Dear @Appleblossom @outlander ,

i am sorry I have not replied sooner, I have been really finding life very uncomfortable and hard work.  I still have almost ever present SI and am tired by it.  I struggle for moments of joy  

it is late Sunday morning here and I am back in bed drinking coffee after looking after my little granddaughter for the morning.  

I am thinking of going back to work, just part time to have a bit extra money. I hate struggling to find enough to get by.

i shall tackle the floors and the ironing today and then knit this evening.  

I like to read all sort of books Appleblossom.but I like to read what woukd often be referred to as “literature”. I like modern authors and the classics,  I was brought up on the classics as my mother was and English teacher and one of the first women to graduate with a masters in literature here.  I can really lose myself in stories.  Sometimes I read just anything, for an escape from reality.
