This is my little corner, by the window and right next to the kitchen, with a view of snow capped peaks out to towards the Austrian border. I&#8217;ve moved my trusty basket of goodies here and with Radio 4, my knitting, the laptop and my odds and ends, this is where I&#8217;m staying. Or that is, this is where I&#8217;m staying till I hobble off to the doctor in a little while. I&#8217;ve reached the delightful heights of hobbling, which is probably just as well, because I was extremely dangerous with my crutches and am convinced that I would have had an even worse accident if I&#8217;d carried on with them. I never could get along with additions to my limbs &#8211; tennis racquets, hockey sticks and now I see, crutches are just not for me. They require some form of extended co-ordination which I singularly fail to possess.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, it&#8217;s Monday. School and work have started up again and I am delightfully, no, positively blissfully alone. Not being able to rush around takes some getting used to. Normally I&#8217;m up and down our three flights of stairs a zillion times a day and I&#8217;m such a flibertygibbet I jump from this to that and always have trouble settling. Now I seem to have no choice. I can manage the stairs, but very slowly and without being able to carry anything much. So I&#8217;ve just decided that I&#8217;m going to be sensible and stay resolutely put in my corner.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s actually rather nice. Periodically I do have a little potter just to keep my circulation going as my lower leg started swelling up a little alarmingly yesterday, but I&#8217;m really sticking at potter level and nothing more. My salvation is that one extremely helpful daughter and her father took down all the Christmas decorations yesterday and we cleaned the living room &#8211; which means that I&#8217;m relishing that lovely post-Christmas decluttered feeling &#8211; and it&#8217;s clean, so I&#8217;m not itching to be washing floors or anything silly.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m seriously considering starting my first pair of socks of the year, even though I know I should really be knuckling down and finishing my cardigan. I&#8217;m being totally tempted by this&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.runquiltknitwrite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/21.jpg\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3110\" title=\"2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.runquiltknitwrite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/21.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.runquiltknitwrite.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/21.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.runquiltknitwrite.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/21-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.crownmountainfarms.com\" >Crown Mountain Farms<\/a> <em>Sock Hop Yarn<\/em> in Dreamer.<\/p>\n<p>Well, could you resist?<\/p>\n<p>Helen<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is it.
