I absolutely love gardening, reading, listening to music and real conversations (not the dreaded small talk) some politics

Hi

I like to craft when I'm able.

I started many years ago card making.

I also play around with jewellery making.

Nothing too trying earrings and bracelets.

I've tried crochet and knitting in fact I enjoy most crafts.

If I cannot manage to get involved in craft due to my illness I like to watch YouTube channels and TV .

I play a couple of games on my tablet while I eat breakfast, it gives me a feel of how much energy I have and pain I am in that day before I start any chores. If I have a crap day of no energy and more pain (or over did it the day before, which is sooooo easy) then I sit in my little caravan Eddy on the drive and do jigsaws. I've always been a very independent individual, done my own DIY, decorating, gardening, carpet laying etc, so I get very irritated if I have to sit on my backside and do nothing because I can't do anything. So by sitting in Eddy doing jigsaws I have a change of scenery and feel like I'm doing something without actually doing anything. It helps with my mental state.
