Bead all about it

So I mentioned that I've been making jewellery, here's something I made today - a necklace made with an oversized carved rose quartz butterfly and pale pink glass pearls. Very girlie.



Oh what the heck, i can't tease you with that, here are a few more made in the last couple of months:

Cobwebs and mildew

That's all I have to offer to those who might have been lured here by a small brown bear with a heart as soft as caramel. Have a read by all means, one day I shall pick up where I left off but it's really difficult, daunting even when so much has happened in the last 18 months ... where do I start?

First off I'm alive and reasonably well. My transplanted kidney is working beautifully. I still get kick out of having a full bladder and having a damn good pee. Unless you've been in the position of not peeing anymore you probably can't see the attraction but every time I have one I breathe a sigh of satisfaction.

I recently tore something in my knee and am waiting for an MRI to see what exactly has come loose. Captain Scarlet and I were looking forward to our first proper holiday in 4 years - 2 weeks in sunny Florida with Mickey and the gang - but we have postponed until September. Ironically I need to build up some stamina before we go away because uur holidays in Florida usually equate to yomping with the SAS across Wales and we generally need a good lie down at the end of each day, sadly at the moment I can barely hobble round Sainsbury's.

That's it for now. Oh I forgot, I now make jewellery and will post some pictures of my "creations". Really that's it, I'm all out of fresh thoughts. Thanks for following the Hobnob crumbs to my place.
