The blogger returns

It's been almost four months since I last wrote. I haven't forgotten about my blogs - just circumstances have made it very difficult to write. Even now, I am struggling as Norris has decided to settled in his favourite position - my chest. He is perched between the keyboard and my chin, making typing extremely awkward. Thankfully I am a touch typist and computers allow us to correct typing errors as we go.
So, what has been happening over the last 12 weeks or more? Apart from a family wedding, it's been pretty much life as we know it, but for some reason I have been unable to write. Even my much loved garden has got away on me and partly finished quilts have languished in the sewing room. However, to give myself some credit, I did finish one quilt for a grandson's birthday and have made a tunic top for myself. I have also finished a very small knitted garment for a pending grandchild who could arrive any day now.
Norris and Molly have had their visit to the vet and can no longer reproduce. They coped very well and Molly is due to have her stitches out in a week's time. I will post more about their antics in another blog.
I can't actually pinpoint any particular reason for my "blog block" except perhaps Facebook and a silly game called Farmville. Nothing wrong with the game at all but the developers keep coming up with new things just as I decide to stop playing. There is plenty of life outside of Farmville but I also really enjoy the interaction with my friends who also play. I think I have now found a healthy balance whereby I can still enjoy the on line interaction as well as continue to challenge myself in real life.
