My lunchbox has stayed on top of the cupboard today. Mr Bun always packs my lunch for me on work days. Today was a work day, but my lunchbox and I didn't leave home. Yesterday something went snap with my back and I can barely walk, let alone drive. So I had to call in sick, which wasn't great for all the work I'm supposed to do, but it turned out fine and dandy for my pile of knitting and crochet.
I propped myself up with plenty of cushions and cosied under a blanket. Clicked on Murder on the Orient Express on the iplayer and settled down to make the sleeves for Eldest Bun's jumper. I'm determined to finish it before the winter's over.
I also had all my pencils and books handy so I could jot down some ideas and check patterns.
I'm walking like a duck with constipation (how I imagine one would walk I guess) so it was pretty difficult to get about today. Lovely then to have all that knitting time and not be able to do anything else for a change.
Hope I get nursed properly this evening as I feel the need for Hot Chocolate and eating cosy by the fire.
No one makes feeling poorly sound quite so quaint and lovely, Miss Bun. Enjoy and feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteOh you poor thing! But your day of recuperation sounds just the ticket. Hope the snap fixes soon! Lucy x
ReplyDeleteOh dear Lisa, that sounds nasty!
ReplyDeleteHope you recover really soon.
Lovely to have enforced knitting though!! :)

Poor you! I know how grotty a bad back can be and they are no fun at all. Glad you were able to do some bits and bobs though. Hope your feeling better soon.

Take care... hope you are feeling better soon... snap/crackle/pop backs are noooo fun
ReplyDeleteOh, poor you. When I was little and people used to say they had a bad back I really couldn't understand what they were going on about - such is the joy of youth. Now, as a 40 something grown up I appreciate fully what those adults meant so many years ago - a bad back is nasty. Make sure you milk it for all its worth and hope you get better soon.

Pop a slug of Baileys in that Hot Chocolate, Mrs Bun! That's my plan for tonight... xxxxxxx
ReplyDeleteOuch Mrs Bun - that doesn't sound good at all.
ReplyDeleteLove the lunch box by the way.
Get well soon from one achy Mrs to another.

Oh gosh that sounds absolutely awful, your back, the worst pain, so debilitating isn't it. Your duck description is perfectly descriptive! I really, really hope you're better soon. Love Vanessa xxx
ReplyDeleteOh dear - hope you don't suffer for too much longer!
ReplyDeleteGood that you used your time so wisely though! What better way to cheer yourself up!
Take care -x-
What is it with New Year's and backs?! (All that lugging Christmas shopping around has something to do with it I think). Mine went a couple of years ago, not pleaseant at all so I really sympathise.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you're doing completely the right thing though, plenty of telly and crochet are just the ticket let me tell you (apart from I can't crochet but you know what I mean!)
Hope everything clicks back into place soon, take it VERY easy and rest.
Lots of love

Ouch - what you need is a visit to my physio. Trust me those good looks of his are enough to cure :)
ReplyDeleteLove your lunchbox - my old work one was a robot one too - MrVV has dinosaurs on his!!
I hope you are feeling better soon - sounds like you are really suffering, but just as well you had your knitting, crochet and left over Xmas viewing on iplayer. Take care and I hope you get a good night's sleep. xx
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon, in the mean time I prescribe plenty of crochet to make you feel better - oh and that hot chocolate :-)
ReplyDeleteOuch! Sounds painful to say the least, hope all your rest has helped and you soon can function properly. Nothing like an unexpected day for some serious knitting / hooky activity ! xox get better soon x
ReplyDeleteO dear thats not good ;-( I hope you feel better soon Back pain is not nice. But nice that you could do some knitting. Take lots of care, Dee x
ReplyDeleteOh poorly you. Backs are tricksy to say the least.
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better soon. Lots of rest, hot chocolate and cake is a necessity!
Love Jo x
Oh Lisa poor you, that happened to me a few years ago, take it easy and relax, I hope you're not in too much pain, take care, thinking of you, fliss xxxxx
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon dear friend....I find that chocolate of any kind can cure most all things!! Xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteyowser, that sounds pants! as a fellow back hurty sufferer i can thoroughly recommend bowen technique if it doesn't clear up by itself... alternatively vodka helps too... happy new year petal x
ReplyDeleteOooh, poor you...Get well soon but enjoy the creative interlude! P x
ReplyDeleteOUCH! That sound horrid, take care of yourself, much pampering required MR.Bun if you're reading!
ReplyDeleteSarah x

Hope you're feeling better soon, your day sounds perfect, if only all days could be like that..minus the back pain of course!! I love your lunch box :) Take it easy love from Jane x x x x x x
ReplyDeleteOh, get better back! How is it now? Your day sounds idyllic but I do hope you're on the mend
ReplyDeletexx
I do hope your back improves soon but maybe after you have finished that jumper ?
ReplyDeleteOO! Poor you, I know what that feel like. I must say your sketch book/note book looks very organised, much more so than mine ever could, I really should make more effort.
ReplyDeleteHope your feeling better soon.
Managed to create a few mosaics although I did in BigHugeLabs, thank you very much for your help.
love fi x
Poor you, hope you're feeling better soon. At least you're doing nice things while you're out of action.
