care all,
