- Arrrgggh this ear infection is absolutely kicking my ass. 😩 I’ve had an ear ache for over a week and have been on antibiotic drops for four days with no sign of relief. Time to haul my ass to the pharmacist cos lord knows I won’t get to see a GP for a month. 😣 #LongCovid #immunocompromised
- Bad news: pharmacist says my antibiotics are for a deep ear infection and may not be appropriate & I need a GP assessment. Good news: GP surgery took me seriously & I’m booked in for Thursday. 🤞
- Woke up feeling like someone’s beaten me up with a lead pipe then scooped out my ear with a rusty spoon. 😩 My health is so precarious that one lil infection sends me back into the abyss & I hate it. Pleeeease, universe, let me be healthy for my trip next week. 🙏 I’ve been looking forward to it sm!
- Woot, antibiotics acquired! 😎 Dr said it’s a middle ear infection so no ear drops were ever going to reach it… 🤞💊
- I sewed two FibreMood Dymar tops using merino wool jersey - a favourite of mine for winter base layers & a pair of FehrTrade Steeplechase Leggings using Funkifabrics' excellent Thermo fleece-lined lycra. blog.fehrtrade.com/gallery/1056... #sewing
- We’ve returned to a favourite winter slow cooker stew tonight, loosely made from a recipe book we picked up on one of our trips to Hungary 10-15 years ago. Utterly delicious. (It demands fresh tarragon - don’t be tempted to make it with dried!) #recipe
- I’m quite pleased with how my Hollander’s Cherry cocktail turned out tonight for our lil Heated Rivalry club pre-party 😌🍒
- On FehrTrade today: my #HeatedRivalry tribute fleece based on THE Team Canada one Shane wears. Since I get mistaken for Canadian enough as it is, I opted for HOLLANDER 24 on the back of mine instead of CANADA. I sewed it all from scratch & I adore it! blog.fehrtrade.com/gallery/1057... #sewing
- Now with added video, which took me almost as long to make as the fleece itself… 🙈 #sewing #HeatedRivalry
- I finished reading The Rose Field last night and then my brain woke me up at 4am remembering more and more things that annoyed me about it. I am SO disappointed I waited 8 years to be let down this badly. The characters deserved so much better. #booksky
