Birdie Heart

Hi, hope you are all being good and staying safe 

in your own homes!!

I have had a text this morning from my friend, Lorraine,

saying that her Dad, our neighbour, passed away at 10pm 

last night. 

I am so shocked, as she has lost both her parents in 1 week.

I am sorry I haven't been visiting your blogs, but I am 

having a problem with my knees. I have had one replacement 

about 7 years ago and the other one is now very painful. 

I am finding it hard to sit at my craft desk, 

computer desk or even my laptop, being too heavy on my knee..

I can take pain but not like this. I am even finding it difficult 

to walk around the house. It's the dreaded Osteo-arthritis. 

Also my fault for spending 5 hours working in the garden!!

It's been in pain for 11 days now and getting boring!!

This a paper mache heart I have had for a few years. 

So as I had some pretty tissue in my stash, I had a play 

with it on the heart. 

I cut out some of the bigger flowers and the birds, stuck them 

onto scraps of card and then used Pinflair Glue gel to 3D them. 

This was done a few weeks ago.

Well I have to go now, as my knee feels like a red hot poker is

being twisted in my knee joint. An ice pack is called for now!! 

My neighbour came out of hospital and the following day, 

 he was taken back in. Now fighting for his life on a ventilator!

If that wasn't enough, one of my very old friends is very 

ill with cancer.

A lovely, very kind lady and will miss her very much. 

A friend for 29 years.

What a happy time we are having this year!! ....Not!!!

Big hugs,

Carol
