The grumpy old woman strikes again.....

It is snowing. I knew you wanted to hear that. I remember the days when snow was unusual. Fun. Those days are long gone. Mind you, as long as it covers the ice so I can walk without doing a mad impression of a skater on speed, I will be quite happy. My arms are tired of going like windmills, and seeing that I always have leki poles attached to them, I am quite lethal out there. See me coming , and cross the street. Just in case. I could lop someone's extremities off with ease. And the arms have had enough workout. It is the region below the arms which could do with many extreme workouts, I confess.

Sigh.

Growing older is not going quite as planned.

I crocheted my new hat last night, but ran out of wool. And then I "played" with an eight year old. The "Let's use all Marge's craft punches on every colour paper we can find and punch out little miniature things" game. And then put them in little bags in matching colours. And then I snarled at my sister because I was not all sweetness and light by then, and went to bed.

So this morning, I woke up with a resolution to be smiley. That didn't last long, because I can't find my (cheap) necklace. But I did plod off gingerly to the wool shop to get another ball of wool so I can finish my hat later.

But maybe a nap is in order right now. Note to self - wake up smiling.......
