Life in the slow lane

-
Not much happening in my life right now, staying indoors and warm is number one priority. I am still knitting socks just not as much as I did before medical issues late summer. These were knit for the Monstersockkal2021 from 15 Sept. to 15 Oct. I'd been saving a bowl full of little bits, to good to chuck and barely enuff for a pattern n a sock. Along came the KAL just when I needed it
Late summer I had a few medical issues the anathesia screwed up the brain talking to fingers. The first post op sock had loads of small mistakes in the peerie patterns. The secong much better. But was I ever glad to have them finished.
Next will be all my WIP, a pair of fatties from the Monstersock list, then a pair of variegateld greens, after both these will go to pair of gloves I started this time last year. Meanwhile I'm pretty much back to almost normal behavior, some days I cook and sometimes I don't. Laundry is still a bugger, but slowly getting caught up.

    Glad to hear you're continuing to get better and that your fingers and brain are back on speaking terms. Don't forget to eat. Enjoy all the sports on tv.

    Great to hear from you! Being put to sleep (notice how cleverly I avoided spelling that word!) messes up everyone's brain! I am so glad that you are on the final road to recovery. Love all of the socks. And when they are on a foot, who will ever investigate to find a mistake? Keep warm and safe.

4 more pair on needles, work on each for at least 10 rows every other day before putting it down. Blue pair is farest along and have everything ready for sock #2. Blue pair will be identical all the others fraternal. A couple of nights ago bout 9pm saw a blue heron land in tree just south of the house, watched it preen for some time and when it was to dark for a pix 2 more landed in tree beside the first. Same day saw a kingfisher dive towards the river. Bear activity has cooled down, assume they are over at the Chilko River system fishing for salmon. Last black I saw was just its backside as it headed for the west fence got a quick pix but not worth posting. Nothing much happening in my wild mountain valley these days, some ranchers have finally been able to start cutting hay, and everyone else is hoping for rain. So many bad fires in BC again this season.

Finally got myself to town Dec. 27-28. Prescriptions, haircut, groceries, and most important getting bank Visa problems straightened out. Tried dealing with bank via telephone and both times I connected got someone that wouldn't acknowledge that I was hard of hearing, heavy accents didn't help. Had 7 charges for Play Station almost $1000, since I've never even seen one, wasn't me . Because of all the weird charges they wouldn't activate the new Visa card. A good weather window opened so in I went, took almost an hour getting everything straightened out. Meanwhile when I did get to the grocery store almost filled my buggy with produce and fruit. Had help unloading the car when I got home Thursday 3 ish. Did bring a nasty bout of the local crud home with me, first time in several years that a cold hit me so hard.  One of the first pair of Koigu gloves I did were for me, but last winter I snagged middle finger on a nail on my handrail, brought them up front, cut off da

Grizzlies

May 30th had a visiting grizzly complete with two yearling cubs, camera at hand got 3 pix before she and cubs wandered off. 2023 season off to a good start, 2 blacks and 3 griz in my yard. Sock knitting continues as always, pix of latest finished pair of Monstersocks. As soon aas they were finished started another pair using a midnight blue Hawthorne from Knit Picks, but instead of Monstersocks am going back to old standby fair-nordic patterns, dk blue will be main colour then orange, med gray, red and white for the patterns. Fairly conservative for my knitting. Went into town on Monday, oil change, checked in at Speedy Glass about a new windshield (come back in a week), picked up my new glasses, then a motel for the night. Tuesday had dentist appointment at 9 am, think its the last for a while, then renewed ICBC (license plate and insurance for another year), picked up some groceries and lastly Kal Tire where I finally got winter tires off my Subie (they go back on October 1).
