I just wanted to blog today so here I am. Monday morning this is what I am doing. I’ve been up at 7:30 am everyday the last week. My body clock seems to be fixed that way. So I’m over tired because I’m only getting on average 6 hours sleep a night. I do try to take a nap or go to bed earlier but it just doesn’t work. Right now, I should do some work but I just can’t be bothered. So sue me. I usually try and keep my blog pretty upbeat but sadly life’s not always like that. You gotta take the rough with the smooth lol.

I’m always miserable around this time of year due to the increased allergies, blocked nose and sinus issues and the hot eye feeling that seems to pervade my every concious moment. I really wish I could enjoy the lovely weather without fear of dying! It’s really hit hard in the past week. There was me thinking I was gonna get off lightly this year.

Over the weekend I’ve been trying to write up the Mary Jane Patterns but I’m having to knit them as I go to check they make sense so it’s going so slowly. I want to get it right though as it will be my first pattern and I’d rather not have to amend it 100 times once it’s submitted! I’m committed to getting it done within the next year though :D.

Hmmm what else…

I have a tan! That’s not really news as I tan so easily I only have to be out 5 minutes, Great to get rid of that pasty grey look you get after a few months of no sun. I love the sun! I wonder if you still get hayfever if you move abroad? Must research this…

Oh and remember the good thing I was telling you about. Turn out it’s more complex than I first thought.

For those who wanted a paper globe tutorial, Heather Bailey @ HELLOmynameisHeather has one here (PDF). It would have been useful had I seen it before I made mine but oh well lol. I made mine using a slightly different technique (I’m glue-phobic in crafts, double sided sticky as much as poss!), it essentially shows you how to make the exact same thing. Bonus for me not having to write one haha. I really ? Heather Baileys site. I wish my husband, should I have one lol, was a photographer. Then he could take wonderful photos to put on my blog! I also wish he bought me £3000 sewing machines but I’d settle for the previous!

Also, I’ve decided I don’t like my new camera. I was a lot happier with my Canon camera :(. So I may just have to buy a new one. I think I will have to go into a store and try them out because this one had good reviews but I just don’t like it.

That’s all I have to say for now.

They sorted out my internet speed woohoo! After everything it was a line conflict, they reset it, it worked. I’m currently severely abusing it on youtube haha. Now I can visit all my favourite blogs again. The ones with hundreds of great pictures I couldn’t see. So you should see me blogging more often with photo’s.

On a more sour note my baby sis is in the hospital! They think she has a burst appendix or a ruptured ovary :-s. First they told her she was dehydrated though. Unfortunately there is nothing I can do from where I am as she’s in Basildon, which is out in the sticks and for those of you who don’t know we have major storms happening in England. I will call later for a progress update.

Now the aatchoo part. Hayfever has started already :(. So I’m dropping, popping and blowing my eyedrops, Anti-h’s and nose (respectively) constantly now. I hope it doesn’t last as long as last year. Anyone know a good remedy? Nothing seems to work for me. The Opticrom Eye Drops really help my eyes but the nose and sniffing feeling I get is horrid all through. I turn into the tissue monster!
