Woe is me!

Hiya one and all... I've just arrived home in Yorkshire for an overnight stay, we've done a little visiting and we were going to go dancing tonight except that I'm on crutches! I fell in a (very big!) pot hole on Sunday and I've sprained my ankle! I have an aversion to hospitals (when I'm the patient!) so I didn't go for an xray until Monday, thankfully my ankle isn't broken but I have been given a set of crutches - "Use them," he said, "or you'll cause yourself other problems" and I believe it - I had been hobbling around and now my hips and my knees are hurting! So I'm doing as the Dr ordered and using the crutches - I feel silly and they are very cumbersome so I'm a tad grumpy!

Anyway, onto the 365 calendar challenge ..... March finished....



And April ready....



I've taken the photo's tonight so I'm sorry about the shadow... I can't do it tomorrow because we're up early and away back to Durham... on the way we shall make a pit stop in lovely Helmsley - I am going shopping for an outfit for our daughter's wedding in May. Don't know how I'll fair with the crutches but I've got to stick to the plan!

    oooooo poor you! Crutches are so hard to use! But, do as the doctor ordered and hopefully you will soon be back on your feet again! Loving the calendar, so much detail. I admire you for keeping up with the challenge. Sue x

    Sorry to hear about your ankle! I too have injured myself through no fault of my own and am feeling pretty rubbish right now.

    steal one of those granny wagons from Sainsbury - you know the motorised wheelchair/scooters for the immobile- and you can yell orders from your seated position...keep it elevated or you will still be on crutches in May....

    Oh Sandra - you poor thing - LOL although I am trying not to imagin you on the dancefloor with crutches - Make sure your well mended for Brid in June!
    Love your pages - Is the bunting your own creation or is it P/Paper? Either way it's very lush.

    Hope you are taking good care of yourself and that poor sweet ankle! Your calendars are beautiful, love 'em. Thank you for visiting my blog and commenting about my April calendar...and yes, they are all hand-drawn daisy-flowers. (I put a button down for the center diameter, so I'd know how big to keep doodling!!!) ♥

    No fun! Still a good excuse to leave the housework and create (sorry I mean rest your ankle!) hope you heal soon, but don't rush it, sprains are nasty if you push it too quickly.
