Hi @Ribh Has the baby girl arriven yet?! I know it isn't mid-Sept yet, but I thought I'd ask. I feel I know you, (after 150 odd pages) yet hesitate to use your real name, since you have absolutely no idea who I am...Everything round here is *suddenlies*. Suddenly our son arrived. Suddenly we needed a few more things. Suddenly I finished YD's afghan & passed it along. Suddenly all YD's housemates want one too. I have enough orders to keep me busy crocheting for months! Suddenly I needed more wool. So where I have been today is on the mainland attending to the suddenlies. To say my girls are peeved would be an understatement.
We have a grandchild arriving mid September So that has been this month's project ~ a lovely waffle pattern but following instructions is not my forte & I have had some really dyslexic moments getting the pattern to work. *sigh* I'll be done before I have this nailed.It's not difficult; I just have trouble *seeing* what needs doing.

Some time ago I made a lovely lacy blankie for a PEI friend's daughter & YD has put in an order for her pregnant housemate ~ only in PINK! I do not like pink.
The girls loved me sitting out on the verandah in summer while I crocheted. They would gather round to chat & comment like a bunch of old Amish women! It was terribly funny.
So while John came home laden with bags of cement & mortar colouring & shovels & things of that nature I went & bought pink wool.
What are elapids and dropbearsWhat about your plentiful weasel populations?@Butterscotchbitesfinger
Though, you do have a ton more elapids to worry about down there. So beautiful, so scary... and those spiders (ick!!!)
My girls only seem to like their grass and forage, but the Farm chickens, (all my little rescues) like kale and cabbage, but won’t touch lettuce... I suppose the chickens know what they need best, and so long as they aren’t gorging on treats they’re probably getting everything they need.
Rest up well! And remember to hydrate and take plenty of breaks. Sleep is a wonderful thing... I finally think I’ve caught up from my hatching sleep deprivation. I’ve been sleeping through all the ferry rides for vet trips (to the snoring fairly loudly point according to my mother) and after the last chicks were transferred into the small brooder I proceeded to take a 5 hr long (9am) nap yesterday. My sleep schedule hasn’t been this wonky since working full graveyard shifts for inventory counting! I do appreciate a good nights rest after a day of hard work, physically taxing things helps me sleep better 98% of the time!

That's fine. I was a homeschooling blogger for years & have been blessed with wonderful online friendships. I know how to keep my private stuff private & a name is just a name so use whatever you are comfortable with. We have been joking here that everyone was calling me Rib in their mind when it's actually Gaelic & pronounced Reev.
I think everyone's still having trouble with that. 
Kris was being funny. Elapids are venomous snakes & drop bears are like the yeti ~ a figment of someone's overactive imagination & used to confuddle unwary tourists.What are elapids and dropbears
Thanks, Sue. How are you doing?Good evening everyone
Good morning Bob
She looking much betterI'm so happy for you .
my headaches are staying around level 1\2 and just when we think the swelling is going away 
. The balancing act is crazy a in order to keep the swelling down, I'm supposed to keep my feet up and drink water but I need to build my strength up and I can't do that sitting all day
