Good Morning Carol and all the others members.
Unfortunately I cant knit anymore like I used to because the Arthritis and Ankylosing Spondylitis makes my fingers seize up and I cant hold the needles for long without dropping them due to the ruddy cramping. Excercising helps as a rule but with not being able to stand on my hip that too has proved difficult. I only wish befriending WAS available but I have been into all that even when Cliff was alive and they always say they will get back to me but never do. IF I could knit it would certainly help to keep the gremlins away. I should not grumble or moan because there are folks a ruddy sight worse off than me and I can still type on the computer with the middle finger of my right hand so its good to call in various places to say Hello and to play Scrabble.
Luckily I have found a lady who can take me out at times when she is not booked up because she is self employed and I pay her so much an hour.
My lovely family helps and my son calls every morning to do any odd chores so as I said I SHOULD NOT moan. IF I could get out of the front door with my walker to have a shuffle up the drive it might help but I must admit its hard going and my family dont like me trying in case I finish up falling and breaking something else. Sod this getting old business.
