OT-SATURDAY morning here!Knitting, books...

A bit cloudy here today, but after wonderful spring-sunshine- dream- days, I think we will survive!LOL! Girls, I have had some fantastic days, just sitting in the sun, "healing", knowing that I could not do much more. Three of the "sores" I did not feel I had at all, but one was bigger, it was bleeding the first night after surgery, so I felt I had to be careful so it healed properly.

As I have told others, This is the first time I can remember, that I have relaxed in my chair for so long, without sending a SINGLE thought to what I SHOULD have done! We girls are strange that way, bad consience and restlessness follow us! I think we are "brought up too well"! LOL!

I have knitted a summer sweather these days, I will put up a picture when it's ready. (I found the pattern on the web, you will get that link too.)

AND I have read a lot. I finished the wonderful Amos Oz' book, Mirjam. The first day at hospital, I knew that would be a "waiting day", I found a deep, "relax- chair", and went into Amos Oz' world.

When I then was called to examination by the doctor, she said: "I bet you do a lot of work out! Your "resting pulse" is down to 60!" (LOL::: Work Out... my bad consiense) I told her that I REALLY had rested in a chair with a fantastic book, for at least two hours, you don't get high pulse from that!

After that, I have read the two first books about Mme Rabotswe, Maria, and others who recomended it! I see they don't have the other four, not even in english, at the library, but I CAN order them online. HOW SWEET BOOKS!!! I like the way McCall Smith writes, and I lowe Mme Rabotswe! ME.. who like crime, but cannot STAND bloody crime(!How to find "nice" crime, eh????) This was just something for me! Hardly crime at all! LOL! But lots of wisdome!

Well, now my lazy, enjoying days is soon ended, but I feel ready for work, and I WILL still find some time for knitting and reading and gardening .. .... I think this is the privilege of us "grown ups" who do not have children at home any more!

Hej Aud!

Glad that you liked them! They are perfect reading for a convalescence! Lots of wisdom and positive vibes. Just the right way to look at life. If you can=B4t find them in Norway I can send you them in English. Let me= =20 know, this e-mail address is working :-) The first two have been translated into Swedish as well, but I don=B4t=20 like to read Swedish translations, unless it=B4s absolutely necessary (as= =20 for my beloved Arto Paasilinna). I like to read Swedish writers though.

Do you have Valborgsm=E4ssoafton in Norway as well? I have never been to =

the bonfires in the six years I have been living in Sweden. I would like =

to, but I am very afraid of drunken people on the way home :-(

I looked at your album and the bags you made are simply fabulous! And I=20 repeat myself: you simply SHOULD work as professional photographer for a =

handwork magazine!

Krya p=E5 dig! Have a speedy recovery,

Anna Maria

Glad to hear that you are healing well and enjoyed some restful days in good weather. We are having rainy weather just now but have had some glorious days this winter and spring, so can't complain. The good weather does lift my spirits too. We are hoping to get up one of the islands in Puget Sound this week and the weather is supposed to be great.

I am busy right now as we are having an event in our home this evening for a small nonprofit group tonight - to help get people in the community to understand and support the work it does. They are trying to protect and restore a wetland and small stream in our community. The wetland is now a park, largely due to the work of the group, and they are now concentrating mostly on the stream. Anyway, we have been cleaning house and getting things ready before the guests arrive tonight.

I will be interested to see your summer sweater.

Aud, THat sounds like a wonderful day! It also sounds as though your healing is progressing well, which is a good thing. Now, don't rush the process - another thing women are too often guilty of.

Hi Aud,

Just remember when you go back to class on Monday to take it easy. You'll find even though you rested that you will tire quickly. Now, I wish we had some nice weather, but it's going to be cool all week and wet. I think the months are confused again this year, March winds in April, April showers now and into May and May flowers will be in June.

Hugs,

Nora

****No, we do not celebrate Valborgsmässo, but we have bonfires the 23. of june, St Hans. And drunk people. You can put Pepperspray ready to use, in your pocket (not allowed here, but still...) OR BETTER: A looooong hat needle!!!! You should not by any sircumstances sit home on Valborgsmässo!LOL!****

I looked at your album and the bags you made are simply fabulous! And I repeat myself: you simply SHOULD work as professional photographer for a handwork magazine!

****Thank you! You know I like to play with colores, and also to find places for my work which can "play up to" their colores.**** Hugs from AUD; Enjoy Valborgsmesso!

What your physician said about your "resting pulse" is a GOOD thing. It means you are in good physical shape, heart strong, lungs good, etc. But it also means you are taking time to have a "resting pulse" too. Keep it up!!!!!

Good Healing AUD ,,,, Ah yes Sitting without `that inner voice` telling us what to do.....The dishres the washing the broom ,,,, i know ,, funny ladies we are all lead by it ,,,,, But a rest day we `earned for health ,,, AHA Yes Use it savour it ,, we don`t get too much ..

I am so happy you enjoyed it,,, For usit was wonderful to read about all these Real people [ did you notice he mentions meeting Agnon who later got the Nobel Literature Prize ,,, Reading the book gave me a sort of OK To go on with my Way of Telling the strories [related to the documents], in all the versions i know. MrsRamotzws has been now translated into Hebrew , today i visited a book shop i know , and commented to the selling lady [ who i know ] that i read it in English , she asked my opinion about it and asked if i could describre it a bit as people ask, and she had`nt read it ,,, thus i told her what i liked about it she was quite thankful . Be well ,, Ps i started reading the The Rule of Four ,,, i am not sure it starts a bit Slow ,,,, mirjam
