My email friend Pam West (click on name to go to her website) did this portrait. She thought it looked like one of my dogs, and I agree. I didn't know that modest Pam was an artist.
Micah and Whitney are all tarted up for tomorrow's show and I am soon off to bed. Since I had three pairs of boots arrive today, my footwear for tomorrow has changed to pastel green and coral. They match the colours in the waistcoat.
I did my swim this morning. I have also been taking Sennakot , 2 twice a day for the last three days cos I was bunged up and nothing was happening. Today, a few hours after this morning's dose, rather too much is happening! I am hoping it will be done by 4am when I leave here.
I have FIVE pairs of socks on the go. I couldn't control myself. Thankfully I wasted no time trying to find the repeats or making sure I cast on a particular break. I just picked up the damn yarn and cast on and away I went. What will be will be.
I did make a concession with the Road Gerry from Lorna's Lace. It was going to stripe and not nicely so I just carried on increasing until it did something else. It obliged at 84st and is now spiralling in a very nice way. It is on 2mm needles and 84 sts is that little bit too loose for me, I prefer tight, but probably normal for most people.
Speaking of tight, can anyone explain why my legs, hands, and torso feel better when I am wearing tight undergarments and tight gloves? I wear support tights most of the time now and my vest is always tight and I wear tight half gloves most of the time. My guess is that it has something to do with the pressure but I can't figure how or why that would help my condition.

Good luck at the show, post pics please! :-)
Oh Lord, I don't know if it's the lateness of the hour or the fact that I'm on my second rather large glass of vino, but I keep hearing in my head the Paul McCartney/Wings song "Band on the Run," and all I can think of is what my brother-in-law said to my mother-in-law when she asked him what the song was about. He said "It's about a bunch of guys getting away from their mothers."
Sorry. It's been a rough week!
I think you get support that perhaps your respective muscle groups aren't getting?
Anyone from the medical provession (whom we can trust) here?
OK, good night. I'll try to behave now.
I think Joan is right. If I wear support hose to work, I feel a lot better after eight hours of walking around, than if I don't. I am assuming that it is a matter of circulation. Also when I have sore wrists, I wear an elastic bandage, and that is helpful. That, I think is because of the muscle (or whatever - maybe tendons) support. Bottom line - if it feels good, do it.
Hi Colin, I was reading your blog today and then later looking for info on othostatic intolerance. Since pressure garments came up on both I thought I'd comment. The information mentions hat "Pressure garments can reduce symptoms associated with orthostatic intolerance by constricting blood pressures with external body pressure."
I could be making 5 out of 2+2 but just in case it's useful I thought I'd pass it on.
